As the anticipation mounted at the Grammys, Trevor Noah took the stage with his trademark wit, ready to entertain the star-studded audience. His monologue kicked off with nods to the illustrious guests in attendance, none other than Taylor Swift and Meryl Streep.
In a moment of jest, Noah playfully pointed out Mark Ronson’s special connection to Streep, quipping, “His mother-in-law is none other than Meryl Streep herself! Can you believe it? We’ve got royalty in the house, folks!” Streep then made a surprise entrance, gracefully gliding to her seat as Noah marveled at her presence.
But the surprises didn’t end there. Swift, accompanied by her entourage, including Jack Antonoff, made her grand entrance, prompting Noah to improvise once more. With his quick wit, he remarked, “I say the names, and they appear! Taylor Swift, ladies and gentlemen! Jack Antonoff, ladies and gentlemen! It’s like magic!”
Amid the laughter, Noah couldn’t resist poking fun at the NFL’s alleged obsession with Swift, joking, “Let her live, NFL fans! In fact, I’ll make a deal. Every time Taylor Swift is mentioned, I’ll cut to someone who played football.” Cue the camera cutting to ex-pro football player Terry Crews, much to the audience’s delight.
Throughout his monologue, Noah continued to sprinkle humor on various topics, from the star-studded audience to technology and the music industry. With his sharp wit and infectious energy, Noah set the tone for what promised to be a memorable evening at the Grammys.
Hosting the Grammys for the fourth consecutive time, Noah’s charm and humor once again captivated audiences, making for an entertaining start to the prestigious awards ceremony.
