Kayla Nicole recently showcased her admiration for Toni Braxton once again, this time with a live performance. Following her Halloween lip-syncing to Braxton’s hit song “He Wasn’t Man Enough,” Nicole took the stage at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, alongside Braxton and other backup dancers.
During the performance, Braxton playfully asked Nicole, “Kayla, is he man enough?” The moment was captured in a viral clip that was shared by a fan account, “Mita Michele,” on social media. The video, originally posted by model Tatiana Elizabeth on Instagram Story, featured Nicole’s energetic performance.
Following the performance, Taylor Swift fans took to social media to share their thoughts. Some fans expressed confusion over the connection between Nicole and Travis Kelce, stating that they had broken up long before Kelce started dating Swift. Others jokingly suggested that Swift should consider a restraining order against Nicole.
Despite the online chatter, Nicole labeled the experience as the “Best. Day. EVER ❤️❤️❤️❤️” on her social media. It’s worth noting that Nicole had previously clarified that her Halloween costume and song choice were not intended to target or tear down other women, including Swift.
In a separate interview on the podcast “Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey,” Nicole opened up about facing “overly sexualized” comments about her appearance. She expressed frustration at being scrutinized for simply wearing a bathing suit, emphasizing that she should not be judged for being herself.
As for her relationship with Kelce, the couple dated from 2017 to 2022, and Kelce is now engaged to Taylor Swift. Despite the public attention and scrutiny, Nicole remains focused on her own happiness and self-expression.
Overall, Nicole’s performance with Braxton was a memorable moment that showcased her talent and admiration for the music icon. Despite the online chatter and speculation, Nicole continues to prioritize her own well-being and creative expression in the face of public scrutiny.
