The relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has generated much talk since they started dating in 2023. While some admire their romance, others have expressed their feelings through light-hearted teasing. This was evident when C.J. Gardner-Johnson, a player for the Philadelphia Eagles, made jabs at Swift during the team’s Super Bowl LIX victory. In an unexpected twist, the NFL safety has now been traded from the football club. As a result, fans of Taylor Swift are using social media to celebrate this sports-related change.
What Did C.J. Gardner-Johnson Say About Taylor Swift?
Over a month ago, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs went up against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, which was played in New Orleans. The Eagles ultimately dominated the game and came out on top with a 40-22 victory. A day after the game, C.J. Gardner-Johnson took to Instagram (per People) to chide Kelce, opining that he should’ve stayed with his former girlfriend, Kayla Nicole. Later on, during Philly’s championship parade, Gardner-Johnson returned to IG to share a post, saying “Swifties can LIX my balls.”
Apart from the veteran safety, there are others who have criticized both the Grammy winner and the Chiefs tight end in their ongoing situation. Before the major game, comedian Michael Blackson, a fervent Eagles fan, voiced his opinions. Similarly, during the 2024 Golden Globes, fellow comic Jo Koy faced criticism for a joke related to Taylor Swift during his controversial monologue that drew flak.
It appears reasonable to conclude that the 27-year-old draft pick in the 2019 NFL didn’t shy away from expressing his opinions on Taylor Swift, which might explain why some of her fans are enjoying his recent trade.
How Are Fans Responding To C.J. Gardner-Johnson Being Traded?
On Tuesday, I learned that the news outlets were correct about the former Florida safety being traded to the Houston Texans, as part of quite a significant exchange. As reported by NBC Sports, it appears the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to send this athlete off to Houston, along with a future sixth-round draft pick, in order to secure guard Kenyon Green and a fifth-round pick in return.
Needless to say, the announcement of this deal has sent Taylor Swift’s fans into a frenzy on social media. Here are some of their reactions:
- Didn’t know who CJGJ was until he showed his ass during the Super Bowl win and now he’s being traded to the Houston Texas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 karma is Tay’s boyfriend – @eo_bells
- The Eagles probably traded CJ Gardner-Johnson partly because of the Taylor Swift thing. Let’s not lie here. – @Cathom_4
- Taylor Swift somehow worked her magic to get CJ Gardner-Johnson traded out of Philly after that parade shirt – @BecaDynastyFF
- Tayvoodoo is alive and well – @folklorelaroi
- Maybe tayvoodoo did get him. – @gerawaycar
Even though C.J. Gardner-Johnson was traded away following Philadelphia’s Super Bowl victory, it appears he is content with his situation. In a TikTok video (posted on X), Gardner-Johnson shared that he had a positive conversation with management about the relocation. While he acknowledged being taken aback by the move, there is no lingering resentment and he comprehends that his contract needed to be offloaded to allow younger players to receive fair compensation.
Following the conclusion of his recent season, Travis Kelce finds himself in an unusual scenario. It was only a week ago when he announced his decision to defer retirement and play another year with the Kansas City Chiefs. His deep-seated passion for the game was a key motivator behind this choice.
It appears that the tight end and Taylor Swift continue to maintain a solid relationship. According to reports, the pair anticipate having more time for each other in the coming days because of lighter work commitments. However, it’s worth noting that their romance might still attract attention, even from unexpected quarters like ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. Despite any criticism or comments made about their relationship, they seem to be steadfastly united – with Swifties expressing their support too.
