"Feel like harassment": Kayla Nicole denies taking a shot at Taylor Swift with Halloween costume, internet calls her bluff

Kayla Nicole has just confessed what everyone knew: it was Taylor all along. After her Halloween costume and video went viral this weekend, the model and influencer admitted that behind all her efforts was a Taylor—but not the one everyone assumed. The revelation came after a weekend filled with online debates, Swiftie reactions, and speculation linking her video to her ex-boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, and his fiancée, global superstar Taylor Swift.Hours before Halloween, Nicole captivated her Instagram followers with a striking recreation of Toni Braxton’s iconic music video, “He Wasn’t Man Enough.” The production was polished, bold, and instantly controversial. Many viewers believed the post was a subtle jab at Kelce and Swift’s relationship. The lyrics—“Don’t you know that he was my man? / But I chose to let him go”—only fueled the fire. To the public, it seemed like a deliberate message aimed at the high-profile couple.

Nicole decided to set the record straight during a recent episode of her Pre-Game podcast. “I had a white best friend. Her name was Taylor,” she said. “She had the only house I could go over to as a kid because my mom didn’t play those types of games.”

She went on to describe a vivid memory from childhood: “I specifically remember driving home from private school in my uniform in the back of a paddy wagon with Taylor, and her mom was playing this song.”

That, Nicole said, was the moment she realized, “Wow, white people listen to Black people’s music as well.”However, not everyone was convinced. The internet reacted swiftly, with many questioning whether Nicole’s explanation was genuine. One user commented, “Like, even if it’s true, some things are just better left unsaid, because it’s starting to feel like harassment.” Another wrote, “Even if she did have a friend named Taylor, that little anecdote had no relevance to anything.”Despite the backlash, Nicole received a surprising nod of approval from Toni Braxton herself, who praised the Halloween tribute. Still, the controversy overshadowed what could have been a pure creative homage.In the age of viral speculation, Nicole’s every move remains under a microscope—especially with Kelce and Swift’s relationship dominating pop culture headlines. Her Halloween post may have been inspired by nostalgia, but it reminded the world that in celebrity life, intention often takes a backseat to perception.More coverage on NFL:Why is Kirk Herbstreit trending after Tom Brady revealed he cloned his beloved dog?Russell Wilson melts hearts sharing cozy family moment with Ciara and kids during Giants film study cuddle session
