Megyn Kelly criticized Taylor Swift for not being a good sport about Jo Koy’s Travis Kelce joke at the 2024 Golden Globes. Koy made a lighthearted remark about the limited camera shots of Swift compared to NFL games, leading Swift to glare at him.
Kelly expressed that Swift should have shown she was a good sport and laughed at the joke, emphasizing that the number of camera shots is not under her control. Kelly suggested that Swift’s facial expression conveyed defensiveness about her popularity.
Despite the incident, Swift continued her girls’ night with Selena Gomez and Keleigh Sperry but left the ceremony early after losing in her category.
“Can’t she just like show that she’s a good sport? I think she made the wrong move,” Kelly said on her SiriusXM show, adding that his zinger was a “gentle swipe.”
“By the way, she’s not in charge with the number of times the NFL chooses to put her on cam. That’s not her fault,” she continued.
Swift’s animated conversation with her friends also sparked debate, with a theory suggesting they discussed Timothée Chalamet’s refusal to take a photo with Gomez, later confirmed by a lip reader.
Despite the speculation, a source close to Swift denied the claim about Gomez discussing the celebrity encounter.
Opening monologues are designed to generate some controversy, and in this particular instance, Jo Koy’s NFL joke achieved that goal.
