Philadelphia Eagles star C.J. Gardner-Johnson is feeling what itβs 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 Chiefsβ three-peat attempt, and blew the defending champions out 40-22, Gardner-Johnson made sure to take a shot at Kelceβs relationship with Taylor Swift on social media, writing in a post on his Instagram story, βShouldβve stayed w that thick s****.β

This refers to Kelceβs 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 starβs parents by flooding their restaurant with negative and one-star reviews online.
Despite the bad reviews left on Kingβs Grillβs Yelp page, the safetyβs parents donβt seem too bothered by the negativity: In an interview with TMZ, Gardner-Johnsonβs mother, Delatron, said, βI have friends who were sending me the screenshots. They were going, βOh my god, look at this!β And the first thing everyone said was, βthe Swifties have attacked.ββ
She later added, βYes, weβve seen all the reviews. The joke is really on the Swifties and everyone entertaining the reviews because Kings Grill is closedβ¦ There is really no backlash because we are in the process of selling Kings Grill anyways. It didnβt affect us one way or another.β
The Swifties tend to attack anyone who doesnβt say anything positive about their β1989" pop star.
In 2020, they doxxed a reviewer at Pitchfork because he gave her studio album, βFolklore,β a score of 8 out of 10.
