During the 2024 ESPYs, Serena Williams didn’t hold back when it came to roasting celebrities. She started off by congratulating the Kansas City Chiefs and then took a jab at star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Williams joked about the couple reportedly spending a hefty amount on their romance, even comparing it to the Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown’s beard expenses.
Despite Serena’s humorous comments, both Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were noticeably absent from the event. Kelce was spotted at a karaoke competition while Swift was gearing up for her concert in Milan. However, Kelce managed to win the competition and gave a shout-out to Swift while accepting his trophy, showing their support for each other.
Aside from Kelce and Swift, Serena’s close friend Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were also present at the ESPYs. Prince Harry received the prestigious Pat Tillman Award for Service, highlighting his commitment to charitable work. Serena didn’t stop at Kelce and Swift though; she also took a light-hearted dig at NBA star LeBron James during the event.
Williams didn’t limit her jokes to athletes, as she also threw a playful diss at rapper Drake. Reflecting on the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Serena warned against picking fights with the wrong people. She humorously predicted Drake being “Forrest Gump-ed” at a Raptors game if he doesn’t watch his back, joking about the potential consequences of his Canadian background.
Serena Williams brought her A-game to the 2024 ESPYs, showcasing her wit and humor as the host of the event. Her ability to poke fun at celebrities from different fields, whether sports or music, added a unique flavor to the evening. As an accomplished athlete herself, Serena’s playful jabs resonated with the audience, making for a memorable and entertaining night at the ESPYs.
