Kayla Nicole is speaking out in response to the “constant vitriol” that she receives on social media.

Taylor Swift‘s fans are always pouring over her lyrics for clues about her personal life, and things are no different with the release of her newest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Before her world-famous relationship with Travis Kelce that was debuted this year, Swift had a long-term romance with British actor Joe Alwyn, and then a relatively short rebound with Matty Healy, frontman of the 1975.

He has also stated that his song ‘Love It If We Made It’ is like “The Blue Nile on steroids”.Led by singer Paul Buchanan, Glasgow’s The Blue Nile have a devoted underground following, and are praised for their elegant, melancholic melodies and restrained, patient synth and guitar arrangements.
