Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is currently in an ongoing battle with Taylor Swift fans, which stems from comments he made toward the pop star's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, following Super Bowl LIX.

That is, soon after Philly's 40-22 victory over Kansas City, Gardner-Johnson went on Instagram and posted a picture of him next to the 10x Pro Bowler tight end.
In which he captioned it, "Should've Stayed w that thick S****," ... referencing Kelce's ex Kayla Nicole.

In retaliation to this, Swifties started leaving fake bad reviews on Gardner-Johnson's mom's Florida-based restaurant, The Kings Grill.
Awful: #Chiefs fans and Swifties are leaving fake bad reviews to CJ Gardner-Johnson’s mother’s restaurant in Florida.
CJ's mother did NOT do anything, and they are putting her livelihood at risk.

Then during Friday's Super Bowl LIX parade, after already infuriating Swifties across the world, Gardner-Johnson was seen with a customized hoodie, which in green lettering had the following phrase visible: "Swifties can LIX My Balls"

In view of Gardner-Johnson's latest antics, it made a lot of Swift followers upset.
One Swift supporter on X expressed their annoyance with the Super Bowl champion, "CJ Gardner-Johnson is such a loser. Wins the superbowl but can't stop talking about Taylor Swift. & his shirt at the parade today??? SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED."
Another user on X wrote: "I don't like CJ Gardner-Johnson at all but I have to respect the level of trolling he's doing with that hoodie. Swifties are about to ruin his life though."

As for the Swifties attempting to mess with CJBJ's mom, Delatron Johnson, it evidently didn't work as she found it all amusing.
"Yes, we've seen all the reviews," Delatron told TMZ. "The joke is really on the Swifties and everyone entertaining the reviews because Kings Grill is closed."
