Taylor Swift is one of the world’s biggest music stars, with her style, voice, and fashion choices frequently making headlines. Beyond her music, Swift is also a passionate football fan, inspired not only by her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, but also by her love for the sport. Still, NFL fans and swifties have recently been buzzing about a major NFL news.
So far this season, Taylor Swift hasn’t been spotted at any Kansas City Chiefs games, a notable change from her regular appearances last year. She was absent for the games against the Chargers in Brazil and the Giants at MetLife Stadium. While rumors circulated that Swift attended the Chiefs’ matchup against the Eagles at Arrowhead, there is no confirmed evidence to support this claim.
Despite her absence from games this season, many Swifties continue to follow the NFL closely. Evidence of this is how news of C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s release from the Houston Texans quickly caught the attention of Swift’s fans.
The case of C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s release from the Houston Texans
In a surprising move on Monday, the Houston Texans released 27-year-old safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson after just three games. Acquired in an offseason trade with the Eagles for guard Kenyon Green and a late-round draft pick swap, Gardner-Johnson had registered 15 total tackles and seemed to be carving out a key role in Houston’s defense. The sudden decision has shocked analysts and fans alike, given his expected impact on the team.
The news has come as a shock to many Swifties, who haven’t forgotten how Gardner-Johnson took a few blatant shots at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift following the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory over the Chiefs.
The controversy stemmed from Gardner-Johnson referencing Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, and wearing a profane shirt aimed at Swifties during the Super Bowl parade in Philadelphia. In the aftermath, Swift’s fans flooded social media with messages expressing that they felt no sympathy over Gardner-Johnson’s release.
