Travis Kelce begs ex Kayla Nicole to ‘get off your phone’ in resurfaced video after Taylor Swift’s ‘Opalite’ diss.NN
The girl Travis Kelce loved before was always “in her phone,” according to Taylor Swift’s savage new lyrics — and fans found proof.
On Friday, an eagle-eyed Swiftie resurfaced a video via X from Kelce’s on-again, off-again romance with Kayla Nicole.
The couple, who were together between 2017 and 2022, bickered during a date night in the throwback footage.
As Nicole filmed selfie-style, a glass of wine in hand, Kelce leaned in to firmly request, “Just drink the wine so we can go.”
The 33-year-old giggled, telling the camera that she “love[d] it here.”
Nicole held the same glass in another video, insisting she wouldn’t have to go on social media “to seek validation from a bunch of strangers on the internet” if “someone sometimes would pay [her] attention.”

Kelce sighed and replied, “Oh, my God. Get off your phone. Get off your phone. … You’re not even drinking your wine anymore, can we go?”
Nicole laughed off the question.
The footage made the rounds on Friday in the wake of Swift seemingly shading Nicole in the third track of her 12th album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
“Opalite,” which is Kelce’s “favorite” off of the project, begins with a verse about Swift’s “past lovers” — before diving into the athlete’s previous relationship.

“You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone,” the Grammy winner sang. “You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.
“And don’t we try to love love?” Swift continued. “We give it all we got / You finally left the table / and what a simple thought / You’re starving ’til you’re not.”
Reps for Kelce, Nicole and Swift did not immediately reply to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Swift gushed about the song on “Capital Breakfast” Friday morning, confirming the title is a link to her fiancé’s opal birthstone.
She did not address any shady lyrics while explaining that the song is about happiness as a “man-made” concept.
Kelce raved over the song after Swift revealed her record as part of her “New Heights” debut in August.
“‘Opalite’ might be my favortie, at least right now,” the athlete told brother Jason Kelce in the subsequent episode. “Every time it comes on, I always catch myself.”
The three-time Super Bowl winner, who proposed to Swift that same month, has yet to react publicly to the songwriter’s album release.
