Comedian Jo Koy has addressed Taylor Swifts reaction to the joke he made about her at Sundays Golden Globes ceremony.
Koys opening monologue got mixed reviews at best, to the point where he blamed the shows comedy writers when jokes didnt hit.
But the most devastating burn may have been the silent reaction Swift gave when Koy joked, The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift
As the clip below amply demonstrates, the singer was not impressed, offering a blank look as she sipped a drink. The response to the joke even led to Koy apologizing.

In an interview with GMA3, Koy admitted that the Swift joke was a little flat and was a weird joke, I guess.
Still, he insisted that Swift wasnt the butt of the joke.
I was trying to make fun of the NFL using cutaways and how the Globes didnt have to do that. So it was more of a jab toward the NFL. But it just didnt come out that way, he said.
