Toni Braxton Weighed in on Kayla Nicole’s Halloween Costume Months Before Bringing Her On Stage
Kayla Nicole has something of a history of being a little shady towards the women who come after her. She’s reportedly shaded Taylor Swift multiple times since she linked up with Travis Kelce. She really upped the ante for Halloween, though. Fans were flabbergasted by her Halloween costume, which Nicole denied was a dig at Swift. Whether it was or it wasn’t, it turned out to be a pivotal moment for the podcaster. That costume landed her a spot on stage with Toni Braxton recently. As it turns out, Braxton commented on the costume months before inviting Nicole to take the stage with her at a recent concert.
Kayla Nicole dressed as Toni Braxton for Halloween
Kayla Nicole has been in the spotlight since her ex-boyfriend, Travis Kelce, started dating Taylor Swift. The attention has only been amplified by the couple’s engagement and Nicole’s thinly veiled shade toward the relationship. The discussion around her reached a fever pitch in October when Niocle took to Instagram to share her Halloween look. Nicole, dressed as Toni Braxton in a body-revealing dress, danced along to the R&B icon’s famed song “He Wasn’t Man Enough.”
Fans of Taylor Swift were quick to note that the lyrics in the background felt purposefully pointed at Swift. In the video, Braxton is heard singing “…Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend? …He wasn’t man enough for me.” The interpreation fo the costume came after fans suspected Swift was shading Kayla Nicole with the lyrics to her hit song, “Opalite.”
Toni Braxton commented on the costume
After Kayla Nicole caught some criticism for the costume and its interpreted intentions, Toni Braxton spoke out about the situation. Entertainment Weekly caught up with Braxton after the alleged diss and asked her to weigh in on Nicole’s costume.
Braxton said she hoped that Kayla Nicole was paying homage to her and was simply enjoying Halloween. Braxton did seem a bit skeptical, though. She didn’t offer any commentary on the alleged feud between Nicole, her ex-boyfriend, and his new love. Any skepticism she may have had clearly disappeared, though. Braxton and Nicole seem to be buddies these days.
Clearly, the two ladies are now pals
While Toni Braxton didn’t initially know the meaning behind the costume, she was clearly happy to see someone dressed as her. After her comments, she and Nicole clearly developed some sort of connection. The podcaster appeared on stage with Braxton during a recent concert.
During Braxton’s set at The Kia Forum on January 31, Kayla Nicole appeared on stage, in costume, performing a dance similar to the one that had everyone talking. According to Page Six, Braxton drew attention to the stunt, asking Kayla if he was “man enough” for her.
