Unfortunately, though, the drama has continued, with Taylor herself seemingly joining the discourse through pointed lyrics on her October album, The Life of the Showgirl.

Taylor appears to reference Kayla in the song “Opalite,” while reflecting on Travis’s past relationships. She sings, “You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone,” seemingly alluding to internet comments about how attached Kayla was to her phone during her relationship with Travis.
Kayla appeared to respond to Taylor’s lyrics at the time through a cryptic Instagram repost — and on Friday, she seemed to share another message through her Halloween costume.
This year, Kayla dressed up as Toni Braxton, recreating the singer’s iconic fringe dress look from her “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video. She captioned the post, “She’s an icon. She’s a legend. She’s @tonibraxton circa 2000. #Halloween25.”
But it’s the lyrics that Kayla danced to that make the post seem even shadier. She shared a snippet of the part where Toni specifically calls out her ex’s new woman, singing: “What are you thinking? / Did you know about us back then? / 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.”
Yeah, people thought it was definitely shade. “The shade is real 😂,” one fan commented. Another person said, “LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO SCREAM INTO THE MIC KAYLA.”
“The level of petty, slayage, and pure decimation needs to be studied,” a third comment read in part, as another said, “Will the real showgirl step to the front!!!!!”
