Emma Stone Apologizes to Taylor Swift After Backlash Over Golden Globes Comment
Golden Globe-winning actress Emma Stone has publicly apologized to her longtime friend Taylor Swift following her controversial remark during the 2024 Golden Globes. Stone, 35, was heard referring to Swift as an “a-hole” while conversing with members of the press. However, Stone has now expressed regret for her comment and clarified that it was taken out of context.
Do Not Make the Same Mistake Twice
In an interview with Variety, Stone admitted her mistake and stated, “I definitely won’t make a joke like that again, because I saw headlines that really pulled it out of context. What a dope.” She emphasized her 20-year friendship with Swift and expressed her gratitude for Swift’s presence at the awards ceremony.
Ample Support from Fellow Celebrities
Swift’s nomination for the inaugural cinematic and box office achievement award meant that other A-list celebrities were also present to witness Stone’s triumph. Among them was actress Jennifer Lawrence, who, despite being a competitor, enthusiastically celebrated Stone’s win. Lawrence even playfully expressed her anticipation, causing a stir on social media.
Ultimate Friends’ Reunion
The friendship between Stone and Swift dates back to 2008. Since then, the two have continually supported each other and attended numerous events together. Stone’s unfortunate remark did not dampen their solid rapport as friends, as it was evident that Swift bore no ill feelings towards Stone, based on her viral intense glare at comedian Jo Koy, who made an unnecessary joke about Swift during the awards ceremony.
A Night of Ups and Downs
The 2024 Golden Globes, hosted by Jo Koy, was met with mixed reactions. Koy’s monologue failed to impress audiences. Acknowledging the weak reaction, the late addition host astutely blamed the writers while trying to salvage the situation. Unfortunately, one of Koy’s attempts to poke fun at Taylor Swift and her connections with NFL player Travis Kelce did not go down well, resulting in a stern response from Swift herself.
Despite the event’s mixed reactions, Emma Stone’s apology showcased the importance of friendship and the need to avoid misunderstandings. Both Stone and Swift have proven their enduring bond, setting an example for others to follow in the industry.
