Kayla Nicole makes bold statement with Beyoncé concert photos, steps out of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift spotlight

Kayla Nicole is making it clear: she is not letting her past define her future. The sports broadcaster and influencer, often linked in headlines to her ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce and his new relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift , has been making bold moves to reclaim her space in the public eye—on her own terms.

No longer “just an ex”: Kayla Nicole steps into her own spotlight
Earlier this month, Kayla Nicole stunned fans with a stylish appearance at Beyoncé’s "Renaissance" tour at SoFi Stadium . Sporting a denim mini skirt, a crisp white shirt, black cowgirl boots and hat, and vibrant turquoise jewelry, she posted photos two weeks later with a caption that spoke volumes: three horse emojis—a quiet but firm nod to her independence and strength.

Despite the persistent headlines tying her to Kelce and Swift, Nicole has been vocal about carving out her own identity. In a candid interview on the podcast Second Wind, she expressed frustration with the way media cherry-pick soundbites to fuel tabloid narratives.

“You sit down and you do an hour-long interview with someone and the headline is maybe a one sentence that you said of, 'Yeah, I was heartbroken and devastated because I went through a breakup and that's the headline,’” she said. “Like, 'So-and-so's ex is devastated still and she's sad and she's depressed.' It's like, 'Damn, girl, did you listen to anything?’”

Her response reflects a broader mission: to move beyond the title of "someone’s ex" and establish herself as a voice of authenticity. “One day they're going to have to stop calling me someone's ex,” she asserted.

Far from fading into the background, Nicole has been expanding her portfolio. She hosts her own podcast, Pre-Game, where she engages in real, pre-game-style conversations with notable guests. She's also the founder of Tribe Therepe, a wellness brand that merges fitness with mental health awareness—a venture that shows her commitment to holistic empowerment.
