“I don’t live in my phone”: Kayla Nicole calls out dating red flag 58 days after Travis Kelce's ‘get off your phone’ video resurfaced online

Kayla Nicole has revealed a dating habit she now thinks is a major red flag. During her appearance on “CultureCon Uncut” on Nov. 26, Nicole was asked to name something that looks green at first but later backfires.

In response, she said it is men who expect you to answer every call and text right away.

“Like at first, when a guy is overly communicative and always available, cause it's like, ‘You call me, I pick up. I call you, you pick up. You text me, I respond immediately,’” Nicole mentioned.

She explained that when the love-bombing phase ends, the same person can suddenly become suspicious. Nicole added that she appreciates good communication, but she also needs room to live her life.

“I love a communicator, also like, let's be understanding of like, I don't live in my phone. And I can't respond to you immediately at all times,” she said.

Her comments came nearly two months after an old video of her and ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce resurfaced online on Oct. 3. In the clip, Nicole held her phone while sipping wine, and Kelce leaned in and said:

"Just drink the wine so we can go.”

Nicole then joked that she would not need to go online “to seek validation from a bunch of strangers on the internet” if “someone sometimes would pay [her] attention.”

Kelce let out a sigh and said:

“Oh, my God. Get off your phone. Get off your phone. … You’re not even drinking your wine anymore, can we go?”

Nicole laughed it off. The old video made its way around the internet just as Taylor Swift’s new album, "The Life of a Showgirl" was released on Oct. 3. In the song “Opalite,” Swifties believe Travis Kelce's fiancée seemingly took a dig at Kayla Nicole with the lyrics:

“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."

Twenty-eight days later, on Oct. 31, Kayla Nicole recreated Toni Braxton’s iconic look from the 2000 "He Wasn’t Man Enough" music video. Lyrics from Braxton’s song, like “Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?” fueled theories that Nicole was shading Swift.

Nicole later clarified on her podcast The Pre‑Game that the costume was not aimed at Swift or Kelce.
