Kayla Nicole’s Toni Braxton Halloween Tribute Draws Shade Readings Toward Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

The viral reel is widely read as a new entry in a lyric‑driven back‑and‑forth tied to her past with the NFL star.

Overview

  • On Oct. 31, Nicole posted an Instagram reel recreating Toni Braxton’s 2000 He Wasn’t Man Enough music video in a high‑production homage.
  • In the clip, she mouths lyrics including “Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?” and “He wasn’t man enough for me.”
  • Her caption praised Braxton—“She’s an icon. She’s a legend”—and tagged the post #Halloween25.
  • Comments across Instagram and X interpreted the performance as a dig at ex Travis Kelce and his fiancée Taylor Swift, following fan speculation around Swift’s recent song Opalite.
  • Reports highlighted large engagement on the post and noted that neither Kelce nor Swift had publicly responded as of the latest coverage.
