After 2023 CMA Awards cohosts Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan joked that Swift can 'sell out' a stadium unlike the Jets, the team responded with a mic drop photo.

The New York Jets fact-checked Peyton Manning after he and country singer Luke Bryan ribbed the NFL team at the 2023 CMA Awards show.

Bryan informed the audience that he and co-host Manning were back from a commercial break since "Travis and Taylor weren't available."


The singer was referring to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and mega music star Taylor Swift, who are rumored to be dating.

Manning then lateral passed a punchline setup to Bryan and asked him:

“Do you know the difference between Taylor Swift and the New York Jets?”

Bryan replied:

“Taylor can sell out a stadium."

Amid the audience's laughter, Manning told Bryan:

“You nailed it. I had you do that punchline, Luke, so I wouldn’t get in trouble.”

However, the former NFL quarterback star failed to evade the so-called "trouble" he so casually mentioned.

The Jets gave him a reality check with a photo indicating there were hardly any empty seats at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium following the team's Monday Night Football victory over the Buffalo Bills.

The Jets posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption:

"what are we talking about Peyton."

Oh, snap.

Jets fans and Swifties had some thoughts.




According to ESPN, the Jets ranked third highest-average in attendance among NFL teams this season with 80,000 people per home game.

The Jets have also reported that a total of over 403,000 fans attended its five home games this season at MetLife Stadium.

Swift's three Eras Tour performances brought in over 217,000 people total to the venue in May.

The Stadium's social media page congratulated Swift, saying:

"Thank you @taylorswift13 for 3 incredible record-breaking shows & congrats on becoming our #1 best-selling artist."
"Thanks to the 72,802 Swifties here tonight & the 217,625 fans over 3 nights."
"What a way to celebrate our 100th concert!"

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
