Trevor Noah has come out in support of Taylor Swift amidst criticisms from NFL fans over the frequent camera cuts to her during football broadcasts. During his opening monologue at the Grammys, Noah kept the tone positive and complimentary, before addressing the pop superstar’s presence in the NFL broadcasts. He humorously pointed out that Swift isn’t in charge of the cameras and urged people to relax, adding, “every time someone mentioned Swift, he’d make sure the cameras cut to an ex-NFL player.”
Following this declaration, the camera unexpectedly switched to Terry Crews, the actor and “America’s Got Talent” host, who appeared surprised by the sudden spotlight. Crews, who played in the NFL from 1991 to 1995 across three teams, was the unwitting target of Noah’s playful revenge strategy.
Crews responded with laughter as Noah continued to jest, playfully taunting the impressively fit 55-year-old. The joke was timely, given Swift’s anticipated appearance at the upcoming Super Bowl in Las Vegas, hinting at more Swift sightings for NFL fans.
In a side note, Swift graced the Grammy red carpet in a stunning white dress, attending solo due to her partner Travis Kelce’s practice commitments.
Noah’s lighthearted warning to Crews to keep smiling underscored the fun nature of the evening, playfully cautioning against any candid moments becoming viral memes.
