Now that we have all had a day to sufficiently discuss Harry Styles winning Album of the Year during Sunday night’s Grammys, it’s time for us to turn our attention to everything else that happened at the ceremony.

There was the awkward moment that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were seemingly caught fighting on camera, Adele and The Rock becoming instant BFFs, and Lizzo made her red carpet debut with her new boyfriend, Myke Wright.

Then there was host Trevor Noah’s jokes throughout the show, which included references to Prince Harry’s “frostbitten penis” and the recent discourse that M&M’s had become “too sexy.”

He also spent some time having one-on-one conversations with the A-list attendees sitting in the crowd, but not all of his punchlines landed.

And one of the more uncomfortable moments to go viral since Sunday’s ceremony was Trevor’s chat with Taylor Swift — where she appeared to have no idea what he was talking about.

Taylor looked awkward and remained deadpan as the host brought up her fans, who recently hit the headlines for suing Ticketmaster following the messy presale for the singer’s upcoming Eras tour.

“I’m just wondering once they’re done with this, can you get them to handle the price of eggs?” Trevor asked Taylor, which is obviously a reference to the recent inflation in egg prices across America.

(For context, the cost went from around $2 to $7 a dozen in recent weeks, and Forbes previously explained: “The main reason egg prices remain high is the spread of an avian influenza virus which started in early 2022.”)

But Taylor just looked at Trevor blankly, before replying: “There’s really nothing that they can’t accomplish. They’ll get on it, just tell them what you need.”

“Swifties: price of eggs, down! You go after those chickens,” Trevor said to the camera, while Taylor looked down the lens and pulled a confused face while shaking her head, suggesting that she was baffled by what he’d said.

Initially, people watching at home were equally thrown by this reaction, but they soon realized that there’s an obvious reason why the multimillionaire didn’t understand Trevor’s joke.

“I love her but I know that she’s so out of touch that she didn’t understand the egg thing at all,” one fan commented on a TikTok of the moment.
