Taylor Swift's humbled reaction to defeat as she loses Golden Globe to Barbie
Taylor Swift found herself losing out to another globally famous blonde American icon at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
The chart-topping star was pipped to the post for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award when her Eras Tour concert film lost out to Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's Barbie. The long-awaited blockbuster also beat off competition from board-sweeping Oppenheimer, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and The Super Mario Bros. Movie to bag the award.
Taylor took the loss well as she led a standing ovation as Margot and director Greta Gerwig took to the stage alongside other members of the cast and crew to collect the award. Expressing her gratitude for the success of the film Margot said: "Thank you. We would like to dedicate this to every single person on the planet who dressed up and went to the greatest place on Earth, the movie theaters. Thank you, and thank you to everybody, all the Barbies and Kens in front of and behind the screen.

And on behalf of Tom and David and Robbie and I, we want to thank the brave individuals at Warner and Mattel for taking an extraordinary risk in literally inventing numbers to justify green lighting this, and then standing by at every step of the way."

Margot then name-checked her co-stars as she continued her acceptance speech and further admitted her passion for the project adding: "Thank you to Noah Baumbach for showing his inner Barbie girl. Thank you to Ryan Gosling for going full beach. And America Ferrera for showing her soul.
"Last but not least, thank you so much to the Golden Globes for creating an award that celebrates movie fans. This is a movie about Barbie, but it's also a movie about humans. We made it - it's about you. We made it for you, and we made it with love. Thank you for loving it back."

Elsewhere Taylor's bestie Emma Stone had a successful night when she was awarded Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her role in Poor Things. She fended off competition from Alma Pöysti for Fallen Leaves, Fantasia Barrino for The Color Purple (2023), Jennifer Lawrence for No Hard Feelings, Margot Robbie for Barbie, and Natalie Portman for May December to win the coveted prize.
