Fans slam Travis Kelce’s ‘petty’ ex Kayla Nicole for bizarre Caitlin Clark snub after she sat with Taylor Swift

Eagle-eyed fans have accused Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole of unfollowing Caitlin Clark after the WNBA star’s viral encounter with Taylor Swift at the weekend.

Clark sent the internet wild on Saturday night when she joined Swift in her VIP Arrowhead suite for the Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff clash with the Houston Texans.

The pair were captured sitting together as Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce helped Kansas City claim a precious victory, while they were even seen hugging in celebration at one stage after he scored a touchdown.

Yet after she linked up with Kelce’s famous girlfriend, Clark has been unfollowed on Instagram by the Chiefs tight end’s former partner Nicole, fans have claimed.

On Tuesday, one of Swift’s die-hard followers shared a meme of actress Emilia Clarke laughing on X and wrote: ‘Unfollowing CC [Caitlin Clark] guess those game day pics really bothered her!’

When another user asked who they were referring to, the Swiftie replied: ‘KN [Kayla Nicole] unfollowed Caitlin.’

The post quickly went viral online, with a third fan commenting: ‘She’s bothered to be unbothered seriously! She wants to create a drama again after unfollowing CC.’

‘She ever gonna move on from him lol,’ asked another.

‘Only way to get pub[lic] smh,’ said a fifth.

Another asked: ‘Is Kayla Nicole petty?’

While one wrote sarcastically: ‘I’m sure Caitlin is devastated’.

Nicole, an avid basketball fan who frequently posts about the sport, dated Kelce on and off for five years up before parting in 2022. He went public with Swift in September 2023.

The influencer recently discussed their previous romance on WNBA star Angel Reese’s podcast, while also opening up on the abuse she has received from Swifties over the past year.

She told Reese, who is seen by many as Clark’s arch-rival on the court, back in October: ‘Behind closed doors, the hardest part is losing a partner, a best friend, speaking every day to cutting ties. Then you throw in social media.

‘I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and online chaos didn’t impact me, even to this day. You could go to my most recent posts and people would be debating why I am worthless.

‘It is nothing to do with me. I think there is something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, which is unfortunate because I don’t think I have done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.’

Earlier this week, Nicole admitted she does not want Kelce and the Chiefs to reach a third consecutive Super Bowl this season, despite conceding that it will likely happen.

‘They’ve got the threats, so, as much as I’d love to see somebody else in the Super Bowl, just to see something new, it’s not gonna happen,’ she said on I Am Athlete, while the show was discussing the AFC Championship.

If Kelce and the Chiefs can get past the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, it would be the fifth time they have advanced to the Super Bowl in the past four seasons.
