Karma’s a relaxing thought for the Swifties.
Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was traded to the Houston Texans on Tuesday — one month after his post-Super Bowl comments about Taylor Swift went viral.
In return, the Eagles received former first-round guard Kenyon Green and a 2026 fifth-round pick.
Gardner-Johnson still had two years left on his $27 million contract, which he signed last March, leaving many Philadelphia fans upset and confused.
However, Swift’s fans were quick to celebrate the news due to his vulgar messages aimed at Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
“The Eagles probably traded CJ Gardner-Johnson partly because of the Taylor Swift thing. Let’s not lie here,” one user wrote after the news broke.
“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,” another added.
“tayvoodoo is alive and well,” a third chimed in, referencing theories that Swift has “voodoo” powers working in her favor.
“Maybe tayvoodoo did get him,” another agreed.
“Taylor Swift somehow worked her magic to get CJ Gardner-Johnson traded out of Philly after that parade shirt,” someone else guessed on X.
Meanwhile, another user suggested that Jason Kelce, who played 13 seasons with the Eagles, was “behind” the trade because of “the way CJ disrespected Travis & Taylor.”
The defensive player caused controversy after wearing a hooded sweatshirt that read “Swifties Can LIX My Balls” during the Eagles Super Bowl celebration parade last month.
The Eagles beat Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in the big game, which Swift watched from a star-studded suite.
Shortly after the win, Gardner-Johnson riled the Swifties up by suggesting that Travis shouldn’t have broken up with his ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole.
“Should’ve stayed w that thick s****,” Gardner-Johnson wrote atop an in-game picture of him and Kelce, insinuating that the tight end’s romance with Swift somehow contributed to the team’s loss.
He doubled down on the diss by resharing an image of Nicole, who Travis dated on and off from 2017 to 2022, on his Instagram Stories.
However, Gardner-Johnson, who is known for his trash talk, deleted the repost amid mounting backlash for body-shaming the pop star.
Neither Swift nor Kelce ever commented on his remarks.
Following news of his trade, Gardner-Johnson penned an emotional letter to the fans of Philadelphia, admitting he didn’t want to leave the team.
“Thank you for trusting a kid from Florida with a chip on his shoulder to lead this defense,” he wrote in a lengthy Instagram upload. “And to the Philly Faithful-you’re unmatched. You embraced my edge and fire, for this game even when I got too hot.”
“Philly, you helped me carve my name into this league. But this isn’t goodbye. It’s thank you.”
