Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole has sent a gracious message to Taylor Swift while offering a fan some advice about his love life.

The Kansas City Chiefs star and Nicole dated on and off for around five years before eventually deciding to part ways in 2022.

In September 2023, Kelce then went public with Swift when she watched him play against the Chicago Bears in the NFL.

The couple have enjoyed a whirlwind and very public romance since then with Nicole often in the headlines.

But, during a recent episode of her Pre Game podcast, Nicole took a call from a listener who asked for advice about getting over her ex-boyfriend who is now dating a ‘bad b****’.

Nicole’s response was extremely gracious towards Swift, admitting it’s ‘really beautiful’ to think your ex’s new partner is ‘hot’.

She said: ‘I want to say that it’s really beautiful that you have the capacity to acknowledge that his new girl is hot.

‘And I think as a woman, something that we struggle with is admitting that the new girl might be popping. She might be the s***. She might be really hot and there’s no problem in admitting that.

‘Say you play basketball and you’re in the playoffs and you lose in the second round, and the team that you lose to goes on to win the championship. All I’m saying is, if I’m gonna lose, I want to lose to the best team now.

‘I want you to move on and go do your big one. Make me look good.

‘It’s so much worse if the guy that you loved and you dated for so long and you’re so heartbroken over goes and starts [dating] a dud. Now you look stupid, he looks stupid, we all look stupid. Everybody’s questioning your taste.

‘So kudos to you for acknowledging she’s hot. Give her her flowers. And the reality is them over there, whatever they’re doing is their business. They deserve love as much as you do.’

It is the second piece of great news that Swift has received in the past 24 hours.

In a lengthy note posted to her official website on Friday, Swift announced she has regained control over her entire body of work.

She wrote: ‘All of the music I’ve ever made now belongs to me.’

The pop star said she purchased her catalog of recordings – originally released through Big Machine Records – from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. She did not disclose the amount.

In recent years, Swift has been rerecording and releasing her first six albums in an attempt to regain control of her music.

‘I can´t thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now,’ Swift addressed fans in the post. ‘The best things that have ever been mine… finally actually are.’

‘We are thrilled with this outcome and are so happy for Taylor,’ Shamrock Capital said in a statement.
