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.
