Taylor Swift left unimpressed after Golden Globes host gag about relationship with Travis Kelce

Singer Taylor Swift looked unimpressed as she and boyfriend Travis Kelce were the subject of one of Golden Globe host Jo Koy’s gags.

The singer, 34, was enjoying a glass of champagne before comedian Koy, 52, quipped about her romance with the NFL star 34.

He said: “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 fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”

The camera panned to Swift in the crowd - who was seen sipping on her drink as she failed to crack a smile. 

Koy added: “I swear, there's more to go to here. Sorry about that.”

Fans were quick to highlight the awkward exchange online.

One wrote: “Cause of death for Jo Koy: That look Taylor Swift gave him as she sipped her drink.”

Another added: “Oh Joe... don't come for Ms.Swift ! *takes sip*” [sic]

Some supported Koy, with one writing: “Can Taylor not take a joke? He wasn’t even putting her down it was a diss at the NFL for the way they cover her. It was funny & innocent”

Taylor's The Eras concert movie was nominated for the new award - Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. However, Barbie - which took home over $1 billion at the box office - won.

When it was announced that Barbie had won, Robbie, 33, and movie director Greta Gerwig, 40, accepted the award, with Swift - wearing custom Gucci - gracious in defeat as she gave the stars a standing ovation for their victory.

Swift and tight end Kelce have been dating since the latter part of 2023. 

Swift recently opened up about her relationship with Kelce as she was named Time’s Person of the Year 2023.

The All Too Well singer revealed in her cover interview how their relationship “all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell”.

Speaking about how they kept their romance under wraps in the beginning, she shared: “We started hanging out right after that.

“So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

The Anti-Hero singer sent fans into a frenzy when she made a surprise appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September.

She was pictured in Kelce’s suite alongside his mother Donna, and was later seen cheering after the tight end scored a touchdown.

At the time, many speculated if that was their first date.

Now clarifying their relationship timeline, Swift confirmed that they were already a couple back then, telling Time: “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.

She has since been seen at multiple games and out with Kelce, who has also addressed his relationship with Swift on his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

They also both made a surprise appearance during Saturday Night Live’s season premiere in October with Kelce featuring at the end of a skit which poked fun at their romance.

The NFL player, 34, has also been spotted at the Eras Tour alongside her dad Scott Swift and recently, the pair went viral following her concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina when the singer was seen running into Kelce's arms backstage and giving him a kiss.

Discussing how public their romance has seemed, Swift shared: “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.

“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
