At the 2024 Golden Globe Awards ceremony, comedian and host Joe Coy’s opening performance did not win the favor of the audience. Especially for Taylor Swift, this performance could be described as a disappointing start.
Joe Coy opened the ceremony with a series of jokes about Taylor Swift, but alas, the audience didn't laugh as much as he expected.
He mentioned her romance with NFL star Travis Kelce and her supportive behavior at his games as the difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL, alluding to the Golden Globes There are fewer shots of Taylor Swift. However, the joke only got a laugh out of Joe Coy himself, while the audience just chuckled politely.
Taylor Swift was visibly unhappy about this as she pursed her lips and took a sip of champagne, revealing her displeasure with Joe Coy.
British journalist Piers Morgan sarcastically said on Twitter, "If Taylor Swift's death stare could really kill people, Joe Coy would be dead by now."
It wasn't just Taylor Swift who was disappointed with Joe Coy's performance, other viewers weren't impressed by his jokes either.
Joe Coy continued to try to tease the movie "Barbie", but it also failed to gain the approval of the audience. He described the film as simply about a "plastic doll with huge breasts" in a crude joke, which elicited awkward laughter from the audience. The camera cuts to "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig and star Ryan Gosling, both of whom are dissatisfied with Joe Coy's performance.
More jokes fell through, forcing Joe Coy to defend himself.
He said on stage: "I got this job 10 days ago! You guys want a perfect opening act? Hey, shut up. I wrote some of these jokes and you're laughing at them."
's defense did not change the feelings of the audience, who still had reservations about Joe Coy's performance. The ceremony continued, but it got off to an awkward start with Joe Coy's opening act, in which he failed to win the affection and admiration of the audience. I hope that in future events, the hosts will choose their jokes more carefully to avoid embarrassing situations from happening again.
