Thursday’s NFL Honors, which recognizes the season’s best players and performances, the comedian, 52, arrived at his hosting gig with jokes aplenty. In his opening monologue, Key spotlighted the league’s breakout story of the season: the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s high-profile relationship with the pop superstar.

“Of course, we’re going to talk about Travis and Taylor. I think they’re both great, and I’m happy for them,” began the comedian. “But Travis Kelce, you know this isn’t the first time a player has dated a singer. There’s Russell [Wilson] and Ciara. There was Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson. And, of course, there was Peyton Manning and Brad Paisley.”

The Wonka star pointed out that the singer is currently in Japan on her Eras Tour — and used the opportunity to make fun of the NFL’s worst team last season. “It’s my understanding that Taylor Swift is in Tokyo right now. But the only person further from the Super Bowl is the Carolina Panthers,” joked Key.
