Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce’s former girlfriend, dazzled audiences during a live performance with Toni Braxton at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on Saturday. The podcaster joined Braxton for a rendition of the singer’s 2000 hit “He Wasn’t Man Enough,” wearing a shimmering silver beaded mini dress. Videos shared on social media showed the energetic routine, with the crowd cheering loudly for their dynamic stage presence.
Mid-performance, Braxton playfully asked Nicole, “Kayla, is he man enough?” into the microphone. Fans praised Nicole’s appearance online, calling her “amazing” and celebrating the collaboration as a standout moment for the song. Nicole later expressed gratitude to Braxton on Instagram, sharing behind-the-scenes clips from the event, including a video inside the singer’s dressing room.
This performance revived discussions about Nicole’s Halloween costume last year when she recreated Braxton’s music video for the same song. Critics speculated the move subtly criticized Kelce’s fiancée, Taylor Swift, though Nicole denied any intended dig. At the time, Swift was also rumored to reference Nicole in her song “Opalite.” Braxton dismissed the drama during an interview, attributing Nicole’s Halloween homage to admiration rather than malice.
Nicole dated Kelce on and off from 2017 until 2022. The NFL star and Swift began their relationship in 2023 and announced their engagement last summer.
