Founded in 2017, Miami Art Week amplifies diverse voices through signature events like Art Basel—the world’s premier series of art fairs bustling with exclusive activations, large-scale installations, informative panels, and unique local programming as a major hub for the global art market.
This week’s thirst trap compilation also features Kayla Nicole delivering heat along with Jayda Cheaves and Karin Jinsui giving what needs to be gave.
There’s also big baddie energy from Kelis, Yasmine Lopez, Vicky Lauren, and more so we invite you to enjoy our latest collection of top-tier thirst traps on the flip.
As promised, we’ve compiled swoon-worthy stunners (and our thirst-trappin’ celebrity faves) with Kayla Nicole making her return to the series after winning Halloween 2025 with her viral homage to Toni Braxton.
In the buzzy video, the professional baddie can be seen recreating the R&B legend’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough” visuals in an epic moment seemingly aimed at Taylor Swift and ex-boo Travis Kelce.
Naturally, the internet erupted over the spicy video that doubled as a long-awaited maybe-response to Tayvis with lyrics that sparked speculation that Kayla fired shots at the Super Bowl champ.
However, her dressing up as Toni and singing that particular song appears to have been one big coincidence based on her recent interview at this year’s star-studded Ebony Power 100 Gala.
“Last year, I did Ciara — ‘Ride.’ Had a little viral moment. This year I did Toni,” she said during a red carpet interview.
“To be honest, that iconic dress, I have a girlfriend, she has a jewelry brand, I have to shout her out, Lace by Tanaya, she made that dress. That is a handmade piece that I wore. So it just worked out perfectly.”
“I had the wardrobe. I knew that song like the back of my hand. I’ve been singing that since 2000. So it just— it made sense.”
There’s also big baddie energy from Raven Loso, Priscilla Donkoh, and more so we invite you to enjoy our latest collection of top-tier thirst traps on the flip.
Kayla Nicole has finally spoken out about her past offensive tweets, which comes a week after she deleted her account on X as her old posts were being recirculated.

The influencer took to her Instagram Stories to address her old posts, apologizing for the “hurtful” nature of the things she said previously.
“I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the hurtful tweets I posted so many years ago,” she began. “Seeing them resurface last week has been incredibly difficult, and reading them now, I’m ashamed that I ever thought or spoke that way. They were ignorant, hurtful and completely wrong.”
Nicole’s resurfaced posts were from 2010 and 2014 and included the use of homophobic slurs, per People, also referring to people from Mexico and India in derogatory ways.
“The woman I am today would never use those words or express those kinds of views,”Kayla continued in her statement. “Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how cruel and harmful online hate can be, and I would never want to add to that world of pain in any form. I have since deleted those tweets and my X account entirely, because I refuse to keep that energy alive or contribute to a cycle of hate.”
She concluded, “I take full responsibility for what I posted, and I’m truly sorry to anyone I may have hurt. My heart, values, and perspective are completely rooted in empathy, love, and respect for others. I can’t change the past, but I will continue showing through my actions who I’ve become and what I stand for today.”
This statement from the Pre-Game podcast host comes after she insisted she was not throwing shots at ex Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift with her Halloween costume.
Nicole went on her podcast to talk about her Toni Braxton outfit and the dance routine she posted on her Instagram last month, which had many people convinced it was a jab at her ex-boyfriend’s fiancée. Kayla went viral for recreating Toni Braxton’s”He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video.
Thinking she was shading the couple known by fans as “Tayvis,” Swift’s fans went online to uncover Kayla’s old tweets, which is how all of the offensive ones ended up resurfacing. Still, the model claimed it was solely a tribute to a legend and wasn’t meant to tear down another woman.
“For me, this moment was about celebrating an icon in my culture,” she said on The Pre-Game. “Someone that I have listened to since I was very, very young — whether it was in the car with my mother, whether it was me in high school stealing my mom’s CDs … playing it in my whip on the way to high school.”
“Shoutout Toni Braxton,” Nicole continued. “You guys, she commented on my post … and I feel like that in itself, I feel like I won Halloween.”
The media personality channeled Toni’s iconic “It Girl” energy from the 2000 R&B hit, and we can’t get enough. It’s one thing to look the part for the day of dress-up, but Kayla came to slay with a recreation of the “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video. She didn’t miss a moment or a step in the classic choreography.
We love Toni’s signature short haircuts, but this long hair throwback deserved some love.
