JUST IN: From the Chiefs’ Super Bowl Collapse to Taylor Swift’s Awardless Nights at the Grammys and AMAs award 2025 — Is Kim Kardashian and Kayla Nicole ‘Curse’ Finally Sabotaging Travis Kelce and Taylor’s Love and Challenging their Power Couple Status?

Is a Curse Haunting Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? Fans Point to Kim Kardashian and Kayla Nicole After Super Bowl Loss and Award Snubs

In a year that promised to cement Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as America’s ultimate power couple, 2025 has delivered a string of unexpected setbacks that have left fans reeling and whispering about a possible curse. The Kansas City Chiefs’ crushing 40-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025, marked a devastating end to Kelce’s dreams of a historic three-peat. Just days earlier, Swift faced her own professional heartbreak, walking away empty-handed from six nominations at the 67th Grammy Awards on February 2, 2025, and reportedly failing to secure any wins at the American Music Awards (AMAs) later in the year. As the couple navigates these high-profile disappointments, a fervent fan theory has taken hold on platforms like X: Are Kim Kardashian’s lingering feud with Swift and Kayla Nicole’s presence as Kelce’s ex casting a dark cloud over their golden era? While the idea of a “curse” remains speculative, the drama surrounding these events has ignited a firestorm of speculation, blending pop culture, sports, and personal histories into a narrative too juicy to ignore.

A Super Bowl Stunner and Grammy Disappointment

The stage was set for Super Bowl LIX at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end, aimed to make history alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Swift, ever the supportive partner, arrived in a sparkling ensemble—a white Saint Laurent blazer, denim shorts, and thigh-high Paris Texas boots, complete with a “T” chain necklace as a nod to her boyfriend. She was joined by friends like Ice Spice, the Haim sisters, and her family, cheering from a suite. But the night took a sour turn as the Eagles dominated, sacking Mahomes six times and limiting Kelce to a lackluster four catches for 39 yards. The 40-22 rout crushed the Chiefs’ three-peat hopes, leaving Kelce visibly dejected as he joined Swift in her suite post-game, still clad in his retro ‘70s-inspired rust suit. Fans on X didn’t hold back, with one user mocking, “The Chiefs choked like a firework that doesn’t go off. It’s a DUD,” while another speculated Kelce’s mind was elsewhere, perhaps on a rumored post-game proposal that never materialized.

Just a week prior, Swift faced her own public setback at the Grammys. Nominated for six categories, including Album of the Year for The Tortured Poets Department, the 14-time Grammy winner was shockingly shut out, a rare miss for an artist who has dominated the awards circuit. Reports also suggest Swift went home empty-handed from the AMAs, though specific details remain scarce. The double blow of these losses—Kelce’s on the field and Swift’s on the awards stage—prompted fans to wonder if something more sinister was at play. On X, Swifties and NFL fans alike began pointing fingers, reviving old dramas involving Kim Kardashian and Kayla Nicole as potential sources of a “curse” plaguing the couple’s 2025.

The Kardashian Connection: A Feud That Lingers

The idea of a Kim Kardashian-related curse stems from her long-standing feud with Swift, which dates back to 2016. That year, Kardashian released a partial recording of a phone call between Swift and Kanye West (now Ye), appearing to contradict Swift’s claim that she hadn’t approved West’s lyric referencing her in his song “Famous.” The fallout was brutal: Swift faced a wave of public backlash, with the hashtag #TaylorSwiftIsASnake trending and Kardashian at the center of the storm. Swift later addressed the ordeal in her 2017 album Reputation, particularly in the song “Look What You Made Me Do,” and told TIME in 2018 that she retreated from the spotlight for years, saying, “Me locking myself away in my house for a lot of years—I’ll never get that time back.”

Though the feud has since quieted, fans on X have reignited speculation, suggesting Kardashian’s past actions have left a karmic shadow over Swift’s success. Some posts claim the Grammy snub and Super Bowl loss are cosmic payback, with one user writing, “Kim K’s energy is still out there messing with Taylor’s vibe.” Others point to Kardashian’s own tumultuous 2025, including her divorce from Cash Warren and public spats, as evidence of a lingering negative aura affecting those connected to her. While no concrete evidence ties Kardashian to Swift’s recent losses, the narrative resonates with fans who see her as a symbol of past betrayals, fueling the curse theory.

Kayla Nicole’s Eagles Allegiance and Post-Breakup Shade

Adding fuel to the fire is Kayla Nicole, Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, whose actions during Super Bowl LIX sent shockwaves through the fanbase. Nicole, who dated Kelce on-and-off from 2017 to 2022, attended the game at the Caesars Superdome—not to support the Chiefs, but to cheer for their rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. In an Instagram Story on February 9, 2025, she shared a video of herself amid a sea of green-clad Eagles fans, chanting “Fly, Eagles, Fly” and making
