SUMMARY
- Taylor Swift recently made an appearance at The Golden Globes award show.
- The female star was nominated in the new blockbuster film category for her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.
American sensation Taylor Swift is surely among the top few female personalities across the world. Whether it’s the 34-year-old’s influence on the music industry, her spectacular stage presence, or her relationship with NFL’s Travis Kelce, fans love just everything about her.
Due to the kind of fanbase Swift has, she makes headlines everywhere she goes, and something similar happened at edition 81 of The Golden Globes. During the show, when Taylor was sitting among the nominated artists, comedian Jo Koy, who was also the host, took a jab at her, and it set the internet on fire.
In a viral video from the event, the comedian can be heard referring to Talyor Alison Swift as he took a shot at her and the NFL. Koy said, “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”
“THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEN THE GOLDEN GLOBES AND THE NFL? AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES, WE HAVE FEWER CAMERA SHOTS OF TAYLOR SWIFT”

Right after this joke by the host, cameras caught a reaction shot of the female star, as she looked unimpressed. She grabbed her drink and took a sip while keeping her facial expressions subdued, which showed that she wasn’t happy. Even though the 52-year-old immediately added, “Sorry about that,” it didn’t make any difference in what he did earlier.
It must be noted that Jo’s joke was a clear reference to how the NFL showed the American singer frequently on screen whe she attended any of their games. As all of us know, Swift is involved in a relationship with Travis Kelce; such a joke on her love life was probably too much to take for the globally-loved star.
Travis Kelce admitted that NFL used his relationship with Taylor Swift for their own benefit
Even though Taylor seemed hurt by Jo Koy’s dig at her and the National Football League, there’s no doubt that it was quite true. The league probably tried to use Swift’s appearances for their own benefits, and even Travis Kelce admitted this during an interview.
In an October 2023 conversation on his own podcast, Kansas City’s star performer shared his true thoughts about this matter. During the episode, the 34-year-old admitted that he feels the NFL has probably been putting too much focus on his relationship with Taylor Swift for their own benefits.
Travis comments seemed true, as due to the singing sensation’s presence at NFL games, league viewing figures among younger people rose. Moreover, it also helped them increase the all over hype. As the footballer himself has said all this, Koy probably said the truth at the show, but he could have surely avoided this reference at such a huge stage.
