After Golden Globes host Jo Koy made a “tacky jab” at Taylor Swift’s relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce, the singer expressed her discomfort, but she chose to “bit her tongue” because she didn’t have time to respond.
Koy joked in his opening address on her attendance at games.34-year-old Swift appeared noticeably unimpressed after being the target of one of his jokes.Taylor Swift decided to “bite her tongue” and avoid responding to Golden Globes presenter Jo Koy after she was allegedly dissatisfied by the comedian’s “tacky jab” about her relationship with Travis Kelce, according to a source. “She doesn’t have time to clap back at anyone, nor does she want to.”
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.
Taylor Swift became furious after a joke about her at the Golden Globes.

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.

At the star-studded event, the comedian made a playful remark, saying, “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL – on the Golden Globes, there are fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.” Some people came to Koy’s defense, viewing his comment as a lighthearted jab at the NFL’s coverage of Swift rather than an insult aimed directly at her. They saw it as humorous and harmless.
Koy addressed the reaction to his comment at the Billboard after party, clarifying, “It was a compliment, suggesting that she could have a more intimate experience tonight, that’s all.”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t Swift’s night as she lost to Barbie for the new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award. Great Gerwig’s summer blockbuster centered around the beloved Mattel doll triumphed over tough competition, including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, Oppenheimer, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Swift gracefully led the standing ovation despite being a gracious loser. However, her fans were less forgiving and took to social media to express their disappointment, claiming that she had been unjustly denied the prize, even though she herself had referred to the award as “invented” for her.
One Twitter user wrote, “Golden Globes is rigged. Taylor should have won,” while another added, “I hope Taylor never attends these non-worthy award shows in the film industry. She is more impactful and popular than everyone in that room combined.

Swift made a stunning appearance at the 2024 Golden Globes, commanding attention in a dazzling green gown. She arrived at the event without her boyfriend, as his football commitments prevented them from attending together.
Some viewers expressed their discontent, with one person stating, “Taylor was robbed at the Golden Globe Awards!!! How can you compare a cartoon movie with a global phenomenon?” Another disappointed fan exclaimed, “Taylor ROBBED.” There were also comments about the creation of a category specifically for Swift at the Golden Globes, only for her to still lose. One tweet humorously remarked, “They had to invent a category for Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes, and she still lost lmao.”
Expressing their frustration, one viewer shared, “Can’t believe we got robbed of seeing Luke Skywalker presenting Taylor Swift with a Golden Globe.” Another person added, “Barbie did not deserve the Golden Globe for Cinematic & Box Office Achievement. Taylor deserved that award, actually.”
Despite the disappointment, the pop sensation managed to captivate the audience with her glamorous green gown, adorned with countless sequins, as she confidently walked the red carpet solo. It had been anticipated that she and her new boyfriend would not attend the show together due to his commitments in football.
