She’s shaking it off.
Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole hinted she’s taking the high road after Taylor Swift seemingly dissed her on one of the pop superstar’s new tracks.
On Friday, just hours after Swift’s new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” was released, Nicole shared via Instagram images from a dinner she attended, hosted by Hollywood Confidential in Los Angeles.
She looked glamorous, wearing a brown, silk dress with a halter neckline. Her hair was in a curly bob.
“What an honor to share a table with some of the most iconic ‘girlfriends’ of all time,” Nicole, 33, wrote in the caption of her post. “Women whose art has been a mirror and a reminder of what’s possible at every stage of my womanhood.”

She added, “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 lense.
Shortly after, the “Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole” podcast host reposted a reel via her Instagram Story that features model Eva Marcille in an old scene from “America’s Next Top Model.”

Tyra Banks asks Marcille, now 40, in the clip, “How do you compare yourself to the other girls out there?”
The “Special Forces” star then responds, “I don’t compare myself to other girls. I’m Eva. I’m no comparison to anyone else.”

Nicole also reposted via her Instagram Story Friday a meme that reads, “And when God give you ball, BALL,” referencing an informal phrase that means to have courage, boldness or audacity.
The posts come after Swift, 35, dropped “Opalite” — a song she has admitted in interviews is about Kelce — and sings in it, “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.”
The “she was in her phone” line appears to be a jab at Nicole, whom Kelce, 36, publicly called out in a resurfaced video for being on her phone too much while they dated.
