So it has proven these past few months, with Swift making newspaper headlines all over the world on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s no great surprise, then, that the 34-year-old has found herself one of the biggest talking points from this year\u2019s Golden Globes.<\/p>\n<p>The event took place on Sunday, January 7, in Beverly Hills, California, and saw a who\u2019s who of high-profile celebrities in attendance. Swift, who last year sold upwards of 17 million albums, was one of them, with her Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour film nominated for a Golden Globe in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6894-200x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6894-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6894-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6894.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While Swift\u2019s attendance was always likely to become a talking point anyway, the star went viral due to a joke made at her expense by the evening\u2019s host, comedian Jo Koy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s common practice for hosts of the big awards shows to poke a bit of fun at those sitting in the audience \u2013 see Ricky Gervais\u2019s Golden Globes offerings for reference \u2013 but Koy\u2019s monologue was largely criticized in the hours\/days after this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe came on after a football doubleheader,\u201d Koy said before introducing two presenters. \u201cThe big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL\u2026 On the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Koy\u2019s joke was in reference to Swift\u2019s new relationship with her aforementioned boyfriend, Travis Kelce, but neither Swift\u2019s immediate reaction \u2013 the singer simply sipped her champagne and retained a nondescript expression \u2013 nor the comments made by her legion of fans were overly positive.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 576px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3435-1\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/v14044g50000cme8r0fog65jo2nhdh8g.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/v14044g50000cme8r0fog65jo2nhdh8g.mp4\">https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/v14044g50000cme8r0fog65jo2nhdh8g.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>And while Koy\u2019s joke \u2013 while harmless enough \u2013 drove a lot of her followers to ire, it was nothing compared to the op-ed published by the New York Times that speculated whether or not Swift was a closeted queer person.<\/p>\n<p>A source with reported knowledge of the situation told CNN that the piece was not only \u201cin poor taste\u201d but also \u201cunethical\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The source said: \u201cThis article wouldn\u2019t have been allowed to be written about Shawn Mendes or any male artist whose sexuality has been questioned by fans.
