Trevor Noah’s Defense Of Taylor Swift At The 2024 Grammys Isn’t As Nice As You Think

At first glance, it seems like Trevor Noah was playing knight in shining armor at the 2024 Grammys. He came to Taylor Swift’s defense by rightly pointing out she has no say in the coverage she gets from the NFL just for sitting in the bleachers at Chiefs games. Noah even followed up by joking, “I’m gonna get revenge. Every time someone says ‘Taylor Swift,’ I’m going to cut the cameras to someone who plays football” (via People). True to his word, the cameras cut to actor and former football player Terry Crews.

Funny, sure. Praiseworthy? That’s debatable. As the former host of “The Daily Show,” Noah is well aware of what makes a juicy news item, and he knew a Taylor Swift mention would be an easy way to land on the top of Google lists and entertainment home pages (ahem). Positioning himself as the singer’s protector also implied Swift needs a man to come to her rescue. Um, shouldn’t we be over the whole damsel-in-distress thing by now? Most of all, referencing the relationship (TayTrav? SwElcie?) was an unnecessary attention-grabber. Instead of being honored as a major artist, Noah’s joke reduced her to mere “girlfriend of” status.

It’s bad enough Taylor Swift is being positioned as Donald Trump’s rival through bizarre right-wing conspiracy theories. She deserved at least one special night just to be acknowledged for her work and one of her best albums yet.
