Did Taylor Swift Just Slam Travis Kelce’s Ex on Her Newest Album? Here’s What She Sang

Fans debate whether Taylor Swift’s song 'Opalite' subtly targets Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole amid the artist’s reflection on past relationships.

  • On October 3, Taylor Swift released The Life of a Showgirl, and fans quickly speculated the third track, "Opalite," contains a jab at Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend.
  • Using a gemstone metaphor, Taylor Swift framed opalite, described as a man-made opal, as linked to Travis Kelce's birthstone and said some lyrics reflect her mental state or a song's character.
  • Fans matched the lyric to a throwback clip where Travis Kelce asked Kayla Nicole to get off her phone, and she was seen dancing at the Rams‑49ers game hours before speculation grew.
  • Fans on X immediately reacted by celebrating the perceived diss while Kayla Nicole, sports broadcaster who pleaded for fans to stop targeting her in April 2024, described emotional fallout.
  • Swift's record continues a pattern in which multiple songs on The Life of a Showgirl reference public figures amid Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement announced in August.
