The mom of an Eagles player whose restaurant was review-bombed by angry Taylor Swift fans has revealed she isn’t bothered as she is selling the premises.
Delatron Johnson got the last laugh on the disgruntled Swifties who tried to exact revenge after her son CJ Gardner-Johnson took a swipe at the popstar following his team’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Gardner-Johnson appeared to throw shade at the 14-time Grammy Award winner, who has been dating the Chiefs tight end for over 18 months, with a savage reference to Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole.
In retaliation, angry Swift fans launched a shocking offensive against his mom’s Florida restaurant, Kings Grill, and even claimed to have called ICE on her.
‘Yes, we’ve seen all the reviews. The joke is really on the Swifties and everyone entertaining the reviews because Kings Grill is closed,’ Johnson told TMZ.
‘There is really no backlash because we are in the process of selling Kings Grill anyways. It didn’t affect us one way or another.
‘I have friends who were sending me the screenshots. They were going, “Oh my god, look at this!” And the first thing everyone said was, “the Swifties have attacked”.
But she added she is, ‘going to be fine regardless of who posts what or says anything’.

Johnson suffered an onslaught of bad reviews about her Rockledge restaurant in the days following the big game down in New Orleans.
It received several one-star reviews, branding it ‘horrible’ and ‘underwhelming’ before Yelp issued a warning about unusual activity on the page.
And online, Swifties also gloated openly about ‘calling ICE on his mom’s business’.
‘This has nothing to do with the Chiefs, but someone messes with Taylor they’re getting everything we have,’ one fan wrote on Reddit.
‘I crossed some limits today. I don’t regret s**t. F**k you @CGJXXII [Gardner-Johnson’s handle] you absolute piece of trash, pay the alimony you owe to your zillions of babymamas,’ another added.
The dirty tactics came after Gardner-Johnson posted a photo of him taunting Kelce during the Super Bowl slaughter of the Chiefs.
‘Should’ve Stayed with that thick s****’, he wrote alongside the picture, seemingly referring to Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole.

Nicole and Kelce dated on and off for five years before officially calling it quits in May 2022. Kelce then moved on with Swift in July 2023, becoming one of the most high-profile couples in recent history.
However, the ‘Anti-Hero’ hitmaker was left reeling in her VIP suite at Caesars Superdome Sunday as her NFL beau and the Chiefs were left humiliated.
A real sore point was Gardner and the Eagles defense holding Kelce to just four receptions out of six targets and a paltry 39 yards.
Furthermore, Gardner-Johnson tallied a solo and two assisted tackles to put the nail in the coffin of their second franchise title.
Meanwhile, Kelce suffered more humiliation following the game when Nicole was spotted on the field, celebrating with the Eagles.
Not all of Swift’s defenders condoned their fellow fans’ drastic behavior.
‘Please tell me I’m not the only Swiftie who feels genuinely bad for this. I understand f**k CJ Gardner but his mom’s business?’ one person wrote on X.
‘Idk she wasn’t involved, her son is a mess and she isn’t responsible for his grown ass. Maybe go after the person who actually made the comment.’
