Apparently, there's still some bad blood between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's ex, Kayla Nicole.

The 34-year-old social media influencer dated the Kansas City Chiefs tight end on and off beginning in 2017, after meeting on Instagram. PEOPLE reports that the relationship finally ended in 2022.
A Pepperdine University graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in broadcast journalism, Nicole has also worked for ESPN and Barstool Sports, reporting from NBA and NFL games.
But a Super Bowl ad for the fantasy sports app Sleeper shows that Nicole is still throwing shade at Swift and her former beau, who became engaged in August. We have the details below.
Was Taylor Swift Mentioned in the Ad?
Sort of. In the commercial, a clear parody of injury lawyer ads, comedian Tiffany Haddish and NBA star Ben Simmons are "ex-communicators." They help people deal with a bad breakup. Nicole plays one of the duo's jilted clients, as does the rapper Offset.
In the ad, the influencer is labeled as the "ex of a certain NFL player."
"Simmons and Haddish promised me that they could put an end to this whole 'ex-girlfriend' fiasco quickly," she says in the clip.
Simmons interrupts, stating, "That doesn't sound right."
The two begin arguing about their choice of words until Simmons finally lands on "swiftly." "Why is that so hard to remember?" he quips.
"I thought he was Black," adds Haddish. "My bad."
Swifties Quickly Clapped Back
The not-so-subtle reference to Swift had her fans taking to social media to fire back at Nicole.
"It's been 3 years, and you're still nothing more than the ex-girlfriend who can't keep a man or a job," one Swiftie wrote.
Another added, "Pathetic. She no longer gets to complain when the Swifties come after her. She is clearly keen to attract that attention. She's really making this her personality? Like I said, pathetic."
The ad for Sleeper isn't the first time Nicole took a shot at Kelce and Swift. For Halloween last year, she dressed up as R&B singer Toni Braxton and performed her song "He Wasn't Man Enough for Me."
Nicole claims that the post wasn't for Kelce. However, it's pretty clear that this ad was aimed right at him and Swift. Hell hath no fury, y'all.
