Kayla Nicole vying for ‘DWTS’ role after Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s wedding

Kayla Nicole is ready to sashay into the ballroom.

“Kayla Nicole would love to appear on ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ It would be the next natural step in her career,” a source told Page Six.

Nicole had the perfect opportunity to pitch herself when she attended the inaugural TIME100 Sports Gala in New York City on July 16, as longtime “DWTS” pro Witney Carson was a guest at the event.

“DWTS” Season 35 premieres in September with Ciara Miller, Maura Higgins, Jackson Olson and Guillermo Rodriguez already announced as cast members.

And while the rest of the cast will be revealed on “Good Morning America” on Sept. 2, Nicole will have to wait until Season 36 for her shot at a Mirrorball trophy.

The host of “The Pre-Game with Kayla Nicole” podcast is no stranger to reality TV.

She appeared on Season 3 of Fox’s “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” in 2025, winning alongside “The Hills” alum Brody Jenner.

Speaking to Page Six previously, Nicole expressed how “excited” she was to show viewers her “raw, vulnerable” side on the program after dealing with the online criticism.

“I’m the opposite of being afraid of what people are going to see. I’m actually excited for people to see us stripped down, raw, vulnerable,” she shared.

In March, Nicole also pitched herself as the next “Bachelorette” after ABC canceled Taylor Frankie Paul’s season.

The model made a playful TikTok, titled “My audition to be the next ‘Bachelorette,’” where she listed off made-up qualities to try and impress potential suitors.

“Hey @ABC, heard you need a stand in? 🌹😂 ” she captioned her post.

The career goal comes after Nicole’s most prominent ex-boyfriend, Travis Kelce, married Taylor Swift in a lavish ceremony at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

Nicole and Kelce, 36, broke up for good in May 2022 after a five-year on-again, off-again romance.

Since the split, Nicole has continued to reflect on their time together.

On “Special Forces,” Nicole called her “public breakup” with Kelce “overwhelming.”

In February, Nicole said during a TikTok live that Kelce was the “right person, wrong time” while discussing their split.

“Who knows? Could be compatibility issues,” she stated.

Kelce and Swift went public with their relationship in September 2023, got engaged two years later and tied the knot at MSG over the July 4th weekend.

Tons of A-listers attended the nuptials, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Lena Dunham, Ed Sheeran, Miranda Lambert, Dakota Johnson and Adam Sandler, who officiated the ceremony.

At the same time of the wedding, Nicole posted a photo of a sunset view inside an apartment building.
