Taylor Swift recently took Trevor Noah's NFL joke in good stride. During the show, host Trevor humorously remarked, "I think it is so unfair how NFL fans have been complaining about the cameras panning to Taylor Swift like she’s controlling the cameras at the game. Just let her live."

Trevor playfully poked fun at football enthusiasts for criticizing the pop star, especially after she began dating Travis Kelce. Addressing the fans, the former Daily Show host joked, "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." He added, "Every time someone says Taylor Swift, I’m gonna cut the cameras to someone who played football, that’s what I’ll do. Cut!"

Interestingly, Taylor didn’t take offense at Trevor’s jest; instead, she laughed along with the joke. Noah’s humorous remark garnered applause from Swifties, who compared it to Jo Koy's joke at the Golden Globes which didn’t sit well with Taylor.

Fans took to social media, particularly X (formerly known as Twitter), to express their appreciation for Trevor. One fan wrote, “Trevor Noah is killing it as the Grammy's host. This is how you make a joke with Taylor as a punchline. He then went on to lift up Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, and Billie Eilish. He's generating laughter AND love without misogyny.”

Another fan added, “Trevor Noah is such a good host like he’s referencing stuff that are current jokes (like the Kelly Clarkson joke, Taylor Swift NFL, TikTok removing music) but he’s not making it cringe he sounds natural.”
