Kayla Nicole would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.
The sports reporter, who was in a relationship with Travis Kelce for five years before their split in 2022, experienced an awkward encounter at the New York Fashion Week event when questioned if she had any comment about his engagement to Taylor Swift on the red carpet.
At the House of Champions event, when asked a question by The Daily Mail, Kayla responded with a simple denial, saying, “I’m afraid not, not at all.
She did however confirm that she’s currently single and shared what she’s looking for in a man.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but gush about this exceptional individual I adore! He embodies unwavering honesty and possesses an incredible character that leaves me in awe. He’s the life of every party, full of spontaneity and zest for living. His bond with his family is something truly special, and he’s fortunate to have such a supportive group of friends around him. The list of his admirable traits goes on and on!
As a dedicated follower, I couldn’t help but notice Kayla’s cryptic action on social media following Taylor and Travis’ recent engagement announcement on Aug 26th. In response, she shared a thought-provoking clip featuring Tracee Ellis Ross discussing her feelings about “experiencing joy.” While this doesn’t explicitly address the engagement news, it certainly seems like Kayla might be finding solace in those words during these times.
She mentioned that she had read about this particular topic in the book titled “Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn’t Enough” some time ago, and expressed her inspiration on her Instagram Stories on August 26th, stating “I strive to be like this! Wonderful!
In the video, Tracee talks about how joy plays a significant role in her life and the efforts she makes to keep it thriving.
She explains that while she works hard at it, “I believe joy is more than just happiness. To me, happiness is a quick fix, something you buy from a convenience store, but joy is something you have to strive for, something that requires effort and practice to truly earn.
Previously, Kayla disclosed the effect that ending things with Travis before his romance with Taylor had on her personally.
She explains, “Happiness, I believe, can be bought or found easily, like at a convenience store. On the other hand, joy is something that requires effort, dedication, and practice to achieve.
Initially, Kayla shared insights about the effects Travis’ new relationship with Taylor had on her personally, as it occurred before their separation.
During a very public split, I must say it’s been incredibly intense,” she confessed on the show ‘Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test’ in January. “I’ve never encountered anything quite like it.
She described the ‘social media battlefield’ she’s been caught up in following her former relationship as persistent and draining. No matter what she posts, people seem to comment on her ex and their current situation instead of the actual topic. This unexpected turn of events has made her doubt her self-worth overall.
During the pre-game, the host acknowledged the challenge she frequently faces in dealing with comparisons drawn constantly between her and Taylor.
She clarified during the broadcast, her voice trembling with emotion. “It seems I’m merely comparing things, and I feel as though I’m stuck in a repeating cycle,” she said, implying that she was struggling to find a way to manage the situation.

Even before Taylor Swift’s visit to the Kansas City Chiefs’ game on September 24, 2023 turned into one of the most significant pop culture events of the year, Travis Kelce had always held a high regard for the Grammy-winning artist.
Back in August 2023, it was teammate disclosure via a TikTok video shared by the Chiefs that hinted at the star tight end’s hidden romance with Taylor. Only later, looking back, we realized this was the time they had been secretly dating.
Prior to Travis having a chance to disclose his celebrity crush, it turned out that Marquez Valdes-Scantling, the wide receiver, blurted out, “Taylor Swift!” as his answer.
Travis smiled at the camera before holding his finger up to his mustache, saying, “Alright now!”
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that Travis was part of the numerous stars who graced Taylor’s unprecedented Eras Tour, an event he attended before his romantic involvement with her became public knowledge. However, let us delve deeper into that captivating episode shortly.
Though there’s a dreamy glint in his eyes, particularly when he watches Taylor during her performances at his games, Travis tends to stand apart when examining Taylor’s romantic past.
She usually finds herself drawn to individuals who exhibit creativity, such as actors like Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, and Tom Hiddleston, as well as musicians including Calvin Harris, John Mayer, Harry Styles, and more recently, Matty Healy.
However, perhaps the reason Taylor finds her two-year romance with the humorous and athletic individual, who secured a $34.25 million contract extension with the Chiefs in 2024, so invigorating is due to her prior six-year private relationship with Joe ending in April 2023.
It seems my relentless fervor and unwavering belief have proven to be a self-fulfilling prophecy! The 10-time Pro Bowler’s dreams appear to have been granted as he and the superstar, whom I adored from afar, seem to have kindled a romance. With every ounce of will, determination, and ardor I could muster, I declared my love for them both – and lo and behold, it appears they found each other!
On July 7, 2023, during the Kansas City stop of Taylor’s Eras Tour, Travis made his unsuccessful attempt to approach Taylor known to everyone. He had prepared a unique gesture for her – a friendship bracelet with his personal number (either his jersey number or phone number) engraved on it, which he hoped she would accept. However, it remained unclear whether he was referring to his sports team’s jersey number or his phone number.
Although he had expressed disappointment about missing Taylor after the concert, it wasn’t until December 2023 that TIME confirmed Taylor had eventually received an invitation to his podcast.
