Kayla Nicole has a joyful view of the future.
As an utterly thrilled fan bursting with excitement, I couldn’t help but share moments after hearing the amazing news of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s engagement, when I stumbled upon a profound clip featuring the radiant Tracee Ellis Ross talking about her feelings of pure joy.
As I perused through the pages of a thought-provoking book titled “Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn’t Enough” years ago, its teachings have remained deeply ingrained in my personal philosophy ever since. Emulating this wisdom is a constant goal for me, and as I continue on my journey, I find it to be incredibly beneficial. #InspiredAndGrowing
In the video posted by @offthecuff, the actress from Black-ish expresses her deep appreciation for the notion of happiness and its significance in her personal journey.
Tracee begins by stating, “I put effort into this.” She then articulates her understanding of joy being distinct from happiness. In her view, happiness can be easily obtained, such as buying something at a convenience store like 7/11. On the other hand, joy is something that requires dedication and practice to achieve; it’s not merely something you grab on-the-go.
She goes on to express that joy seems to have the ability to move (like it has legs), but also roots itself deeply within her. She believes joy doesn’t just make for a good day, but creates space and allows room for more than that. To her, joy is an outlook, a way of seeing things, and a lens through which she experiences and views life.
Previously, Kayla disclosed the effect on her personally due to her public breakup with Travis before he started dating Taylor.
Speaking openly, the process of going through a public split has been incredibly intense for me,” she said on ‘Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test’ in January. “Nothing I’ve encountered before has compared to this.
The 33-year-old described the ‘social media battlefield’ she’s been dealing with due to her past relationship as relentless and draining,” she stated. “Even posting something simple, like commenting on the blue sky, can lead to comments about an ex and their latest circumstances. Unintentionally, it has caused me to question my personal worth.
Kayla pointed out that it’s not straightforward for her to always be compared to Taylor Swift by the media and fans, she finds it challenging.
The Pre-Game host expressed, as they fought back tears, “I believe the comparison is repeating itself, and I’m struggling to find a way to handle it.
Despite the challenging circumstances she’s facing, the sports reporter pointed out that there’s no animosity between her and Taylor.
“I really like, like, her,” Kayla said of the “Blank Space” singer. “I think she’s very talented.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romantic journey commenced in July 2023, during her Eras Tour, which happened to have a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
As an ardent fan, often identified as a Swiftie, I eagerly anticipated attending Taylor Swift’s concert, hoping to gift my idol, Taylor, a friendship bracelet adorned with my number. Unfortunately, during the show, my excitement and nerves got the better of me, causing me to miss an opportunity to pass her the bracelet due to her pre-show rituals.
Travis expressed his disappointment during the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast, stating that she doesn’t speak before or after her shows to conserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings. As a result, he was somewhat disappointed because he didn’t get the chance to give her one of the bracelets he had made for her.
Following a mistake he openly shared, which Travis himself called “as hard as steel,” he mustered up courage and extended an invitation to the Grammy winner for watching the Chiefs’ game at Arrowhead Stadium.
He expressed on The Pat McAfee Show that he had made an invitation, similar to tossing a ball into someone’s court. He told her, “I’ve noticed your energetic performances at Arrowhead; maybe you should come witness my performance there and decide who puts on a more exciting show.” So, we’ll have to wait and see what transpires in the upcoming days.
During their initial meeting, Travis already sported a mustache that he had grown since August, while training camp was ongoing.
In his reflections on that period, he mentioned, “For a while, his mustache and the number 87 jersey were quite iconic, and I wore them when I first met Taylor.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that statement for you as follows: By early September, I’ve learned from a reliable source that Travis and Taylor have been maintaining a casual connection, exchanging occasional texts and calls.
“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”
Upon receiving an invitation from Travis, Taylor went to Arrowhead Stadium to be with Donna Kelce, the athlete’s mom, to watch him play with the Chiefs against the Chicago Bears. Post-match, Taylor and Travis were spotted showing affection publicly at a nearby bar.
It was initially believed that they met for the first time face-to-face, but later, the singer of “Karma” made it clear that they had actually spent quite a bit of time together prior to their in-person encounter.
