Breaking News: Kayla Nicole Responds to Online ‘Vitriol’ Over Misconstrued Post amid Taylor Swift’s New Album Release

The backlash against Nicole, 33, started when the model (who dated Travis Kelce on and off for five years before his romance with Swift, 34) posted about feeling overwhelmed by all of the new music releases in the last month.

“There’s just no way I can fully digest all these new albums. I’m still on ‘Cowboy Carter,’ ” Nicole wrote in a post on X on April 18, in reference to Beyoncé’s recent Cowboy Carter album and just hours before Swift released her new album, The Tortured Poets Department.

Several of the replies to Nicole’s post assumed she was talking about Swift, and the tone of the responses were less than friendly. “Taylor doesn’t need your streams,” one user wrote

And you just happen to tweet about new albums on April 18th when you know very well what’s dropping tomorrow,” another account replied, referring to Swift’s April 19 release.

“Kayla has a right to her opinion on her music taste..but to think she isn’t subtly dissing TS and her album is ludicrous. Could you not have just said how much you like Cowboy Carter,” an additional user suggested.

After she replied to the post, Nicole spoke out in a follow-up tweet on her timeline.

“I’m unproblematic. Mind my business. Never respond to the constant vitriol. Solid as they come & don’t expect a pat on the back for it either,” Nicole wrote. “Just know everyone has a breaking point & would love for ‘yall’ (because you know exactly who you are) to leave me alone.”