The lyrics in the recreation sparked speculation that Kayla seriously shaded the Super Bowl champ:
“Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?/ I’m not thinking ’bout him, but you married him/ Do you know I made him leave? / Do you know he begged to stay with me?/ He wasn’t man enough for me.”
Oop! Toni waan’t playing wifh fhoss lines!

The title alone lets the chopper sing on lovers of the past, but this song is an unbothered anthem about not needing to spin the block after you’ve already been there, done that.
Some comments slammed the latest costume shenanigans as “corny” and “obsessed,” but Team Kayla comments claim those labels apply the haters than Kayla herself.
Critics claim the Grammy winner fed into the ongoing online harassment with a new lyric rumored to reference Kayla’s relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs star. On “Opalite, Swift sang:
“You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.”
Kayla is no stranger to going viral, and the last time she broke the internet, it was for “Take You Down” debauchery during Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl. Yet again, she did what needed to be done with her boots in the air and stole the steamy scene. Some of her other memorable moments inlcude bodying Ciara’s “Like A Boy” for a previous Halloween.
Most recently, Kayla even gave us the classic scene from Pretty Woman.
While the internet may never dead the debate about a Kelce connsction to every move Kayla Nicole makes, she always gives people something to talk about.
What do you think about Kayla Nicole’s costume? Was it well-deserved shade, doing too much, or unbothered excellence?

Kayla Nicole’s first job out of college was as Harvey Levin’s assistant at TMZ. “A lot of people don’t know this. I was in the studio doing research and filling Harvey’s water,” she tells StyleCaster. “They’ve actually talked about it on the show, which is so funny, because they’ll talk about me, and a girl will be like, ‘Don’t you remember she used to work here?’”
Fast forward more than a decade later, and Nicole has come a long way from her days as the lowest-level staffer at Hollywood’s most notorious tabloid. Since then, she’s launched her own podcast, The Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole—the title of which is a nod to her long career as a broadcast sports journalist for outlets like ESPN and Barstool Sports, reporting everywhere from the sidelines of NFL games to the courtside of NBA matches.

After years in the sports industry (she was also on track to become an Olympic gymnast as a teenager before quitting to go to prom), Nicole also founded her own wellness brand, Tribe Therepē, where she markets her own workout equipment. Since leaving broadcast journalism, Nicole has also found herself back in front of the camera—this time as talent instead of the reporter—appearing as an actress in Peacock’s Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist and as herself on FOX’s reality competition show, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Yet, which she won the third season of. “The way the staff and the DS would scream at you is very similar to how my coach would talk to me in gymnastics,” she says.
But while she’s found success from her own name, Nicole’s transition from interviewer to interviewee hasn’t come without its side effects, as she’s found herself at the center of her own headlines. “It’s so weird. I can’t lie. It has definitely taken some getting used to,” she says. “It’s not an easy transition to make, because a lot of times, when I see the things written about me, to be honest, it comes off really dehumanizing.”
And though Nicole—who graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism from Pepperdine University and spent most of her adult career as a reporter—has an understanding of the articles written about her, she also wishes there could be empathy for the subject of those stories.
“As someone who went to school for journalism and is really passionate about storytelling, it’s conflicting for me, because I know what it’s like to be in that position to feel like you have to write a story and make the headlines and get the engagement,” she says. “But I just wish that my peers, because I still consider other journalists to be my peers, would hold ourselves to a higher standard and remember there’s a human on the other side of these headlines.”
When I see the things written about me, to be honest, it comes off really dehumanizing.
She adds, “I understand what it’s like to be in the world of entertainment and journalism, and someone is trying to do their job. But I just wish we wouldn’t do it at the cost of someone else’s mental health or the expense of someone else’s overall existence in life. I think we’ve normalized sensationalism and clickbait. I wish there were a better way we could all do our jobs.”
But the bad doesn’t outweigh the good. With her newfound fame, Nicole has helped to empower dozens of women in the wellness space and has collaborated with fitness brands like Alo, Fabletics, and Champs. Now, she’s sharing her secrets. Ahead, StyleCaster sat down with Nicole to break down her must-haves in the gym and the essential items she uses to pick herself back up after a bad day.

What are the essential items in your gym bag?
