While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce plan for the future following their engagement, some fans are delving into the couple's past.

The Kansas City Chiefs star dated Kayla Nicole from 2017-2022, and she reposted a video from @offthecuff of Tracee Ellis Ross talking about the joys of life. 

"Read about this very concept years ago in a book called Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn't Enough," Kayla wrote over the clip. "I aspire! So so good."

In the clip, the Emmy-winning actress shared how she shares joy and that it's a work in progress.

"I work at it," Tracee says in the clip. "I think joy is different from happiness. I feel like happiness is something you can get at 7/11, and joy is something you earn and work for and takes practice."

"I feel lie joy has legs," she continues. "I feel like joy has feet, I feel like joy has roots, I feel like creates space and allows for room for more than just a good day. I think joy is an attitude. I think joy is a perspective, and I think joy is a lens through which I live and look at my life."

Kayla Nicole on backlash from Travis Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift

It's been several years since Kayla and Kelce have dated, but social media has constantly pitted the women against one another despite them not having any bad blood. 

“I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and online chaos didn't impact me, even to this day,” Kayla Nicole told Angel Reese on her Unapologetically Angel podcast last year. “You could go to my most recent posts and people would be debating why I am worthless.”

Kayla shared that it's just how the public views her but it doesn't have to deal with her actual character.

“It is nothing to do with me,” she continued. “I think there is something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, which is unfortunate because I don't think I have done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”

While Kayla has not commented on Kelce's engagement, she has spoken positively of Swift in the past. 

“I really like, like, her,” Kayla said of the "Cruel Summer " singer. “I think she’s very talented.”
