White, 32, and Edebiri, 28, both acquired golden statuettes for their work on the show.
As for Swift, she attended the 2024 Golden Globes on Jan. 7, where host Jo Koy seemingly mocked her.
The “Valentine’s Day” actress glared at the comedian, 52, when he quipped onstage: “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL is that at the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”
Swift is currently dating football player Travis Kelce, and Koy’s joke referred to the numerous times the NFL’s cameras capture her watching the games.