As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but fondly reminisce about the time Travis publicly acknowledged me on his podcast – an experience that felt nothing short of electrifying! It was like hitting the jackpot! And you know what happened next? We started spending quality time together, away from the public eye. Looking back, I’m incredibly thankful for those secret moments, as they allowed us to truly connect and get to know each other on a deeper level.
In other words, as Taylor explained to TIME, it was never their intention to make the September 24th game their first formal outing, as it could have appeared. Instead, they wouldn’t act so rashly as to start dating in such an official manner right away.
Ever since she’s been with Travis, Taylor Swift seems to be making more public appearances. This includes socializing with friends in New York City and lighting up events such as the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and the 2024 Grammy Awards.
However, the event that garnered the most discussion about her? It was when she sat in Travis’ suite during the September 24, 2023 home game between the San Francisco 49ers (Chief’s alias) and the Chicago Bears.
Instead of avoiding the spotlight, Taylor enthusiastically shouted “Come on, let’s do this!” when Travis scored a touchdown. Just like everyone else, even Travis was surprised that Taylor agreed to his invitation.
On a recent episode of his “New Heights” podcast, Travis expressed appreciation for Taylor, saying she showed a lot of courage by showing up. He added that he was impressed by the fact that everyone in the suite only had positive comments about her, her friends, and family.
“She looked amazing,” he added. ” It was definitely a game I will remember, that’s for damn sure.”
After that, Taylor and Travis have frequently been spotted together at various locations worldwide, holding hands on their dates. They’ve also paid several trips to a festive bar in Kansas City, openly expressing affection towards each other.
Following an interview with TIME where she admitted stepping away from the limelight after Kim Kardashian’s leaked phone conversation in 2016, Taylor Swift is out and about tonight – and every night, if she pleases.
In my own words, I’d express it as follows: “Life moves swiftly, so seize the day with adventures! I’ve spent far too much time in solitude over the past few years, a time that I can never regain. I’m learning to be more open and trusting than I was half a decade ago.
Travis won’t shy away from discussing his past encounters with Taylor on his September 27, 2023 podcast, but he made it clear that he intends to respect his personal boundaries when it comes to future discussions.
He acknowledged that he drew a lot of attention to himself,” he said. “I made friendship bracelets for everyone and shared my disappointment about not meeting Taylor. But,” he added, “I had no intention of providing a detailed account of our relationship.
He clarified that his life is personal and he values both their privacy. He also shared that he had a great time over the weekend. Moving forward, he plans to discuss sports and use phrases like ‘alright nah’, but within certain boundaries.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal in November 2023, he strongly reaffirmed his intent to maintain a calm demeanor.
Everyone around me is advising me not to mess up. And here I am, acknowledging their concerns. For me, the most important aspect was ensuring I didn’t say anything that might drive Taylor away when speaking with the media.
However, just because he hasn’t held back from discussing his girlfriend publicly doesn’t imply that he’s managed to refrain from doing so. He has openly acknowledged her contributions, such as praising her for the increase in sales of his jersey and referring to her as “remarkable” following an incident where she was jeered by New England Patriots fans at a game in December 2023.
He confessed to the Wall Street Journal that he isn’t one for eloquent speech. Being near Taylor, who demonstrates remarkable intelligence, leaves him astonished and learning something new each day.
Similar to Taylor, who has a strong bond with her mother Andrea, Travis comes from a close-knit family, comprising his parents Ed and Donna Kelce.
In a notable turn of events, Donna gained widespread affection as the unique mother whose sons squared off against each other for the first time in a Super Bowl. This historic moment unfolded when Travis took on his elder brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, during the championship game in February 2023.
Donna expressed to _ET_ that it was as if a lifetime of dreams were being fulfilled, a surreal moment of joy for the family. She explained that it was extraordinary for both siblings to have played in the Pro Bowl, made it to the Super Bowl, succeeded through high school and college, and eventually reached the pinnacle of their professional careers, all aligning together in one remarkable sequence of events.
As a lifestyle advisor, I’d rephrase it this way: For 25 years, I (Donna) stood by my husband, Ed, until we parted ways. Post our divorce, I found a unique way to show support for both of my boys. I sport a striking half-black, half-red jacket, proudly emblazoned with the symbols of their favorite teams – the Eagles and the Chiefs.
Following the thrilling Super Bowl where the Chiefs triumphantly defeated the Eagles, I found myself getting quite emotional as I reminisced about the unforgettable journey we shared with Donna.
According to Jason, he became quite emotional when he first laid eyes on his mother. He expressed this during an episode of their podcast, “New Heights”. He went on to say that seeing her felt like she was at the pinnacle of happiness for a full week.
Travis said, “She was the undisputed champion in her field.” He continued, “She excelled consistently and always stood out.
Similarly to how Taylor and her younger sibling, Austin Swift, share a unique bond, Travis also has a strong relationship with his elder brother, Jason, who motivated him to pursue football.
Beyond their successful NFL careers, Travis and Jason started the “New Heights” podcast in September 2022. This endeavor not only enhanced their bond but also added to their financial resources.
