Kayla Nicole, a sports broadcaster and former girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, crashed the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX victory celebration in a surprise appearance. As the Eagles celebrated their victory over the Chiefs with a dominant 40-22 win at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Nicole joined the post-game party, sending social media into a frenzy.
Nicole, who dated Kelce from 2017 to 2022, took to Instagram to share videos of the celebration. One video that was especially well-liked showed her tossing confetti while Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, Not Like Us, played in the background. Her caption of the video, “They said there’s room on the wagon y’all,” also added to the fans’ speculation. Though many viewed it as a subtle diss to Kelce, others defended her right to celebrate however she wanted.
Her presence at the Eagles’ title party was a surprise, given her past loyalty to the Chiefs and her past pronouncements of believing in the team’s bid for a historic three-peat. Although she was previously a supporter of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, her switch in allegiance saw her being accused of bandwagoning. She was defended by her followers, who stated she was simply living in the moment regardless of her past allegiances.
The internet wasted no time reacting to Nicole’s Super Bowl gig. Some fans cheered her on for moving on confidently and enjoying her life, while others questioned her intentions. Her confetti tossing video went viral, and it received mixed reactions.
“She’s out here living her best life. Let her be!” tweeted a user on X (formerly Twitter). To this, another responded, “Not her celebrating the Eagles’ win against her ex’s team. “That’s wild.” Nicole’s relationship with Kelce has remained a topic of interest, particularly after Kelce’s highly publicized romance with global pop sensation Taylor Swift. Nicole was under intense scrutiny from Swift’s devoted fan base, the Swifties, when the relationship became public. She responded with an open letter regarding the criticism and cyberbullying she faced, pointing out that she would prefer to move on from the past.
Although she has mostly avoided public feuds, Nicole has been candid about the challenge of navigating the aftermath of her breakup with Kelce. She has conceded that, despite the drama, she is determined to move forward with her personal and professional growth.
Though her past relationship with Kelce is prone to making the news, Nicole has built a career in sports media. She is a successful sports broadcaster and influencer who is currently a host on I’m Athlete Daily on Revolt TV. She has carved out a definite identity beyond her relationship with Kelce through her work, often covering major sporting events and providing commentary on sports culture.
Her ability to stay relevant in the sports and entertainment industry speaks volumes about her resilience. Rather than be identified by her past relationships, Nicole continues to solidify her position as a top media personality.
