The Golden Globe Awards ceremony had memorable moments and others that caused controversy and criticism. One of them was Taylor Swift’s reaction when the host of the 81st Golden Globe Awards, Jo Koy, made a joke about her that she didn’t find funny.

Comedian Joseph Glenn Herbert, better known as Jo Koy, made his debut as a presenter at this gala, and he was not without controversy due to some unfortunate comments about the singer and the films “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer”.

Many missed the irony of Ricky Gervais, who presented the Golden Globes five times, and was replaced by an American comedian who caused controversy among the guests and on social networks, reports El Mundo.

Comments from Jo Koy at the Golden Globe Awards

The comedian had a tough night as host, as he had a very tense moment when he described Barbie as a movie “based on a doll with big breasts” and sunk in even more when he said the film’s key moment was when she “goes from perfect beauty to bad bad breath, cellulite and flat feet.”

Furthermore, regarding Christopher Nolan’s film, Koy hinted that he found it long and tedious. “I loved Oppenheimer. I only have one complaint: I needed another hour, because I felt I needed more backstory. My 2024 New Year’s resolution is to finish Oppenheimer in 2025,” he mentioned.

What did Jo Koy say about Taylor Swift?

Despite trying to make at least a smile among the audience, the presenter of the Golden Globes told several jokes that many did not like, but the one that made fun of Taylor Swift was the most disturbing.

“The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL is that there are fewer shots of Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes,” Koy said, as the camera focused on Swift looking disgruntled and sipping a glass of wine.

The joke was about the amount of media attention the singer has received since she started dating Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

Swift was not alone in her discomfort, as her friend Selena Gomez came to her table to comfort her and share some stories with her, according to photos of the event published by Page Six.

Taylor Swift’s sexuality questioned

Time at the Golden Globes wasn’t the only awkward moment the “Cruel Summer” singer had to deal with in recent days, as The New York Times published an article speculating about her sexual orientation.

The author of the article, Anna Marks, listed a number of LGBTQIA+ references, explicit or implicit, that Swift included in her songs and performances. He then suggested that the singer may be trying to imply that she identifies with the queer community. The text was criticized as “invasive, false and inappropriate”, according to CNN.

The same media points out that the music star, who became Time magazine’s person of the year, has always publicly supported the gay community. In addition, he stated that his concerts are a “safe space” for LGBTQIA+ people. However, he made it clear that he was not part of the community. (AND)
