"Travis Kelce is benefiting more marrying Taylor Swift": Fans pick sides as Kayla Nicole gets pulled into buzz around power couple's engagement

Travis Kelce announced his engagement to Taylor Swift in a joint Instagram post on August 26, which drew over 23 million likes. However, the news also reignited fan chatter about Kelce’s past relationship with Kayla Nicole.

In response to the engagement post, fans argued that Kelce gains the most from the high-profile union with Swift rather than with Nicole.

“He’s benefiting more marrying her unfortunately and that’s one of the reasons…but fortunate for him she’s a multi billionaire,” one fan wrote over Kelce-Swift engagement.

@spicebae_ He’s benefiting more marrying her unfortunately and that’s one of the reasons…but fortunate for him she’s a multi billionaire. I seen a post that also said he’s looking to get into entertainment business after he retires the NFL and what better person than her

Others drew comparisons between Nicole and Swift’s own past relationships.

"And it happened to Taylor, too. Her and Kayla made the same nistake but with different men. She was with her ex before Travis for six years and publicly noted she wasted too much of her youth on that man who refused to commit to her. A leason for us all," wrote one fan.

“Kayla was the person who build her man for another woman, and I hope she also have a wonderful relationship now,” one post read.

Another X user criticized, asking, “Why is Kayla’s name even being mentioned? ‘Those’ people literally just started leaving her alone.”

Kelce and Swift started dating in 2023, and the "Love Story" singer has been to several Chiefs matches at the Arrowhead Stadium and on road games. Seeing Swift cheer for her fiancé as Kelce probably dons the Chiefs jersey for one final season will be exciting.
