After being apparently disappointed by comedian Jo Koy’s “tacky jab” regarding her relationship with Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift made the decision to “bite her tongue” and not respond to the presenter of the Golden Globes.
On Sunday night, Koy, 52, made an unexpected joke about the singer, 34, who was merely having a drink. The joke was about her visits at the tight end’s Kansas City Chiefs games.
Welcome back, he said. We came on following a football doubleheader, as you are aware. There are significantly less camera images of Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes than there are in the NFL.
The image of a stoic Swift sipping her drink and refusing to smile was then cut to.
“Jo Koy’s crude joke didn’t seem very funny to Taylor or her girlfriends,” an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com. Obviously, neither did her supporters or the crowd. She was uncomfortable, as anyone would be.
The source went on, saying that in the end, the joke was his entire performance. Before he approaches them, he ought to be aware of who the audience is. Just now, Taylor bit her tongue.
Swift declined to comment, but the insider hinted that her 34-year-old athlete lover might not be taking the situation too gently.
The source continued, “She doesn’t want to, nor does she have time, to clap back at anyone.” She is unable to make the same claim regarding Travis, who may discuss this on his show.
The comment quickly provoked criticism from followers who vehemently defended their hero on Twitter.
One said, “That look Taylor Swift gave him as she sipped her drink is the cause of death for Jo Koy.”
A second commenter asked: “Is the idiot hosting the Golden Globes aware that millions of viewers had to Google Jo Koy’s identity after his joke about Taylor Swift?”
‘Oh Joe… don’t come for Ms. Swift! *takes sip*,’ wrote some others.
“Agree,” said the fourth. Uncomfortable laughter. Furthermore, it was a cheap shot to include Taylor Swift in a joke that hasn’t been funny in months.
However, some people backed Koy, with one commenting, “Is Taylor incapable of laughing? He wasn’t even trying to minimize her; rather, he was criticizing the NFL for the manner they covered her. It was naive and humorous.
‘It was a complement, like she could be more intimate tonight, that’s all,’ Koy said to Extra in response to the response at the Billboard after party.
Swift’s loss to Barbie for the newly created Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award made for a dismal evening.
John Wick: Chapter 4, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Great Gerwig’s summer blockbuster about the adored Mattel doll were defeated. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Super Mario Bros. Movie, Oppenheimer.
Swift led the standing ovation, a gracious loser. Though they claimed the award had been “invented” for her, her followers were far less understanding and filled social media with complaints that she had been cheated out of the opportunity.
“Golden Globes is rigged, Taylor should have won,” one person tweeted. “I hope Taylor never goes to these FILM INDUSTRY non-worthy award shows,” another person said. She is more well-liked and influential than everyone in the room put together.
“Taylor was robbed at the Golden Globe Awards!!!” voiced a third viewer’s complaint. How is a cartoon film comparable to a worldwide phenomenon?
Another person said, “Taylor ROBBED.”
“They had to create a category for Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes and she still lost,” one person commented.
One user said, “Can’t believe we got robbed of seeing Luke Skywalker present Taylor Swift with a Golden Globe.”
“Barbie did not deserve the Golden Globe for Cinematic & Box Office Achievement,” another person stated. Actually, Taylor deserves that honor.
Even so, as she walked the red carpet by herself, the pop sensation stole the show in a shimmering green gown covered in an endless amount of sequins.
She didn’t bring her new partner with her to the glamorous Hollywood ceremony. Given his football commitments, it was believed that the two would not be attending the show together.
