    Eagles star CJ Gardner-Johnson delivers crude message to Taylor Swift fans at Super Bowl parade

    Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson might have had the final say in a back-and-forth with Taylor Swift fans. 

    Arriving in Philadelphia for the Eagles’ Super Bowl parade on Friday, the NFL player went on Instagram Live to show off his custom hoodie.

    The shirt, directed at loyal fans of the global pop star, read, “Swifties can LIX my b—s.”

    The dig at fans comes after Gardner-Johnson took aim at Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his relationship with Swift after the Eagles routed the Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday. 

    Gardner-Johnson took to Instagram and posted a photo of himself and Kelce on the field with a caption that read, “Should’ve stayed w that thick s***.”

    The Instagram Story seemingly referenced Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole, in comparison to Swift.

    NFL FANS INTERVENE AFTER RESTAURANT OWNED BY EAGLES’ CJ GARDNER-JOHNSON’S MOM HIT BY UNWARRANTED BAD REVIEWS

    Swifties reacted by flooding Google and Yelp with poor reviews for a restaurant owned by Gardner-Johnson’s mom. 

    “I have friends who were sending me the screenshots,” Delatron Johnson told TMZ Sports. “They were going, ‘Oh my god, look at this!’ And the first thing everyone said was, ‘the Swifties have attacked.’”

    Johnson said the restaurant that fans were spamming was her old restaurant, which is now closed.

    The unfavorable reviews were later removed, and Yelp placed an “unusual activity alert” on the restaurant’s page which “temporarily disabled the posting of content.”

    Some NFL fans tried to counter the negative reviews by posting good reviews of Johnson’s establishment.

    Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson trolled Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in a post on social media following the team’s Super Bowl LIX victory on Sunday.

    Gardner-Johnson, who had an interception return for a touchdown nullified late in the game, posted a message seemingly directed toward the star tight end and his romantic life.

    “Should’ve stayed w that thick s***” he wrote as the caption.

    Gardner-Johnson seemed to reference Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole and made a comparison towards the tight end’s current flame, pop star Taylor Swift. Both women were on hand to watch the Eagles rout the Chiefs, 40-22.

    Nicole was on the field blowing the green and white confetti around while celebrating the Eagles’ win. Kelce was seen after the game going up to Swift’s suite to meet with her before he left with the team. Kelce appeared downcast as he walked off the field following the loss.

    The question will be whether Kelce returns to the Chiefs for the 2025 season or whether he walks into the sunset and retires.

    For Gardner-Johnson, he will be with the team on Friday when they celebrate their title win in Philadelphia. He had three tackles in the Super Bowl.
