Overview
- Teyana Taylor posted an Instagram Story on Oct. 14 thanking Swift for a package containing The Life of a Showgirl vinyl, a sweatshirt, and a handwritten note.
- The note described recipients as people who had shown love and whom Swift wanted to celebrate as she launched her new album.
- Multiple outlets reported that social media users interpreted the outreach as a potential dig at Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole, though no party has stated any such intent.
- The speculation draws on a 2024 episode of Angel Reese’s podcast, where Nicole recounted being dumped for a famous actress widely identified as Teyana, and on Taylor’s public rebuke of Nicole’s remarks.
- Coverage also points to Swift’s recent Tonight Show praise for Teyana’s film One Battle After Another as additional context for their public goodwill during Swift’s album rollout.