This rule established a specific time slot of approximately two to three hours per week where we need to communicate with each other, discussing our experiences and feelings during the week and the games. It’s almost become therapeutic for us, as if we’re undergoing therapy together. (Travis, February 2023, NBC Sports)
Indeed, they didn’t physically encounter each other until 2023, yet unseen connections have always linked them somehow.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I must share an intriguing connection I’ve come across – Miles Teller and his lovely wife Keleigh Sperry, who are personal friends of mine, Taylor and Travis, were graciously invited to join forces for a remarkable project. In 2021, they lent their charisma to star in the music video for “I Bet You Think About Me,” from Taylor’s re-imagined album, Red (Taylor’s Version). What a thrilling collaboration it was!
Travis teamed up with Miles and NFL player Patrick Mahomes for a round of golf, preparing for the American Century Championship in 2022.
Miles shared a picture of us all on the golf course, captioning it, “Time to swing hard!” Travis showed that our friendship is genuine as he re-shared the post, saying, “Just like old times again!
Since Miles is a dedicated fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, maybe he used his connections to arrange a face-to-face meeting between Travis and Taylor?
On September 24, 2023, Taylor went to the game all by herself. However, when she visited the Chiefs versus New York Jets game at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey on October 1, she was accompanied by a group of famous friends.
She was joined by her BFFs Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman, along with Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski from Queer Eye.
Instead of stating that “their attendance at the game spoke volumes,” we could say that “their presence at the game was quite significant.” As for the second part, instead of saying “Ryan following Travis on Instagram,” we could rephrase it as “Ryan chose to follow Travis on social media.” This way, we’ve paraphrased the original sentences while maintaining their meaning in a more natural and easy-to-understand manner.
Besides triumphing in four Super Bowls, capturing victories in three of them (No Big Deal!), Travis has additionally showcased his ability to manage high-pressure situations by hosting Saturday Night Live.
It might appear insignificant, but Taylor Swift has written numerous songs expressing her concern that her high-profile life might overwhelm her romantic partners, as suggested by her songs “Peace” and “The Archer.
According to Taylor, the situation varies based on who you’re with. If they have an issue with it, then you might find yourself hiding, but Taylor doesn’t prefer that since it makes them feel like they’re evading authority or something. They don’t want to feel like a fugitive, as if they should keep their relationship hidden away.
“I feel like if you can be in a relationship and have it seem normal, that would be good.”
In my perspective as a lifestyle expert, I must admit that Travis’ response during his WSJ interview truly showcased his readiness to handle the pressure associated with marrying a powerhouse like Taylor. He seems to have embraced and thrived under the spotlight, which is commendable.
He stated that he’s never encountered someone radiating such an aura before, and has no prior experience dealing with it. However, he also emphasized that this doesn’t mean he’s avoiding the situation.
He remarked, “The constant attention she receives is akin to being examined under a microscope daily. Paparazzi lurk outside her home, every restaurant she visits, and after each flight she disembarks – it’s relentless. Yet, she’s simply trying to live and have fun.” In such situations, he continued, “I wouldn’t want to appear the odd one out.
Demonstrating a romance worthy of a romantic comedy, fans were left gushing when a concertgoer recorded footage of Taylor rushing into Travis’ arms and sharing an emotional kiss following their performance in Argentina in November 2023. This heartfelt moment came after Taylor unexpectedly altered the lyrics to “Karma” from “the guy on the screen” to “the guy on the Chiefs,” catching Travis off guard, as he attended the concert accompanied by her father, Scott Swift.
As a devoted fan, I made it a priority to join Travis at 13 Kansas City Chiefs games during our initial season, even going so far as to travel directly from my Tokyo performance to attend the Super Bowl. This dedication underscores just how deeply committed we are to each other.
Taylor shared with TIME their open support for one another, stating, “I’m looking forward to watching him pursue his passions, and we’re there for each other. There will be others present, but we don’t let that bother us.” This stands in contrast to keeping a relationship hidden, requiring an excessive effort to ensure privacy. Instead, they take pride in each other.
If her attendance at NFL games bothers you, rest assured that Taylor doesn’t hold a grudge against you strongly enough to care.
There’s a camera located about half a mile from here, but its exact position is unknown to me. Furthermore, I don’t know when or how often I might be appearing on the broadcast. As a result, I can’t say for sure if I’ve been shown 17 times or just once. I’m here solely to support Travis, and I have no intention of drawing unwanted attention or upsetting any ‘dads, Brads, or Chads’ with excessive screen time.
Travis was born in—are you ready for it?—1989. Screaming, crying, throwing up, etc.
Regarding Killa Trav’s birthday on October 5th, here’s an interesting tidbit – it’s also the birthday of Taylor Swift’s late grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, whose life was portrayed in her song “Marjorie” from the album ‘evermore’ (2020). It seems like they were born to share a special day! Makes you wonder if this is some sort of cosmic connection…
She’s loved him three summers now, honey, and she’s going to get ’em all.
