Golden Globes host Jo Koy appeared unfazed by Taylor Swift’s now-viral reaction to his NFL-inspired monologue joke.
“Aww, man, it was cute. I was just saying it was cute,” Koy, 52, told Entertainment Tonight following the ceremony on Sunday, January 7. “I was just saying it’s less cutaways, that’s all.”
Swift, 34, made headlines during Sunday’s awards show when cameras panned to her as Koy referenced her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.
“The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear,” Koy said. “There’s just more to go to.”
Swift took a sip of her drink with a straight face, appearing less-than-impressed by Koy’s quip. Keleigh Teller, one of Swift’s BFFs who accompanied her to the event, raised her drink in solidarity.
Swift attended the Golden Globes without Kelce, 34, who also happened to be in the Los Angeles area as his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, played the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. The Chiefs won 13-12, but Kelce didn’t take the field per a coaching decision.
Swift was nominated at the Golden Globes in the new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category. Her Eras Tour concert movie was up against 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 and Barbie, which ultimately won.
Despite her loss, Swift led a standing ovation as Margot Robbie accepted the award on behalf of her Barbie cast.
