Kayla Nicole looks to have come out swinging following the release of Taylor Swift's album The Life of a Showgirl, which is said to feature a 'diss track' aimed at her.

For context, the YouTuber was in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce between 2017 and 2022, who is now engaged to music megastar Swift.

One of the country singer's newest songs, 'Opalite', features lyrics that could definitely be construed as shots at Nicole.

"You couldn't understand it, why you felt alone/You were in it for real, she was in her phone/And you were just a pose," sings Swift during one portion of the tune.

Many Swifties naturally assume these lines were a dig at Nicole, with one writing: "The Kayla Nicole shade in 'Opalite'?!?!"

Another said: "She disses Kayla Nicole in 'Opalite'."

While a third added: "The Kayla Nicole shade sent me I know Taylor is tired of her ass always talking about him."

Just hours after The Life of a Showgirl was released on Friday (October 3), Nicole reposted a reel of America's Next Top Model star Eva Marcille on Instagram Stories.

Tyra Banks is seen asking Marcille in the clip: "How do you compare yourself to the other girls out there?"

The model-stroke-podcaster responds: "I don't compare myself to other girls. I'm Eva. I'm no comparison to anyone else."

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old also shared snaps from a dinner she attended on the same night, which was hosted by Hollywood Confidential in LA.

"What an honour to share a table with some of the most iconic 'girlfriends' of all time," she captioned them.

"Women whose art has been a mirror and a reminder of what's possible at every stage of my womanhood. Thank you @hollywoodconfidential for creating space to celebrate visibility, sisterhood, and storytelling in its truest form.

"And a very special thank you to the honoree of the evening, @marabrockakil. Your gift has given generations a language and a lens."

A bold meme was later added to her Instagram Stories too, reading 'And when God give you ball, BALL'.

Since Kelce and Swift began dating, accusations have been levelled at Nicole regarding her bringing him up during interviews.

The podcaster previously hit back at those ordering her to 'get over' their breakup, commenting: "Life handed me lemons and I made a lemon martini out of it and that upsets people."
