Grammy Award viewers praise Trevor for tasteful Taylor Swift joke

Grammy Award show viewers praised host Trevor Noah as he landed a hilarious-yet-tasteful joke about Taylor Swift following the intense backlash Golden Globe's host Jo Koy faced after his quip at the pop singer.

At the 66th annual award show Trevor treaded treacherous waters as he attempted to make a joke about the controversy Taylor's created with NFL fans. In recent months, football fans have complained as cameras often cut from the field to Taylor's reactions at the NFL games as she goes to support her boyfriend Kansas City Chief's athlete Travis Kelce. But unlike comedian Jo Koy's joke that Taylor was clearly upset about, Taylor and all her fans all cracked up at the clever punchline Trevor landed at the Grammy's.

During Trevor's opening monologue, Trevor said: "I think it is so unfair how NFL fans have been complaining about the cameras cutting to Taylor Swift. Right? Like she's controlling the cameras at the games. Like, just let her live, let her live."

He continued: "Every time the camera cuts to her I'm going to get revenge. Every time it cuts to Taylor Swift I'm going to cut to someone who played football. That's what I'll do - cut just like that." The camera then cut to former football player and actor Terry Crews to which Trevor asked: "You like that Terry Cruz? You better fix your face Terry. Yeah we're going to be on you all night Terry, no relaxing for you. Do you work for the CIA Terry? Huh? I can read lips Terry so I can read what you're saying."

The camera then cut to both Terry and Taylor's faces as they both covered their faces and cracked up at witty joke. The popstar's fans took to X, formerly Twitter, showering the host with love and comparing him to Jo Koy. One fan wrote: "THAT is how you make a joke about taylor swift!!!" Another agreed: "THAT is how you joke about Taylor and the NFL. Note that she’s laughing. Because it’s funny, not rude and lame." And a third wrote: "See what happens when you have comedian as a Host who knows comedy."

This comes as Swifties were outraged at Jo's jab at Taylor at the Golden Globe Awards during which he made a brutal joke about the NFL controversy. During his opener, Jo said: "The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift... there’s just more to go to here." After the joke the crowd shared a half-hearted pity laugh as Taylor was tight-lipped and sonic as she took a sip of her drink and looked down at the ground.
