Swifties Were Ripped Apart For Taking Offense To Tina Fey’s Joke Of Taylor Swift Not Being Able To Date Michael J. Fox’s Son

Looking back at the history of hosts at the Golden Globes, few did it better than Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. However, it seemed like someone did take exception to their jokes, and that included none other than Taylor Swift. It was reported that Swift wasn’t happy at the dig the two took at her love life. In truth, the joke was very tame, and referenced a past statement made by Michael J. Fox.

“You know what Taylor Swift? You stay away from Michael J Fox’s son,” said Fey. “Or go for it,” Poehler replied. “No, she needs some me-time to learn about herself.”

So where did this all stem from? It was all started by Michael J. Fox, who said he didn’t want his son dating the artist.

“No. No …. Just back off, he said. “I don’t keep up with it all,” he said. “But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career.”

Taylor Swift’s fans immediately went into defense mode.

One fan wrote, “Everyone acts like Taylor is the only one writing about her relationship experiences… when almost every single artists does the exact same thing. It is so WEIRD to me that it’s only ever a problem for Taylor. I think it’s out of pure envy that she is as insanely successful as she is. It’s always been a trend to hate on Taylor. Nearly EVERY artist writes about love & heartbreak, hardly any of them are able to add the storytelling element to it the way Taylor does.”

“If anyone was going to get mad at us, I thought it would be James Cameron,” Fey revealed.

“I did not see that one coming. It was a joke. It was a lighthearted joke.” Poehler added, “Aw, I feel bad if she was upset. I am a feminist, and she is a young and talented girl. That being said, I do agree I am going to hell. But for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff.”

“These gigs, these hosting gigs are brutal. They’re just brutal. If you don’t know the room, if you’ve not been in these rooms before and you’re thrust out there, it’s hit or miss.”

“I don’t know whether it was the room or the jokes, I didn’t get to see it, but I do know that he’s as good as it gets when it comes to stand-ups. It’s not an easy gig. If you read any of the reviews of some of the gigs that I’ve had, where they just wished me into the cornfields, die on the vine, it’s not an easy gig.”

Sara Haines in particular took exception to Swift’s reaction. “What bothers me more in watching this is, get a sense of humor, because we need to protect these national treasures called our comedians, because life needs them.”

“We need to stop binding them in, fencing them in. In that room, Jo Koy is punching up. No one feels sorry. Just smile.”

Swift clearly did not show any remorse.
