Taylor Swift was not impressed by Jo Koy’s joke about her new relationship and the attention the world is paying to it.
Koy, 52, the host of this year’s Golden Globe Awards, made a joke in between awards as he acknowledged that Swift, 34, was in attendance at the star-studded event.
Seated next to Miles Teller’s wife, Keleigh Sperry, the singer kept a straight face as the comedian made a reference to the attention she garners when she attends Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games.
“The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL – on the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift,” Koy joked. “I swear, there’s just more to go to.”
Swift took a sip of her drink as the camera panned to her to see her reaction to the joke and didn’t appear to have any sort of visible response after the comedian’s comments.
She and Kelce, 34, were first linked in September, when she attended a Chiefs game in Kansas City. They have since made several appearances together as they support one another including Swift’s attendance at Chiefs games and Kelce cheering Swift on during her record-breaking Eras Tour.
They most recently spent both Christmas and New Year’s Eve together, with Swift bringing her family to Kelce’s game on Christmas Day and the two ringing in 2024 with a kiss at midnight.

Every Time Taylor Swift Went to the Golden Globes
Koy kicked off the show with a slew of jokes at several of the audience members’ expenses, including Saltburn star Barry Keoghan and Robert De Niro.
He asked how De Niro, who welcomed a daughter with his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, in April, managed to “get her pregnant at 80?”
The comedian then singled out Keoghan, 31, on a similar topic, and the actor lowered his head as Koy asked, “Where’s your penis seated? Down front?”
He continued of Keoghan’s full-frontal nude scene which concluded Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn, “That was the real star of the show.”.
Koy then said that something was “missing” in Barbie, compared to what was “dancing” in Saltburn, before landing a jab at Bradley Cooper and his prosthetic nose in Maestro.
