NFL Slammed for Posting Video of Travis Kelce and His Ex Kayla Nicole: ‘Messy’
Over the past few months, the NFL has shown themselves a major supporter of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his new girlfriend Taylor Swift’s relationship, but now, they’re taking a walk down memory lane.
In a new social media clip shared by NFLonFOX via TikTok on Monday, Feb. 19, the sports organization highlighted the tight end’s recent Super Bowl victory by taking a look at each year he and his team have won.
The snippet displayed footage from 2020, 2023, and this year, with the video from his very first win featuring his ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, as she can be seen jumping in excitement for her then-beau as they embraced, sharing hugs and kisses on the field in celebration of the big moment.
Last year, Travis’ brotherly moment with Jason Kelce took the spotlight, while of course, 2024’s clip was of Swift and the three-time Super Bowl champ’s affectionate post-game link-up.
“Three Super Bowl hugs for Travis Kelce ❤️ #nfl #superbowl #chiefs #traviskelce #taylorswift #jasonkelce,” the clip was captioned.
Needless to say, Swifties seemed to have a major problem with the NFL putting the Catching Kelce alum’s former five-year relationship on full display, promptly taking to the comment section to call the upload “messy.”
“Nowwww why yall being messy 😭😭😭😭,” one top-liked comment inquired, while another asked, “who on y’all’s media team cleared this??”
A third noticed, “YALL TAGGED TRAVIS AND TAYLOR IN THIS,” while someone else pointed out that the video was set to the tune of Swift’s “Red (Taylor’s Version)”: “And Taylor’s song wow.”
Several more said it was a “bold” move, with others calling it “wild” and “crazy.”
Meanwhile, one TikTok user diverted attention away from who was featured alongside the pro athlete during each of his celebrations, instead focusing on the fact that “he’s lucky to have been supported by wonderful people.” They further added, “So much negativity and hate for nothing. As far as we all know these are good people during a time and season of life❤️,” and we couldn’t agree more!
