Taylor Swift's fans are clearly enjoying some sweet revenge after C.J. Gardner-Johnson's recent trade to the Houston Texans.

The Philadelphia Eagles safety, who recently found himself in hot water with Swifties, was traded on Tuesday, March 11, just a month after his remarks about Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chief's tight end Travis Kelce, went viral. It's safe to say fans are having a field day with the news on social media.

"Taylor Swift somehow worked her magic to get CJ Gardner-Johnson traded out of Philly after that parade shirt," one fan posted to X (formerly Twitter).

Another noted, "The Eagles probably traded CJ Gardner-Johnson partly because of the Taylor Swift thing. Let's not lie here."

"how tf we trade cj for somebody off the practice squad ?! i know taylor swift behind this," a third user exclaimed.

Another speculated, "I think Kelce is behind it. I think the way CJ disrespected Travis & Taylor. Jason got in Howie's ear. Something ain't right about this."

"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," a fourth declared.

The controversy surrounding Gardner-Johnson began after his behavior at the Eagles' Super Bowl victory parade. He wore a sweatshirt that read "Swifties Can LIX My Balls" and posted a message suggesting that Kelce, 35, shouldn't have dated Swift, also 35, and stayed with his ex, Kayla Nicole. "Should've stayed w that thick s****," he wrote before re-sharing an old image of the athlete and Nicole on his Instagram Story. The comments sparked some intense backlash, namely from the "Fortnight" singer's fans.
