Peyton Manning and singer Luke Bryan are hosting the 57th Annual Country Music Awards in Nashville on Wednesday. This is their second consecutive time hosting the event together.
During his opening monologue, the Hall of Fame NFL quarterback mentioned Taylor Swift, which makes sense, considering the talented singer has been all over the news this season as she’s dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
While mentioning Swift, Manning took a shot at the Jets, while setting up a joke with his co-host.
“Do you know the difference between Taylor Swift and the Jets?” Manning asked Luke.
Luke responded: “Taylor can sell out a stadium…?”
Manning finished with: “You nailed it.”

The Jets however, didn’t like the joke very much. They responded on twitter with a picture of their sold-out stadium and wrote: “what are we talking about Peyton”
While the 4-4 Jets have been tough to watch this year, especially coming off a 27-6 loss on Monday Night Football to the Chargers, filling up Metlife Stadium hasn’t been one of their problems. The health and return date of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, has been though.
