The 2024 Golden Globe Awards sparked a viral moment when comedian Jo Koy made a joke about Taylor Swift’s frequent cutouts in NFL footage. The incident, which became a meme, drew the attention of Megyn Kelly, who shared her thoughts on her SiriusXM radio show, The Megyn Kelly Show, on January 8.
Megyn Kelly, 53, expressed her view on the situation, noting, “One of the moments that’s getting a lot of attention is [Jo’s] joke about Taylor Swift, which was fine, I actually thought he was spot-on with the commentary.” However, Kelly acknowledged that Swift, 34, did not appreciate the joke.
Swift, attending the ceremony as a nominee for her concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” was captured reacting to Koy’s quip with a discreet sip of champagne and a deadpan smile.
Jo Koy, 52, took a playful jab at Swift during the awards show, saying, “As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.” Reacting to the unexpected audience response, he humorously added, “Sorry about that.”
The incident added a comedic touch to the Golden Globes, with Taylor Swift becoming a focal point of discussion and memes across social media platforms.
