Taylor Swift didn’t seem too amused after being the subject of a joke by Golden Globes’ host Jo Koy, 52, on Sunday night.
The pop star’s concert film, The Eras tour movie, was up for an award in the new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category but lost out to Barbie. During his opening speech however, comedian and host Jo Koy made a quip about Taylor’s relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, 34, saying: “Welcome back. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.
“The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL – on the Golden Globes there’s fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.” The cameras then cut to a stern-faced Swift sipping her champagne, not appearing to find the joke funny.
The 34-year-old hitmaker wasn’t the only person unimpressed by the host’s dig, as fans took to X to weigh in on Koy.
One said: “That landed with a giant thud and a death glare from Swift. Not Jo Koy’s best moment.”
Another wrote: “Does the fool who’s hosting the Golden Globes and just made a joke about Taylor Swift realize millions of viewers had to Google who the hell is Jo Koy!???”
A third typed: “Can’t wait for Taylor Swift to make a diss track about him”
While a fourth added: “Agree. Uncomfortable laughter. And using Taylor Swift in a joke that stopped being funny months ago was a cheap shot.”
Another said: “Jo Koy, that was embarrassing to watch. And continuously blaming your writers for jokes not landing? Seriously?”
