In a surprising turn of events, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian fans have found themselves on the same side – united against Tom Brady’s jokes during his Netflix roast special, “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.”
The long-standing feud between Taylor and Kim, fueled by Kanye West’s 2016 track “Famous” and Taylor’s recent album “The Tortured Poets Department,” seemed worlds apart from a potential alliance. However, Tom Brady managed to bridge the gap with his controversial remarks.
Targeting Taylor’s Boyfriend & Fans
The drama unfolded when Brady took aim at Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Taylor has been a vocal supporter, attending most games and contributing to a surge in NFL viewership. Brady’s dig came in the form of a jab at the Chiefs’ fanbase: “Kansas City, you say your stadium is the loudest… it helps when all your fans are 14-year-old girls.”
This tasteless remark sparked outrage from Taylor’s devoted fans. On Pop Base’s X (formerly Twitter) account, comments like “How sad” and “Disappointing… resorting to using Taylor Swift for clout” flooded the thread, highlighting the distaste for Brady’s humor.

Kim Kardashian Gets Collateral Damage
Tom’s roasting spree didn’t stop there. He went on to address rumors of a potential relationship with Kim Kardashian, prompting her to take the stage and clarify: “Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were rumors… I’d never say if we did; I’d just release the tape.”
While Kim’s response deflected the dating rumors, Tom’s subsequent joke referencing her ex-husband Kanye West landed poorly. He quipped, “Kim was terrified to be here tonight… not because of this, but because her kids are at home with their dad.”

“She’s had a lot of Black men celebrating her end-zone. Kim, word of advice, close your legs. You have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.”

Double Trouble: Jokes About Kanye & Kim‘s Relationships
Adding fuel to the fire, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe piled on with a remark about Kim’s past relationships, using offensive stereotypes: “She’s had a lot of Black men celebrating her end-zone… Kim, here is a word of advice: close your legs. You have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.”
This insensitive joke sparked widespread criticism. Netizens expressed their disapproval, stating, “That’s not even funny” and “Absolutely ridiculous how she was treated.”
A New Kind of Alliance
The night’s events fostered an unexpected alliance between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian fans. Both groups found Tom Brady and Tony Hinchcliffe’s jokes to be disrespectful and out of line.
This incident highlights the importance of responsible humor and the power of fans uniting for a common cause, even if it’s against a seemingly untouchable sports legend like Tom Brady.
