The star-studded event took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where Williams kicked off the evening with a bang. Amidst cheering fans and fellow celebrities, Williams wasted no time in delivering some scathing yet hilarious remarks.
Roasting Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
One of the standout moments of the evening came when Williams took aim at Kansas City Chiefs’ star Travis Kelce and his relationship with singer Taylor Swift. With a twinkle in her eye, Williams congratulated the Chiefs on their success before launching into a witty jab at Kelce and Swift’s extravagant spending habits. According to Williams, the couple allegedly splurged $100,000 a day on their romance, prompting laughter and applause from the audience.
Absentees and Karaoke Kings
Interestingly, both Kelce and Swift were missing from the event, with Swift preparing for a concert in Milan and Kelce engaging in a karaoke competition at a golf championship tournament. Kelce wowed the crowd with his rendition of “Here I Go Again” by Whitesnakes, even dedicating his victory to Swift. While the absence of the duo was felt, Williams kept the audience entertained with her quick wit and sharp tongue.
Williams didn’t stop at Kelce and Swift; she also took a playful swipe at NBA legend LeBron James and rapper Drake. Her quips about James’ son joining the Lakers and Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar added to the playful banter of the night. Williams proved that no one was safe from her comedic wrath, not even the biggest names in sports and entertainment.
Notably present at the ESPYs were Williams’ close friend Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who were there to accept the prestigious Pat Tillman Award for Service. The star-studded event was filled with memorable moments, from humorous jabs to heartfelt honors, making it a night to remember for athletes and fans alike.
