Travis Kelce and media personality Kayla Nicole were involved in an on-and-off relationship that lasted five years, from 2017 to 2022. Since 2023, though, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has famously been in a relationship with Taylor Swift.
However, Kelce’s new relationship is the cause behind the burning of bridges for Nicole in Kansas City.

During the five years that Kelce and Nicole dated, she had cultivated a relationship with several of the players’ wives and girlfriends. However, with Swift being a continuous presence at Arrowhead Stadium, she had to drift apart.
As per Marca, a source close to Nicole revealed that she believes she is being “pushed out” of the limelight. She highlighted similar concerns on WNBA star Angel Reese’s podcast last month, for which received a ton of flak.
However, in a recent interview with Radar Online, the sports journalist and influencer has continued on the same trajectory.
“We are not as cool as we once were,” she said of her friends within the Chiefs.

In March 2022, when Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tied the knot with Brittany Mahomes, Nicole was her bridesmaid. However, as soon as Swift stepped into the picture, Nicole and Brittany’s friendship took a back seat.
Last year, Nicole revealed that she had unfollowed the entire Mahomes family from her social media. In an interview with People, she highlighted her reasoning behind making this call.
“The reality is I know these people in real life,” she said. “And so, in real life, I’ve communicated to these people why I’ve had to publicly make the decisions that I made. She (Brittany) knows that I love her.
“But publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That’s really all that is. The love is still there,” she added.
What Is Taylor Swift’s Net Worth?
Swift’s net worth is currently $1.6 billion. This makes her the richest female musician of all time and the 2,117th-richest person in the world.
It’s pretty remarkable how Swift’s net worth has skyrocketed in recent years. In 2020, Swift was estimated to be worth $550 million. Even as recently as the start of 2023, it was projected to be $740 million.
But thanks to a ton of No. 1 albums and the incredibly popular Eras Tour, she is the 15th celebrity to become a billionaire and one of just five musicians to achieve that status, joining Rihanna, Jay Z, Jimmy Buffett, and Bruce Springsteen, according to Bloomberg.

Not only is the Eras Tour bringing in a ton of money in terms of ticket sales and merchandise, it also produced an extremely successful film.
In a press release, AMC Theaters said that “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” brought in over $261.6 million globally, breaking the record for a concert film that was previously held by Michael Jackson’s “This Is It.” The documentary also earned a nomination for the Golden Globes’ new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement prize.