I always have some lip balm in there at some capacity. I’m a lip chap girly. I already look crazy enough in the gym. At the very least, I could probably put on some lip balm. I use Laneige
. I challenge myself to make it to the bottom of the pink pot every time before losing it. I’ve been doing pre-workout these days. I’ve been doing 6 a.m. workouts, and at that ungodly hour, I need something to get me through, especially because the sun isn’t out. It’s dark. It’s cold. I need something to boost me to get me through the workout. Orgain
Sport Energy is the name, and it’s plant-based, which I love. The third thing probably would be my Tribe Therepē Essentials, which has a variety of resistance bands that I’ll use throughout my workouts to elevate the workout if I’m not trying to do heavy weights all the time. Because at this big old age, I can’t lift the weights the way I used to, so having resistance bands can help to give me a more dynamic workout. It’s accessible and it’s not super bulky.

Did you have any go-to products when you were on Special Forces?
I had a tub of Vaseline
. There weren’t mirrors, even if we wanted to bring our skincare kits. But we weren’t allowed to have anything. I didn’t sneak that in there, but I was afraid they weren’t going to let me have that, so I tucked it deep in the backpack. I used it for Chapstick. Also, we were in and out of water so much. My skin is already very naturally dry, so even when we would go to sleep, sometimes at night, I would put it on my hands, on my feet, a little bit on my face. That’ll make you break out, which I was on the show. I actually did also sneak in some edge control because I thought that laying my edges would be important. I don’t think I used that once.
Vaseline Original Healing Jelly
What are your go-to products to wind down after a long day?
Lately, the everything shower. If I’m really exhausted, I will spend two hours in my shower doing anything I possibly can. I love it in there. It has become like a ritual in my reset routine. I love a good exfoliator. I have really dry skin, so I have to exfoliate pretty regularly, and I use a full-body exfoliating scrub. The brand is Kate Somerville
, and it’s called Exfolikate. They actually have a matching face scrub
, and they have also a face exfoliating cream
. I live by that, whether it’s summer, spring, fall. If I’m in a bikini or not, I’m exfoliating on a regular basis. I like to feel like a dolphin at all times.
Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Resurfacing Body Scrub
What are your favorite products to turn your week around if you’ve had a bad day?
I have a four-step body care routine. to me. The base you can use Jergens
or whatever lotion you have on hand. Then I go in with a shea butter cream. The brand is skin BUTTr. It’s actually one of my girlfriend’s brands. It’s super, super thick and really rich, so when you’re using it, you have to literally lather up and massage it into your skin. It’s gonna take you a minute—a little elbow grease—but I love how hydrating it is. For the next step, I use the L’Occitane Supple Skin Oil
. That’s a spray, so it’s easier to apply, not super fragrant, but also very hydrating. It will give you this really pretty glow. The final step is a brand called Kopari. It’s the Sun Shield Body Glow
. That’s the final step. It makes you look like a glazed donut. After I do all of that after a really long day, I look delicious. I can go and sit on my couch in my robe, glowing.
Just seven days after the midnight release of Taylor Swift‘s twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl has inexplicably become her most controversial. But are the lyrics really that offensive? Or is it the listeners who got… weird?
Look, we’re not talking about the intentional spicy lines, like Actually Romantic seemingly igniting a feud with Charli XCX, letting everyone know she might have her more controversial friends’ backs on CANCELLED!, or getting dirtier than she’s ever gotten singing about Travis Kelce‘s Wood. All that we expected. No, these are takes we could never have anticipated because, well… frankly they’re such leaps in logic they defy reason!
Tradwife Propaganda
Listeners are interpreting her desire to get married and have children as… conservative tradwife propaganda. Um… WHAT?!?
Y’all. The patriarchal tradwife thing is not about wanting a husband and kids. It’s actually the opposite! That’s about women being forced into the position of being a full-time wife and baby factory — because they’re seen as the property of men. Taylor saying she wants that stuff for herself is making a choice.
Taylor isn’t being anti-feminist here. She’s just telling everyone what she wants. Which we should all be fine with. LOVE IS LOVE, remember that? It works the other way, too!
Also, let’s not forget, even if Tay retired right now she’d remain one of the most successful humans in their chosen field OF ALL TIME. That’s not what a tradwife is. Tradwives are basically teenagers drafted into marriage like chattel. Taylor looks great, but let’s not forget she’s 35 years old! And richer than her husband-to-be by A LOT. This ain’t that.
Oh, and Tay herself said she’s NOT retiring just because she got married. And in fact she finds that assumption “shockingly offensive” by the way.
