Nicole Blames Taylor Swift for Latest Ordeal
Nicole has opened up about the difficult aftermath of her breakup with Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce, sharing how his high-profile romance with Taylor Swift has left her feeling isolated.
During a recent appearance on the “Unapologetically Angel” podcast with Angel Reese of the WNBA’s Chicago Sky, Nicole revealed that Swift’s relationship with Kelce has changed her social circle, leading to strained connections with Kansas City’s WAGs who once supported her.
“I think behind closed doors, the hardest part about a breakup is losing your partner, your best friend, and this person you talk to every single day,” Nicole said, explaining the emotional toll.
“I think the combination of everything is the perfect storm to make you want to disappear from the world entirely,” Nicole said, as reported by The Mirror US.
She described how the breakup extended beyond the individual impacts, and her connections with their friends and family had to suffer. Losing those bonds has been a significant challenge for Nicole, who is working toward self-love, especially with Kelce’s new relationship in the spotlight.

Kelce and Nicol’s six-year relationship, which began in 2017, ended in 2022. Since then, Kelce’s romance with Swift has been a sensation, beginning in Sept. 2023. For Nicole, though, this newfound attention has reportedly led to an unexpected loneliness.
She has also faced the wrath of the Swifties every now and then, bringing her more plight than usual. While she has been strong throughout the ordeal, Nicole is making sure to continue to achieve more on her professional front.
