“I can tell you miss me” sounds like it’s aimed at someone, and with her history, fans know who they’re thinking of. She didn’t name Kelce, though, and neither of them has said the post is about him. After her Halloween costume, a recreation of Toni Braxton’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough” video look, some people guessed it was a dig at Kelce, and she denied that. Fans believe lyrics in Swift’s song “Opalite” take a shot at Nicole, and Swift hasn’t addressed that publicly.The pattern is clear.
Let’s be real: that caption is not subtle. Nicole has pushed back on this kind of talk before. Many fans started commenting and started mentioning Kelce in the comments. And many feel that it can just be a woman in Paris looking great and knowing it. But she wrote that caption, posted it, and has to know how fans will read it. That’s the game. Call it a confidence post with a side of trolling. Nicole keeps getting pulled back into his story. She posts, the internet reads Kelce into it, and she gets dragged into a love story she isn’t part of anymore. Whether she’s trolling or just glowing, the fans have already picked a side.
