Taylor Swift fans are dragging Kayla Nicole after she liked a post involving her ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce. And no, they didn’t break up last week. They broke up four years ago. Four whole years. That’s practically a lifetime in internet time.
So what was the post? It wasn’t romantic, it wasn’t shady, and it wasn’t even about Taylor Swift. The post was about Travis Kelce funding a Milan trip for Olympian Laila Edwards and her family. A generous move, a feel-good story. The kind of thing people usually clap for.
Kayla Nicole clicked “like” and the Swifties heard war drums.
Suddenly, timelines were on fire. Comment sections turned into courtrooms and Kayla was accused of everything from “clout chasing” to “still being obsessed.” All because of one tiny digital thumb.
The Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole podcast host reportedly liked a post by Bleacher Report, which announced the inspiring story of the Kelce brothers helping out Laila Edwards by financing her debut at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. The caption of the post in question read, “Two great guys that went out of their way when they didn’t have to [goat emoji]. Travis and Jason Kelce stepped up and helped fund Laila Edwards’ family trip to Milan for her Olympic debut [American flag].”
A screenshot by one user, which has since gone viral, showed that Nicole had liked this particular post from her verified Instagram account.
And this is how a fan of Swift blasted Kayla Nicole for just liking a post about Travis Kelce.
“KN really dislikes not being talked about. So she seeks attention via social media.” Another user wrote, “Why are you bringing this up in the timeline? She’s looking for clout and attention, and you guys keep giving it to her!!”
This is peak internet behavior. Take something harmless, add emotion, sprinkle parasocial energy and then yell loudly.
Kayla Nicole didn’t subtweet, she didn’t comment, she didn’t tag anyone, she didn’t say a word. She just tapped a screen and for that, she was treated like she committed a crime against pop culture.
At the end of the day, this says more about fan culture than it does about Kayla. Breakups end, lives move on and likes happen.
