Taylor Swift can rest easy knowing that a self-professed Swiftie is hosting the show this year.

Thankfully, Taylor Swift slander will not be part of the programming at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards on February 8.

After news broke that Marvel movie star and avowed Swiftie Simu Liu will be hosting this year’s show, the Barbie and Shang-Chi star penned a perfectly pithy response to the announcement on X (f.k.a. Twitter). “There will be no Taylor slander at the 2024 PCAs. that’s a personal guarantee,” Liu quipped on Thursday, January 11.

Liu’s comment follows a joke made about Swift by host Jo Koy during the 2024 Golden Globes. “As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader,” Koy said in reference to how much air time Swift gets when she attends boyfriend Travis Kelce’s football games. “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”

Immediately, the camera panned to a seemingly unphased Swift sipping her drink. The punchline landed with such an audible thud that Koy slipped in a hasty ”sorry about that” before moving on. Sometimes, an underreaction says it all.

It’s nice to know Liu isn’t planning to besmirch the good name of Taylor Swift at the PCAs, where she is nominated in five categories this year. Then again, we never really expected her to attend the show anyway. The pop star has been skipping the People’s Choice Awards since 2013. Plus, she kicks off the next leg of Eras Tour stops in Tokyo on February 7. Sorry, Simu!
