While Halloween is a time for costumes and candy, model Kayla Nicole had a different agenda this year. Her Instagram post on October 31, where she channeled R&B legend Toni Braxton, wasn't just about the look – it was about the music. She recreated a scene from the iconic music video for "He Wasn't Man Enough," sparking conversations and speculation.
“She’s an icon. She’s a legend," Nicole said of Braxton in her Instagram caption.
Fans couldn't help but read between the lines, wondering if the song choice was a subtle swipe at her ex, NFL star Travis Kelce, who's now engaged to none other than pop superstar Taylor Swift. The lyrics of Braxton's 2000 hit, "Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?" and "Do you know he begged to stay with me? He wasn't man enough for me," added fuel to the fire.
Nicole and Kelce's history dates back to 2017, when they first started dating. Their relationship, which lasted around five years, was closely followed by fans and the media alike. Despite their breakup, it seems that Nicole's recent post has reignited interest in their past.
When asked about Kelce's engagement to Taylor Swift, Nicole has kept her lips sealed. At a New York Fashion Week event on September 11, she dismissed questions about the engagement, as reported by People. In a separate interview, she addressed the online scrutiny she’s faced this year, saying, "The opinions of others are only as big as you make them."
This isn't the first time Nicole has used Halloween to pay homage to R&B royalty. Last year, she dressed as "Goodies" singer Ciara, complete with a fur coat and swimsuit, recreating the "Ride" music video. Her dedication to honoring these icons shows her love for the genre and her flair for making a statement.
Halloween might be over, but Kayla Nicole's bold choices continue to turn heads and keep fans guessing.
