Jokes about Taylor Swift’s dating life? That’s “So High School.”
Bill Maher made a dig at the pop superstar on his show, “Real Time With Bill Maher,” Friday, poking fun at her ongoing relationship with Travis Kelce.
“This world is so upside down now. It took [President] Trump three weeks to break up with Ukraine and Mexico, and Canada,” the comedian began, while dissing the commander-in-chief’s diplomatic policies.
“And yet, Taylor Swift has the same boyfriend for over a year.”
Several famous figures have chosen to make jabs at the “Fortnight” singer, 35, over the years.
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl recently caught flack for suggesting Swift doesn’t perform live and “Dance Moms” alum Abby Lee Miller said the singer’s moves were “difficult to watch.”
Like Maher, 69, other comics have also used Swift’s dating history to get a laugh from their audience — even though she dated actor Joe Alwyn for six years before calling it quits in 2023, prior to Kelce.
Comedian Hannah Berner sparked backlash for making a “sexist” joke about the “Lover” singer’s romance with Kelce, 35, during Netflix’s “Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year.”
“Who knew besides Travis Kelce that you could become so popular with women by shooting loads into a billionaire?” the “Summer House” alum, 33, joked at the time.
Swift’s reputation as a serial dater who makes songs about her exes has long preceded her current relationship.
In 2021, the Netflix series “Ginny & Georgia” made a “slut-shaming” comment regarding the “Shake It Off” singer’s romantic past. The character of Ginny (played by Antonia Gentry) told her mother on the show that she goes through men “faster than Taylor Swift” in the Season 1 finale.
In addition to the many Swifties calling out series online, Swift responded to the joke by calling it “lazy” and “deeply sexist.”
“How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse s – – t as FuNnY,” she wrote via X at the time, tagging Netflix.
Swift also told the streamer that after her feminist documentary “Miss Americana,” “this outfit doesn’t look cute on you. Happy Women’s History Month I guess.”
