Trevor Noah opened the Grammys with a monologue about all of the celebs in attendance and that included Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift was on the receiving end of an NFL joke she could enjoy at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday.
During the live broadcast from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, host Trevor Noah blasted NFL fans for criticizing the attention the pop star has been getting since she started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.
“By the way, I think it’s so unfair how NFL fans have been complaining about the cameras cutting to Taylor Swift,” Noah continued. “Like she’s controlling the cameras at the games? Let her live. In fact, on behalf of Taylor, I’m going to give her a break. Every time Taylor Swift is mentioned, I’m going to cut to someone who played football. That’s what I will do.”
Noah then had the camera cut to ex-pro football player Terry Crews.
“Oh yeah, you like that Terry Crews?” Noah continued. “You better fix your face Terry!” Noah shouted.
Swift loved it all:
