The sports journalist, who famously dated the Kansas City Chiefs tight end f rom 2017 to 2022, has been suspected of responding to lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “Opalite,” off her new album The Life of a Showgirl — which fans believe references Kelce’s dating history.

Taylor Swift dropped her new album The Life of a Showgirl on Friday, and one track—“Opalite”—is already stirring headlines. Swifties think the lyrics throw shade at Travis Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole. But Nicole didn’t sit back. Instead, she hit Instagram with a subtle, pointed clapback that made her stance clear: she’s not here to compete.

While opalite is an artificial product, it’s made to look like opal, which is Kelce's birthstone. Opal symbolizes clarity, new beginnings, healing, and emotional equilibrium. It has a shimmery, iridescent quality, like some pearls.

Taylor Swift’s new song “Opalite” is sparking backlash from fans who say it takes aim at Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole.