As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
To show that things were getting more serious, Taylor invited her group which consisted of friends like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski to a Chiefs game versus the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
It’s worth noting that one indication suggesting Travis might be “The 1” is Taylor’s growing relationship with Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Travis’ close friend and fellow football player Patrick Mahomes, both on and off the NFL field.
On October 14th, the pair unexpectedly debuted their relationship on an episode of Saturday Night Live. This New York City adventure also encompassed the post-show gathering for the NBC comedy series and a romantic evening spent at the Waverly Inn.
During his team’s bye week, Travis took a trip to Argentina to attend the South American leg of Taylor’s Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL player get to know Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, at the concert in Buenos Aires on November 11th, but he also received a special acknowledgement from the stage.
“Karma is that guy on the Chiefs,” Taylor sang, “coming straight home to me.”
Following the performance, the artist of “Midnights” was spotted rushing towards Travis in the backstage area and enthusiastically planting a heartfelt kiss on him.
Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.
As a die-hard admirer, I can’t wait to witness him living his passion! We’re there for each other, and while others might be present, we don’t let it bother us in the least. On the flip side, some folks go to great lengths to keep their attendance a secret when watching someone they adore.
On December 17, the music superstar transformed Travis’ game into a family event by inviting her father to cheer for her partner.
On New Year’s Eve for the very first time, Taylor and Travis celebrated the occasion side by side, exchanging a tender kiss as the clock counted down to January 1st at midnight.
Taylor continued deepening her connection with Travis’ family as she joined his brother, Jason Kelce, and his sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, during the Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Taylor made it onto the football field alongside Travis as the Chiefs clinched the AFC Championship, a triumph ensuring their berth in the 2024 Super Bowl. Following the jubilant win, the pair locked lips in a celebratory moment and affectionately exchanged “I love you.
“Tay, I’m gonna enjoy with the guys,” he told her. “I love you—so much it’s not funny.”
On February 11, 2024, following Travis’s leadership that secured a win for the Kansas City Chiefs on the field in Las Vegas, the duo shared a kiss.
On February 12th, Taylor shared videos of Travis on social media for the very first time, playfully teasing about their post-Super Bowl night out, where she introduced her parents to clubbing with him.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “I was thrilled to share my first Instagram post alongside Travis, an unforgettable moment indeed! We were fortunate enough to snap a selfie with Prince William and his remarkable family – George and Charlotte – backstage at our Eras tour show at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London.
At his seventh Eras tour concert in London’s Wembley Stadium, the NFL player made an appearance on stage to support his girlfriend while she performed “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”.
During the first game of the 2024-25 NBA season for the Chief’s team, Taylor was seen alongside Travis. This photo, shared by Chariah Gordon, seems to depict a public display of affection (PDA) reminiscent of an event that took place in October 2023. Interestingly, Chariah Gordon’s boyfriend is none other than Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman.
They were present at the wedding of Karen Elson, who tied the knot with Lee Foster, the proprietor of Electric Lady Studios, held in New York City.
The next day, the pair attended the men’s singles final match at the U.S. Open.
The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.
Over the final weekend of 2024, the duo enjoyed a series of consecutive outings in New York City, wearing identical ensembles on each occasion.
During the break from the NFL, the duo spent their time together, having an enjoyable winter getaway in Montana, accompanied by sports broadcaster Erin Andrews.
In the month of July 2025, Travis shared his initial photos with Taylor on Instagram, featuring a charming snapshot of them during dinner. This image discretely hinted at their phone screensavers showcasing each other’s faces.
Taylor, self-proclaimed enthusiast of New Heights, appeared for the first time on Travis and Jason’s podcast in an extended episode dated August 13. During this nearly two-hour discussion, she provided intimate insights into her life, both in and beyond the public eye. Furthermore, she announced the upcoming release of her 12th studio album titled “The Life of a Showgirl”, scheduled for October 3.
Nearly three years since Travis’ renowned podcast mention, Travis and Taylor have officially announced their engagement. In a playful nod to her song “So High School,” they humorously captioned their August 26th Instagram post showcasing their engagement photos: “Your high school English teacher and gym teacher are tying the knot.
