Kayla Nicole has shaken off her breakup with Travis Kelce and fully embraced his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Kayla, who dated Travis for five years, revealed she’s actually a Swiftie – despite previous claims she’s bitter about the split.
The model, 29, was chatting with other contestants during the season premiere of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test on FOX when she made the revelation about how she really felt about the Bad Blood singer, 35.
“I really like her,” Kayla said. “I think she’s very talented.”
Last year, Kayla admitted on Page Six that experiencing a public breakup was “overwhelming,” considering the criticism and negative comments she received from Kelce and Swift’s fanbases.
“To be reduced to a headline, to something as small as someone’s ex-girlfriend? I feel like I’m completing this [show]it will have a huge impact on myself,” she explained.
Kayla added that she still gets trolled online from time to time, despite the fact that she and Travis, also 35, split in 2022.
“It has inadvertently affected me in a way that makes me question my overall worth as a person or as a partner,” she said candidly.

Taylor and Travis first made their romance public in September 2023.
Kayla appeared on WNBA star Angel Reese’s podcast last October, where she opened up about the abuse she’s received from Swift’s die-hard legion of fans amid the new romance.
“I think the combination of everything is the perfect storm to make you completely disappear from the world,” she said on the show.
‘Behind closed doors, the hardest part is losing a partner, a best friend, who has to talk about cutting ties every day. Then you throw in social media.
“I’d be lying if I said that level of hate and online chaos hasn’t had an impact on me, even to this day. You could go to my most recent posts and people would debate why I suck.
‘It has nothing to do with me. I think there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, which is a shame because I don’t think I’ve done anything to warrant that kind of reaction.”
The interview on Angel’s show, titled Unapologeically Angel, sparked strong reactions among the singer’s loyal fanbase, with many telling her she needed to “get over” her past relationship.
Kayla also made headlines after discussing the Chiefs tight end and claiming that Taylor is the reason she no longer speaks to other Kansas City Chiefs WAGs.
Among many other revelations — including not being able to talk to Travis if they ever see each other in public — Kayla revealed that she has separated from some of the wives and girlfriends of Chiefs players with whom she was close.

During another interview with Radar Online, Kayla hinted that she is no longer as close to the group due to Swift’s frequent visits to KC.
“We’re not as cool as we used to be,” she said.
Kayla was a bridesmaid for Brittany Mahomes when she married Chiefs quarterback Patrick, who is good friends with Travis.
However, Travis’ ex revealed last year that she had unfollowed the Mahomes family on social media due to their close relationship with Swift.
She told People: “The reality is I know these people in real life.
“But publicly, because things happen so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That’s actually all. The love is still there.’
