EXCLUSIVE: Taylor Swift’s Inner Circle Worries She’s Paranoid About Travis Kelce’s History with Kayla Nicole – Sources Claim She’s Monitoring His Every Move to Keep the Ex at Bay!

April 10, 2025 — Los Angeles, CA
It seems the honeymoon phase might be facing a few speed bumps.
According to sources close to Taylor Swift, the pop icon’s inner circle is growing increasingly concerned about her mounting anxiety over boyfriend Travis Kelce’s past relationship with influencer and fitness model Kayla Nicole. Insiders claim the Grammy-winning superstar has been “hyper-aware” of any potential interactions between Travis and his ex — and may even be keeping tabs on his moves behind the scenes.
“She trusts Travis, but she doesn’t trust the situation,” one insider told us exclusively. “Kayla and Travis were on-and-off for years. There’s a lot of history there, and Taylor can’t help but feel a little threatened by that.”
Sources say Swift, 35, has been cautious ever since rekindled interest in Kelce’s dating history began resurfacing in tabloids and on social media. Though Kelce, 35, has been vocal about his devotion to Taylor, insiders say she’s still unsettled.
“She’s definitely more protective than she lets on,” another source revealed. “She’s been asking mutual friends if Kayla’s been in touch and wants to make sure there are no lingering connections.”
While there’s no evidence of recent contact between Kelce and Nicole, it hasn’t stopped speculation from fueling online drama. Nicole, who dated the NFL star on and off from 2017 to 2022, has maintained a relatively low profile since their final breakup — but fans have noted cryptic messages and likes on social media that some interpret as subtle shade.
“Taylor’s not just dealing with jealousy,” says one music industry source. “She’s dealing with the pressure of being in an extremely high-profile relationship while the world watches her every move. It’s a lot, and she’s human.”
Still, those close to the couple say there’s no major trouble in paradise — yet. “They’re solid overall,” the insider added. “But this whole Kayla thing is a sore spot. Taylor just doesn’t want old flames to reignite, even accidentally.”
Reps for Swift, Kelce, and Nicole did not respond to requests for comment.
With Taylor’s The Eras Tour still going strong and Kelce entering the NFL offseason, the couple has more time to be together — but also more time for whispers to grow louder. Whether the paranoia is justified or just a product of fame-fueled pressure, one thing’s for sure: Taylor isn’t letting her guard down easily.
