During his 2024 NFL Honors monologue, comic actor Keegan Michael Key set up some absolutely brutal roasts during the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce portion of his monologue.
Key found a way to make some absolutely hysterical jokes about the biggest power couple in the NFL without even vaguely saying anything about Swift and Kelce.
Instead, he used the couple as a set-up to poke fun at the lowly Carolina Panthers and their awful 2023 season and former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s miserable final year in Foxborough.
When we say these are funny, we mean it. These ziners are top-tier NFL Honors awards monologue material.

Keegan Michael-Key: “Taylor Swift is in Tokyo right now. The only thing farther from the Super Bowl is the Carolina Panthers.”
Ouch.

“Who would’ve thought we’d see a season where Taylor Swift went to more playoff games than Bill Belichick?!”

You really don’t normally get this sharp of jokes during an awards ceremony, much less one that recognizes NFL awards.
Kudos to Key for these hysterical one-liners that managed to feature the biggest couple in the NFL without being about the biggest couple in the NFL.
