The night of The Golden Globe Awards was a fun and happening one with renowned members of the film industry gathered to be recognized for their contributions to the art of cinema. Surprisingly, singer Taylor Swift was also seen appearing as one of the nominees for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category award for her latest concert film.
Everyone noticed this rare appearance since it was such a rare occasion to witness the Grammy Award-winning singer be present for the night and first time as a nominee no less. Thus, host Jo Koy decided to commemorate this moment by making a joke about her relationship with her boyfriend Travis Kelce, which he would later find out left her unimpressed. Still, at the same time, the fans were impressed by her reactions.
Taylor Swift Seemed Unimpressed By Jo Koy’s Dig At Her Relationship With Travis Kelce
As the night of the Golden Globes continued, it was soon time to announce the next category of nominees and who among them won the next award. In between, we saw first-time host Jo Koy sliding some jokes and digs at other stars and filmmakers present there. And later, he would also take a sly dig at Taylor Swift, who was present there as a nominee this time.

The Bad Blood singer’s latest film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour was nominated for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category, which is why she graced the venue with her rare presence. Thus, Koy decided to take a dig at her relationship with her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The joke he was trying to make was the absurd amount of appearances that the singer made on-screen during the NFL’s game broadcasts because of her presence at the Chiefs’ matches, and the cameras would mostly be pointing to her, which sure did get some laughs from the audience.

But Swift, on the other hand, not only didn’t laugh but had practically no expression on her face at all while taking a sip of her drink, which made the entire joke fall flat. Her seemingly unimpressive expression made Koy apologize for this dig and continued with the show. In the end, it was Barbie who took home the award her film was nominated for as well.

How Did the Fans React To This?
Naturally, her candid response, or the lack thereof, was hilarious and a seemingly natural reaction to the host’s cheeky dig, which the fans believe was poorly executed in terms of the comedic factor.

Despite his best efforts, it was hard to get out of this since the star, who was the butt of the joke here, didn’t like it herself.
