During the 2024 ESPYs, tennis champion Serena Williams took the opportunity to roast various celebrities and athletes. She congratulated the Kansas City Chiefs on their successes and then playfully mocked Patrick Mahomes and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend for winning a Super Bowl. Williams humorously pointed out that the couple allegedly spent $100,000 a day on their romance, drawing laughs from the audience.
Interestingly, both Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were notably absent from the event. Kelce was busy participating in a karaoke competition at a golf championship tournament. Despite his absence, he still managed to give a shout-out to Swift during his win, showcasing the camaraderie between the two stars.
LeBron James and Drake
Williams didn’t stop at just Kelce and Swift, as she also took a jab at LeBron James in her monologue. She humorously mentioned the unique milestone of James and his son being the first father-son duo to play for the same NBA team. Williams cheekily commented on the potential similarities in hairlines between the father and son.
She didn’t shy away from throwing shade at Drake either. Referring to the rapper’s feud with Kendrick Lamar, Williams jokingly warned against picking a fight with Lamar. She hilariously predicted that Drake may face some friendly backlash from his hometown team, the Toronto Raptors, the next time he attends a game.
Overall, Serena Williams showcased her comedic chops as the host of the 2024 ESPYs. Her ability to poke fun at both athletes and celebrities added an entertaining element to the event. From roasting Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to teasing LeBron James and Drake, Williams kept the audience engaged and laughing throughout her opening monologue. It is clear that Williams knows how to command a stage and deliver a memorable performance, even when she’s not on the tennis court. Her wit and humor were on full display, solidifying her reputation as a versatile entertainer in addition to a formidable athlete.
