Overview

• Taylor Swift released The Life of a Showgirl, whose track ‘Opalite’ includes the line, “she was in her phone,” that has drawn widespread interpretation.
• Page Six and other outlets connected the lyric to Kayla Nicole, citing an old video of Travis Kelce urging his then‑girlfriend to get off her phone.
• Within hours of the album’s release, Nicole reshared an America’s Next Top Model clip in which Eva Marcille says she does not compare herself to other girls.
• Nicole also posted a meme reading, “And when God give you ball, BALL,” which fans and tabloids characterized as a response.
• At a release event, Swift described ‘Opalite’ as a metaphor about making your own happiness, and she has not identified any person referenced in the lyric.
