Taylor Swift proved once again that green is her color — and a glittery dress on her will never go out of style. The Grammy winner, 34, stole the show at the 2024 Golden Globes several times, stunning onlookers in a glistening lime green Gucci gown that accentuated her curves.
While the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker didn’t stay long at the ceremony, her eye-catching ensemble certainly grabbed the attention of many Swifties on social media, who were quick to note the custom frock’s snakeskin-esque sequins harkened back to her beloved Reputation era.
Unfortunately, not all attention Swift received on the evening of January 7th was positive, as host Jo Koy faced backlash for making a joke at her expense, poking fun at her habit of attending her boyfriend Travis Kelce‘s Kansas City Chiefs games. Despite this, Swift maintained a stoic expression and remained the picture of grace and composure.

Did Taylor Swift Reference Her 'Reputation' & 'Debut' Eras In Her Sequined Lime Green Gown?
Swift's green dress for the event featured a flirty low-cut neckline and figure-hugging fit. The "Lavender Haze" songwriter added matching Christian Louboutin pumps and dazzled up her look even more with dangly silver earrings.
As for her glam, Swift wore her dirty blonde tresses and bags down and styled into elegant loose waves. For her makeup look, the 1989 (Taylor's Version) artist rocked black cat-eye liner, shimmering silver eyeshadow, sky-high lashes and rosy blush on her high cheekbones. She topped it all off with a shiny dark pink pout.
At the 2024 Golden Globes, Swift's concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour was nominated for the 'Cinematic and Box Office Achievement' award. This year, the trophy went to Greta Gerwig's hit Barbie film. Previously, Swift has received five Golden Globe nominations throughout her career in the 'Best Original Song – Motion Picture' category.
Soon after she hit the red carpet, fans on X (formerly Twitter) began sharing why they thought the gown was "giving her 2017 Reputation era," as one wrote. Others, however, thought she might have also been paying homage to her 2006 self-titled record, as one tweeted: "That's Debut Green, not Reputation Green." (These are the final two albums Swift has yet to re-record and release as she continues to revisit and revamp her discography).
Golden Globes Host Jo Koy Falls Flat With Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Joke
Swift was visibly unimpressed by Golden Globes host Koy's joke about her budding romance and the media attention surrounding it. Koy, 52, made a joke during the event while acknowledging Swift's attendance. The "Cruel Summer" singer sat next to Miles Teller's wife, Keleigh Sperry and maintained a serious expression while sipping her drink as Koy referred to the attention she receives when attending her beau Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs games.
"The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL — on the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift," Koy said. He then added: "I swear, there’s just more to go to." As the camera then turned to Swift to gauge her reaction to the joke, she took a sip of her drink.
On X, many fans deemed the host's quips to be "distasteful" and "insulting." One tweeted: "Taylor Swift wasn’t amused [...] the best jokes are the ones the subject will laugh at. This one missed the mark tbh." Another replied: "He aimed, he fired and missed."
Swift and Kelce, 34, have been spotted together several times since they were first linked in September. They have supported each other at their individual career events, with Swift cheering him on at Chiefs games and Kelce attending her Eras Tour shows. Recently, they spent Christmas and New Year's Eve together, with Swift even bringing her family to one of Kelce's games. They also shared a kiss at midnight to ring in the new year.
Taylor Swift & Selena Gomez Go Viral After Appearing To Spill Tea
Another viral moment during the 2024 Golden Globes night featured Swift, her longtime bestie Selena Gomez, and their mutual friend Sperry, 31, who were spotted seemingly gossiping while sitting at a table. Rumors then spread like wildfire online, suggesting that Gomez was talking about Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner.
The following day, Gomez, 31, dismissed the rumors and explained what she dished to Swift and Teller in a comment beneath an E! News Instagram post. "Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s [anyone's] business," Gomez wrote. One insider also supposedly revealed to People Magazine that Gomez "was absolutely not referencing anything about Timothée or Kylie."
Many fans claimed that Gomez had asked to take a photo with Chalamet, 28, and that his girlfriend Jenner, 26, said no to the Rare Beauty mogul's request. The source also stressed to the outlet that Gomez "never even saw or spoke to" the couple.
