The Internet Is Praising Trevor Noah For His "Respectful But Funny" Jokes About Taylor Swift At The Grammys

Last month, Jo Koy hosted the Golden Globes and made a now-infamous joke about Taylor Swift.

"The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift," the comedian said. The camera cut to Taylor, who looked less than amused.

This sparked a huge social media storm with people arguing over the merit of the joke, her reaction, and his comedic skills. A few days later, Jo himself chimed in. On GMA3: What You Need to Know, he said, "I think it was when the Taylor one was just a little flat... It was a weird joke, I guess. It was more on the NFL... I was trying to make fun of the NFL using cutaways and how the Globes didn’t have to do that. So it was more of a jab toward the NFL. But it just didn’t come out that way."

Well! The 66th Grammy Awards are happening tonight, with Trevor Noah as our host. And even after all the blowback Jo received, he was brave enough to attempt a Taylor Swift joke. Several, in fact!

As the pop star walked in, he pointed her out. "Are you seeing what's happening right now? As Taylor Swift moves through the room, the local economy around those tables improves."

"Can you see you get this magic right now? Look at this magic. Lionel Richie, now Lionel Wealthy. Look at that."

He also made an NFL joke.

"I think it is so unfair how NFL fans have been complaining about the cameras cutting to Taylor Swift, like she's controlling the cameras at the games. Alright? Let her live."

"In fact, tonight, on Taylor’s behalf, you know what I’m going to do? I’m gonna give her a break. Every time they mention Taylor Swift, I’m gonna get revenge. Every time someone says Taylor Swift, I’m gonna cut the cameras to someone who plays football. Cut, bam."

The camera cut to Terry Crews, who looked super surprised and gave a big smile.

And the camera turned over to Taylor, who was cracking up!

Obviously, the internet had a lot to say about the jokes:
