Taylor Swift left unimpressed after Golden Globes host calls her out on stage

This year's highly-anticipated Golden Globes awards ceremony definitely did not seem to be short of any drama.

Fans have already been sent into a frenzy over what was said between Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift that provoked such a shocked reaction, but the latest Swiftie news follows the 'Bad Blood' singer looking visibly unimpressed after host, Jo Koy, called her out on stage.

Taylor's reaction has since gone viral on social media and fans seem totally divided on their opinions over Jo's comments.

In the clip, Jo can be heard saying: "We came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL… On the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift."

"Sorry about that," he added shortly after.

The camera then panned to Taylor, who was nominated in the new blockbuster film category for her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, looking for from amused as she sipped her drink.

People have since rushed to social media to share their reactions to Jo's comments with one, X, formerly Twitter, user writing: "I’m not a Taylor Swift fan but that was just a mean spirited joke."

A second penned: "It wasn’t a good joke," while a third said: "That was painful to watch."

A fourth chimed in: "If it was cringe but funny, then fine. This is just unfunny."

"He's so cringe. Who even is that?" hit out a fifth while a sixth slammed: "That was unnecessary!!!"

Others, however, felt a little differently about the situation.

"I mean—he’s saying what we’re all thinking," wrote one Twitter user.

"The joke was directed at the NFL not at Taylor," pointed out another. "I think she’s used to the attention for crying out loud. Besides, it’s the job of the host to engage the audience in attendance and poke fun at them.

"The comment was pretty gentle. Lighten up."

A third echoed: "It’s the truth and funny. Taylor needs to calm down."

"I don't know why people is acting like it's a shot at Taylor, he is taking a shot at the NFL," echoed a fourth.

Another tweeted: "I thought it was funny, I dunno why people don’t think it was … if you ever watch a Chief's game they keep showing Taylor."

A final Twitter user added: "I don’t think the joke was that bad. But he shouldn’t have apologised, the delivery was bad."

What do you make of it?
