The Super Bowl might be over, but the drama? That’s just getting started.
TheKansas City Chiefs went into Super Bowl LIX with dreams of making history, chasing a third straight championship. Instead, they walked away with a brutal 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The game itself was a spectacle, but what happened after the final whistle has the internet talking just as much-especially when it comes to Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole.
Kayla Nicole, a sports journalist and media personality, didn’t just watch the Eagles’ win-she celebrated it. Decked out in green, she was spotted on the field post-game, tossing confetti in the air and chatting with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni. For many, it was just a moment of joy after a historic win. But for some Chiefs fans, it felt like a jab at Kelce and the team she once supported.
Social media wasted no time reacting. Chiefs fans flooded her Instagram with comments, accusing her of being bitter, seeking attention, or trying to stay relevant through Kelce. Some even suggested she hadn’t moved on, especially given Kelce’s high-profile romance with Taylor Swift.
Things escalated when Grammy-nominated singer Kehlani threw in a comment under Kayla’s post, mocking her use of Instagram filters. Kayla clapped back in a way that left people guessing-was it lighthearted or just as shady? Either way, it added another layer to an already messy situation.
Social media chaos: Gardner-Johnson’s jab, Chiefs fans’ revenge, and Kelce’s silence
But Kayla wasn’t the only one in the spotlight. Eagles’ safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson decided to take a shot at Kelce himself, posting a photo from the game with a not-so-subtle dig. He implied Kelce should’ve stuck with Kayla-fueling even more speculation and debate.
If there’s one thing NFL fans don’t do, it’s let things slide. Some Chiefs supporters took their frustration out in an unexpected way-by leaving negative reviews on Gardner-Johnson’s mother’s restaurant page. The situation got so out of hand that Yelp had to step in, removing the comments and monitoring the page for more attacks.
Meanwhile, Kelce has stayed quiet on the drama, focusing instead on the loss itself. On his podcast, New Heights, he admitted the defeat stung and took responsibility for his performance. But while he’s moved on to offseason recovery, the internet isn’t done talking about the post-Super Bowl fallout.
Despite the noise, Kayla doesn’t seem fazed. She made it clear that her career in sports media is her focus, saying in an Instagram post that she hopes to be part of “many more bowls to come.” Whether Chiefs fans like it or not, her connection to the team-and the drama that comes with it-isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