Also from WI$H LI$T? Some “fans” somehow pulled the idea Taylor wants to propagate the white race like she’s Elon Musk. Why? Because she sang about wanting to:
“Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you”
See, Trav is a white man, so she clearly is saying she only wants everyone on the block to be white. And voila, the song about not being into modern materialistic desires is actually… promoting eugenics.
You can see a lot more about that theory and the Swifties blasting it HERE. (Oh, and also take a listen toKylie Kelce hilariously explaining why that’s much funnier if you know the Kelces and their frustratingly dominant genes.)
Also, here’s a response we really love from Saints tight end Juwan Johnson and his wife Chanen…
So. Cute. Too bad Juwan is clearly a white supremacist, right? Y’all see how ridiculous you sound now??
Homophobia
In her track Actually Romantic, Tay takes a new tactic on the diss track. She likens someone’s nonstop, compulsive hatred of her to, well… a romantic obsession. She’s basically saying that Charli XCX — or whoever it’s about, more than one person in all likelihood — talking about her all the time doesn’t feel dangerous, it’s harmless. It’s even flattering, like a crush.
But there’s a contingent who are just champing at the bit to call out Taylor for being homophobic, so they say it’s gay panic. They figure since she’s a woman and Charli is a woman, she’s basically calling someone gay as an insult…
Forget the fact Taylor loves the LGBTQ community, was the first pop star to cast a trans actor as a love interest in a music video, and has been vocal politically mostly about this topic.
She doesn’t speak about politics much, but she did tweet in 2021 that she had her “Fingers crossed and praying that the Senate will see trans and lgbtq rights as basic human rights.” In 2018, she also spoke out against the anti-LGBT legislation of Tennessee congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, saying:
“I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.”
You can listen to what she’s explicitly saying about the matter… or you can infer that she secretly means whatever makes her look the worst. One of those choices respects her and gives her agency.
Racism & Misogynoir
Oof, OK, this is a big one.
There’s a theory that Taylor is not only racist but specifically obsessed with Black women — as it relates to the men she dates. Travis Kelce’s most recent longterm relationship before her was with a woman named Kayla Nicole — and critics are pairing that with some lyrics and doing a hop, skip, and a jump to… misogynoir, the hatred of Black women.
(c) MEGA/WENN/Kayla Nicole/Instagram
The pop delight Opalite is pretty clearly about Tay’s new romance with Trav. She sings about why this is relationship feels so right in comparison with past ones. That means, yes, a bit of a swipe at Kayla. Tay sings:
“You couldn’t understand it / Why you felt alone / You were in it for real / She was in her phone / And you were just a pose”
Folks have taken this to be about Kayla not just because she was Trav’s most recent ex but also because of resurfaced video of the NFL star and his then-WAG living this exact scenario.
That’s nothing wrong with a songwriter singing about their own relationship, and this is all personal stuff. We just know it because Taylor is the most scrutinized woman alive! But again, nothing about race at all.
However, at the same time, the whole song uses the metaphor of opalite, a bright, glittery man-made gemstone, to represent happiness, while the black mineral onyx is used to represent difficult times. People are interpreting this to say dating Black women was what made Trav upset, now he’s with her and all is white in the world. It is SUCH a stretch.
Darkness, night, stormy weather, all classic representations of sadness — ones which Tay also uses in the song. And sunshine and light represent safety, rescue, and hope. Why? Well, they pretty much always have throughout human history. Probably something to do with early man getting lost to predators and accidents in the scary dark, and being safer when it was brighter and everyone could see? In any case, it’s like all of culture, thousands of poems, songs, plays, films…
But when Taylor does it it’s a sign she’s been secretly racist all this time?? Come on, now! Really??
We’ll let some folks explain who have a little more expertise…
But seriously, Taylor has ALWAYS, quite consistently been against racism. She had the courage to blast the President of the United States for “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism.” And she’s been reaping his wrath ever since.
And when white nationalists tried to embrace her as an “Aryan goddess” in 2019, she did what Trump was never willing to do when they embraced him — she very clearly and explicitly denounced them, telling The Guardian:
“There’s literally nothing worse than white supremacy. It’s repulsive. There should be no place for it.”
You can listen to what she says when she’s not being poetic, making her feelings on the matter clear! Or… You can listen to a song about finding happiness, in which she sings:
“You were dancing through the lightning strikes / Sleepless in the onyx night / But now the sky is opalite”
And assume her secret intention is to take down Black women. Sigh.
