"Wildly inappropriate" - Social media erupts in criticism of comedian's 'sexist' joke on Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been targeted on Netflix's "Torching 2024: A Roast of a Year."

Hannah Berner’s punchline has given rise to controversy instead of laughter in a roast meant to burn. The joke she delivered attacked one of pop culture’s power couples: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

“So hot right now. Who knew, besides Travis Kelce, that you could become so popular with women by shooting loads into a billionaire?”

The joke used a crude play on words. It suggested that Kelce’s growing popularity, especially among women, is because he’s dating Swift, a billionaire and a global star. The phrase "shooting loads" is a vulgar term related to sexual activity. This implies that Swift's relationship with the three-time Super Bowl champion is the main reason for his fame.

Fans took to X and reacted to it.

"Not to be too woke but that was wildly inappropriate," one fan wrote.

"Hannah Burner is not funny," another fan commented.

"I really liked her, but this is just disappointing and not funny at all," a fan said.

More "Swifties" and NFL fans weighed in with their opinions.

"oof that is such a bad taste joke," a fan tweeted.

"i kinda liked her before but she should learn the phrase "less talk, less mistakes," one fan wrote.

"the audience didn’t seem to laugh much reacted more with a shocked emotion lol," a fan commented.

Travis Kelce has been enjoying all the heightened attention on him ever since he started dating Taylor Swift

During an interview with Extra in November, Donna Kelce shared insight into her son, Travis Kelce's love for the limelight.

“He’s always been one to be in the limelight," Donna said. "He loves attention. I mean it, he’s always dancing, always joking around, always having fun. He just loves life.”

Travis and Swift went public with their relationship in September 2023. They have since been inseparable.

Taylor has been spotted at over a dozen of his games while Travis supported her during her record-breaking "Eras Tour."

“He’s a good guy," Donna said at the premiere of Travis’ new show to 'Page Six.' "He really is. He’s good. He’s kind. He’s generous."

She also talked highly of Swift.

"And from what I understand, so is she. I hope they’re having a good time," Donna said.

Donna is also proud that Travis has handled his newfound fame over dating Taylor Swift "pretty well."
