Kayla Nicole Halloween costume accused of being a direct shot at Taylor Swift, did Travis Kelce’s ex cross the line
Nicole did not just wear a Halloween costume, she lit a match and tossed it straight into the Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce fan war. The internet is buzzing after Kayla dressed as Toni Braxton from the “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video, a breakup anthem famously aimed at another woman for taking a man who was “not worth it.”
you thought Halloween 2025 was going to be peaceful in the Kelce–Swift–Nicole universe, think again. Kayla Nicole just dropped what the internet is calling a “costume with consequences,” and Swifties, NFL fans, and pop culture detectives are eating it up like leftover trick-or-treat candy.
Kayla Nicole’s Halloween costume was anything but subtle
The sports journalist revealed her Halloween look on Instagram, transforming into the one and only Toni Braxton. Stunning? Absolutely. Innocent? The internet says: definitely not.
Kayla did not just dress as Toni, she recreated the exact look from the “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video. Yes, the same early-2000s breakup anthem where Toni basically tells another woman that her man was not worth the stress.
As she danced and lip-synced to the track, the lyrics playing included the pointed lines about dumping a husband, him begging to stay, and him not being “man enough”. Fans immediately viewed it as a lyrical side-eye directed at Taylor Swift, especially given the recent drama.
Fans think it was a direct shot at Taylor Swift
This comes after rumours that one of Taylor’s tracks on Opalite took aim at Kayla, referencing her past relationship with Travis Kelce. Kayla previously reacted to the song in a way that fans felt showed quiet shade, and now the costume has turned that energy all the way up.
Fans flooded the comments the moment the video went live. One user celebrated the “precision of the shade,” and another joked that gossip outlets would have a field day with Kayla’s bold move. Someone declared that Kayla “cleared the room” and described the costume as a masterclass in classy but devastating pettiness.
The Kayla–Taylor online cold war continues
The online tension between the two women has been heating up for months. Speculation began when Taylor allegedly referenced Kayla in lyrics that described an ex with bitterness. The singer then sent a public gift to Teyana Taylor, someone believed to be at odds with Kayla, which fans considered an extra jab.