Not Political Enough??
In addition to those who think the whole album is a MAGA dog whistle, there are others complaining about Taylor not getting political. For real! We’ve seen tons of posts where people are saying Tay isn’t speaking to the political moment.
Had to block one of my favorite TikTokers (she talks about geography) cause she listened to Showgirl and complained about it not having a song about Palestine pic.twitter.com/lA5KPqJd67
And this isn’t just TikTokers either, we’ve seen actual music critics write whole think pieces about this!
We mean, at least it’s accurate? This album isn’t political. But Tay has never really made political music. It’s mostly been about her relationships, her feelings, what it’s like for a girl going through big life moments… It’s all really personal stuff. Interpretations of politics just aren’t her thing.
There are plenty of folk and classic rock and punk bands to go to for that sort of thing. Like, if Green Day put out Dookie II right now? And completely ignored the rise of fascism? After American Idiot? We could see their fans being pretty disappointed in them. But this feels like ordering pizza and complaining there isn’t enough standup comedy on it.
It’s OK to make something fun and cheerful if that’s your gift! And we’ll let this Swiftie give everyone an excellent explanation WHY!
I live in fucking warzone and Taylor’s music is one of the only things keeping me going, so leave her the fuck alone. She’s one of the only good things about your country, honestly. https://t.co/s5dkJU1Cas
— Marie❤️???? (Taylor’s Version) (@harrypurplebow) October 10, 2025
The WILDEST Takes
Stuff gets crazier. The worst faith takes are actually saying Tay’s album is somehow celebrating the genocide in Gaza… Or that Taylor comparing a hater to “a toy Chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse” is racist against… can you guess? Asians! Yes, because apparently Chihuahua is a “slur to Asian or half Asian people” — ignoring the context that it’s a well-known dog breed, and she’s explicitly using the term in the context of the dog breed.
But one of the most insulting? We’ve seen multiple hot takes from critics saying Taylor was about to become transphobic. Not that she’s currently transphobic, not that there’s any evidence of that at all. No, they’re going full Minority Report and saying they just feel in their gut that she’s going to go full JK Rowling any second.
They’re calling Taylor a transphobe bc she doesn’t care about online losers opinions pic.twitter.com/KMSVyj9pTq
As a trans woman it’s disappointing to see how people here fetisize about the biggest celebrity in the world being a transphobe
She was the first major straight artist who cast a trans man as her love interest. Stop using trans people as your pawns in this disgusting narrative https://t.co/SZpC7uPMs6

Taylor Swift is going all in on The Life of a Showgirl. Many Swifities think that she targeted her fiance’s ex Kayla Nicole on a song that’s about Travis Kelce.
In track three of her new album, she sings about waiting to find the right love. In the chorus, she sings, “It’s alright / You were dancing through the lightning strikes / Sleepless in the onyx night/ But now the sky is opalite.” However, in the verse, she sings about her lover’s lament before they found each other. “You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.”
A Swiftie reposted a video of Travis Kelce telling Kayla that she’s on her phone too much. “Get off your phone,” the tight-end jokingly says while grabbing her phone while filming. Some fans immediately noticed the connection. One person wrote on X, “TAYLOR SWIFT JUST CALLED KAYLA NICOLE TF OUT.” Someone else wrote, “Taylor clocking Kayla Nicole was not on my bingo card.”
In an interview with Capital Breakfast, Taylor shared that the song is attributed to Travis. “I had written down the word Opalite because I learned that it is actually a man-made Opal. Opal can be man-made just like diamonds. Travis’ birthstone is an opal, so I have always fixated on that, and I’ve always loved that stone. And I thought it was kind of a cool metaphor that man-made Opal and happiness can also be man-made too,” she said. “I think that is his favorite, he loves that one.”
The podcast host dated the NFL player on-and-off from 2017 to 2022. She mostly keeps quiet about the relationship and alluded to the relationship in a now-deleted TikTok that said, “You’re not stupid Kayla. No, I am actually. Thought I’d get wifed after dating for 5 year. That’s 1,825 days.”
She’s also hinted at experienced cheating in past relationships, but didn’t name any names. During an episode ofThe Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole back in May, she said, “You watch the Disney movies, you grow up in church. I was raised to believe that a man and woman, if they are in a relationship, if they are married, you are only intended to be with each other, and you make this agreement, this promise to one another to hold each other accountable.’
