Philadelphia Eagles star C.J. Gardner-Johnson is feeling what it’s like to be an enemy of the Swifties after attacking Travis Kelce on social media. But before he even has a chance to respond, his mother is coming to the rescue.
Just a day after the Eagles thwarted the Kansas City Chiefs’ three-peat attempt, and blew the defending champions out 40-22, Gardner-Johnson made sure to take a shot at Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift on social media, writing in a post on his Instagram story, “Should’ve stayed w that thick s****.”
This refers to Kelce’s Black ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, who he broke up with in May 2022.
Swifties quickly saw what Gardner-Johnson posted, and opted to attack the defensive star’s parents by flooding their restaurant with negative and one-star reviews online.
Despite the bad reviews left on King’s Grill’s Yelp page, the safety’s parents don’t seem too bothered by the negativity: In an interview with TMZ, Gardner-Johnson’s mother, Delatron, said, “I have friends who were sending me the screenshots. They were going, ‘Oh my god, look at this!’ And the first thing everyone said was, ‘the Swifties have attacked.’”
She later added, “Yes, we’ve seen all the reviews. The joke is really on the Swifties and everyone entertaining the reviews because Kings Grill is closed… There is really no backlash because we are in the process of selling Kings Grill anyways. It didn’t affect us one way or another.”
The Swifties tend to attack anyone who doesn’t say anything positive about their “1989" pop star.
In 2020, they doxxed a reviewer at Pitchfork because he gave her studio album, “Folklore,” a score of 8 out of 10.
