Pop sensation Taylor Swift made headlines at the Golden Globes for an unexpected reason. Despite her usual winning streak, Swift’s “Eras Tour” film did not take home the award in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category, losing to “Barbie.” This loss, coupled with a lighthearted jab from host Jo Koy, seemed to have prompted Swift to leave the event earlier than expected.
Key Takeaway
Taylor Swift’s early departure from the Golden Globes following her film’s loss and a playful jab by Jo Koy has sparked discussions among fans and media outlets.
Swift’s Disappearance and Response
After “Barbie” was announced as the winner, fans quickly noticed Swift’s absence from the crowd at the Beverly Hilton. Speculations arose online, with some suggesting that she had left the event following the announcement. However, it’s worth noting that Swift was seen giving a standing ovation to the “Barbie” cast and crew, indicating that her departure may not have been a direct reaction to the loss.
According to a source at the award show, Swift initially left her seat to visit the restroom during the Cinematic Achievement category and later watched the remainder of the show from the back. She ultimately left the venue around 15 minutes before the conclusion of the Globes.
Jo Koy’s Joke
Adding to the evening’s events, Swift was also the subject of a light-hearted joke by host Jo Koy. The comedian humorously compared the camera shots of Swift at the NFL to those at the Golden Globes, which appeared to visibly irk Swift. It’s possible that this moment contributed to her decision to depart after her category was announced.
It’s worth mentioning that Swift’s partner, Travis Kelce, was also in town on the same day but reportedly flew back to Kansas City with the Chiefs after their victory over the L.A. Chargers.