“Have I experienced that in dating and relationships in my life? No. When you are cheated on, the heartbreak and devastation that come with that. The insecurities that come with that. It can be overwhelming. In my experience, I don’t have successful, monogamous relationships without any element of cheating.”
“Opalite” by Taylor Swift lyrics
[Verse 1] I had a bad habit of missing lovers past My brother used to call it, “Eating out of the trash” It’s never gonna last I thought my house was haunted, I used to live with ghosts And all the perfect couples said, “When you know, you know” And, “When you don’t, you don’t”
[Pre-Chorus] And all of the foes, and all of the friends (Ha, ha) They’ve seen it before, they’ll see it again (Ha, ha) Life is a song, it ends when it ends I was wrong But my mama told me
[Chorus] It’s alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, my Lord Never made no one likе you before You had to make your own sunshinе But now the sky is opalite Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge] This is just a storm inside a teacup But shelter here with me, my love Thunder like a drum This life will beat you up, up, up, up This is just a temporary speed bump But failure brings you freedom And I can bring you love, love, love, love, love Don’t you sweat it, baby
[Chorus] It’s alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Oh, so sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, my Lord Never made no one like you before (No) You had to make your own sunshine But now the sky is opalite Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2] You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone You were in it for real, she was in her phone And you were just a pose And don’t we try to love love? (Love love) We give it all we got (Give it all we got) You finally left the table (Uh-uh), and what a simple thought You’re starving ’til you’re not
[Pre-Chorus] And all of the foes and all of the friends (Ha, ha) Have messed up before, they’ll mess up again (Ha, ha) Life is a song, it ends when it ends You move on And that’s when I told you
[Chorus] It’s alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, my Lord Never made no one like you before You had to make your own sunshine But now the sky is opalite Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Kayla Nicole has BEEN that girl, and her viral spotlight-stealing stunt during a lap dance from Chris Brown was a reminder that she’s STILL that girl!

Kayla Nicole looked right at home at center stage during a steamy fan-favorite moment at Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl in Los Angeles this weekend. The #TeamTory talent invited the gym-built beauty onstage for a special dance that really turned up the heat in SoFi Stadium on Sunday night.
The Welcome to the Pre-Game host was pretty and perched as the singer performed his classic hit “Take You Down,” and that’s exactly what he proceeded to do. We all know a song like this comes with some of Chris’ signature slangin’ and effortless acrobatics. Kayla cheered him on with a light twerk on a plush red lounger until the real show started.

We might need to see the sports broadcast baddie as a video vixen because she didn’t miss a beat when it came to matching Breezy’s energy. As soon as the “Forever” star walked up, her legs went up during the steamy serenade. They were really showing out while he straddled the seat and basically Kayla at the same damn time.
Is it hot in here or is it just them?
Kayla played her position perfectly, with one leg wrapped around his waist and the other pushed back on his shoulder. Sis did what needed to be done! Chris had one hand on the mic and the other wrapped around her neck. He appeared to lean in for a kiss, making the passionate embrace look realistic enough that multiple fans joked they can’t stop replaying the mouthwatering moment.
Kayla Nicole Is Taking “Control Of The Narrative” Of Her Life
We love to see Kayla living her best life! This concert is the first public outing since the epic engagement news about her ex, Travis Kelce, and his next, Taylor Swift, reportedly brings her a new wave of unwanted attention.
Fans of Taylor Swift have more than enough to focus on with their fave’s upcoming big day and new album. However, Kayla claims some stans made a hobby of harassing her since the Chiefs star’s new coupledom was confirmed in 2023. On Unapologetically Angel, the former ESPN correspondent revealed that the “hate” she receives online affected her for years.
With all the scrutiny on the Tribe Therepē founder, she recently dodged The Daily Mail’s question about America’s favorite “gym teacher and English teacher” getting married. When she spoke to PEOPLE during NYFW last week, she noted that the biggest lesson she learned in the past year is that “the opinions of others are only as big as you make them.”
That’s a word! Although Kayla may keep her distance from social media these days, she set it ablaze with her concert cameo.
Chris Brown and Kayla Nicole gave Los Angeles a steamy show on Sunday (September 14). Sis attended his ‘Breezy Bowl XX’ tour stop looking too good in an all-black ‘fit and curly bob. Before the night ended, she had her legs sprawled open on stage as Breezy performed ‘Take You Down’ between them. Roommates, as expected, social media is gagging over the spicy moment!
Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to include comments and footage from Kayla about her moment on stage.
As mentioned, ‘Breezy Bowl’ stopped in Los Angeles, and Kayla Nicole and her people popped out for the vibes. It’s unclear whether the moment was pre-planned with an invite from Breezy. But, once on stage in a red chair, Chris Brown didn’t let the 18-year difference show in his ‘Take You Down’ moves. Videos show him pressing her back against the chair, coming down to grind against her pelvic and private areas several times. Things got more steamy when the 36-year-old lightly grabbed her neck and leaned in for what looked like a kiss, before the stage went dark. Nicole didn’t hold back either, moving her hips to meet his and holding his spicy gaze! And the crowd? Screaming over the 2007 hit song!

Kayla Nicole Says She Did It For The “Brown Girls” (UPDATE)
It’s unclear if the lil’ stage dance might or did develop into something more, but Kayla Nicole made it clear that she had a time! On IG, she posted a recap of her experience, saying it was fun and everything for her teenage self who used to blast Chris Brown in her bedroom.
“For the mini me who saw him at one of her first concerts. For the woman who sometimes feels like she has to be a monolith instead of multi-layered. I did it for the smart girls, the cool girls, the sexy girls, the fun girls–for all of u who are all of those things at once. And I OVERLYdid it for my brown girls, tthhaaankya.”
I watched that Kayla Nicole & Chris brown video an unhealthy amount of times and I just wanna formally say I do not understand Travis Kelce’s decision making skills 😭😭😭
While Kayla Nicole has an entertainment industry resume, she’s made more headlines recently for being Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend. The two dated on and off for five years before ending for good in 2022. Much of the talk came after he and Taylor Swift began dating. While Kayla has publicly chatted about her past with Travis, he has evidently moved on and broke the internet this month when he proposed to Taylor.
Most recently, she declined to comment when paparazzi asked about Travis’ engagement at a New York Fashion Week event. However, she answered questions about her own love life. She confirmed that she’s single and loves a man who is honest, of really great character, likes to have fun, has a great relationship with his family, and has good girlfriends, per E! News.
Kayla Nicole is keeping mum when asked about her ex, Travis Kelce‘s recent engagement. The sports reporter quickly avoided the question about the NFL tight end’s big news.
On the red carpet for the House of Champion event in New York City on September 11, the Daily Mail asked Kayla Nicole about her reaction to Kelce & Swift’s engagement. “Oh,” she said, “no, no, no.” She pivoted the question and said, “But I’m really happy to be here at Champion, though! This is a good party.”
The comment comes after fans saw that Nicole reposted a video about “joy” right after the news about Kelce’s engagement to Swift broke. The sports reporter took to her Instagram Stories to share a video of Tracee Ellis Ross.
“I think joy is different from happiness,” Ross says in the video. “Happiness is something you can get at 7-Eleven, and joy is something that you earn and work for and takes practice,” the actress explains. “I think joy is an attitude. I think joy is a perspective and I think joy is a lens through which I live and look at my life.”
“Read about this very concept years ago in a book called ‘Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn’t Enough’. I aspire! So so good,” Nicole responded in the video.
These days, Nicole tries to stay quiet about her relationship with Travis Kelce, whom she dated on and off from 2017 to 2022. She alluded to the relationship in a now-deleted TikTok that said, “You’re not stupid Kayla. No, I am actually. Thought I’d get wifed after dating for 5 year. That’s 1,825 days.”
She’s also hinted at experienced cheating in past relationships, but didn’t name any names. During an episode ofThe Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole back in May, she said, “You watch the Disney movies, you grow up in church. I was raised to believe that a man and woman, if they are in a relationship, if they are married, you are only intended to be with each other, and you make this agreement, this promise to one another to hold each other accountable.’
“Have I experienced that in dating and relationships in my life? No. When you are cheated on, the heartbreak and devastation that come with that. The insecurities that come with that. It can be overwhelming. In my experience, I don’t have successful, monogamous relationships without any element of cheating.”
Kelce and Swift announced their engagement on August 26, 2025. The power couple posted engagement photos in a collaborative Instagram post. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” they wrote. In the photos, Travis pops the question in a lavish garden, and several photos include the “Love Story” singer posing with the ring on her finger
