NFL analyst Joy Taylor recently had fans talking after she confirmed on Instagram that she had undergone a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Posting a video from the gym, Taylor showed off perfect-10 toned physique in a turquoise workout set paired with white sneakers. “Ask and you shall receive guys! I finally got that BBL 😂😂😂,” she joked in the caption, tagging her trainer, Kevin Mejia. She also encouraged body positivity for her followers: “For the record, people should do whatever they want with their bodies.”
Fans and NFL friends react with laughter
The post quickly went viral, drawing playful reactions from friends and colleagues across sports media. Danielle Wright, wife of Fox Sports host Nick Wright, dropped laughing emojis, while Dr. Cheyenna Bryant joined in too. NFL influencer Kayla Nicole, known for her connection to Travis Kelce, couldn’t resist teasing her friend, writing, “GOODBYE JOY 😂.” Meanwhile, Monica Lauren Taylor jokingly called her “Miss. New Booty! 🍑😂.”
Joy Taylor’s post also got people talking about body confidence and fitness for women in sports media. Fans loved her honesty and sense of humor, pointing out that she’s always been open about being authentic, taking care of her mental health, and empowering herself — on and off the screen.
Many also praised her for being upfront about cosmetic choices without judgment, calling it a sign of her confidence and transparency. Taylor, who has a loyal following for her straight-shooting takes on the NFL and athletes, keeps balancing her media work with her fitness goals. Even while dealing with career changes and public attention, she manages to keep things fun and laugh at herself, which fans say is one of her most relatable qualities.
From Fox Sports 1 exit to life beyond TV
Taylor’s post came a few months after her departure from Fox Sports 1, where she spent nearly a decade. She left in July after the network opted not to renew her contract during a programming shake-up, which also canceled her shows Speak, Breakfast Ball, and The Facility. She also made headlines recently after a tense moment on Emmanuel Acho’s “Speakeasy” podcast. During a discussion about Travis Hunter’s rookie season, co-host LeSean McCoy referenced a lawsuit involving Taylor and Acho. Acho called the comment “the biggest violation in this show’s history” before abruptly ending the conversation.
Keeping it light with super bowl excitement
Beyond the drama, Taylor has maintained a playful and upbeat presence. On The Pre-Game podcast, she shared her excitement over
Bad Bunny being named the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show headliner, saying, “I love Benito (Antonio Martínez Ocasio, AKA Bad Bunny). Bad Bunny can ruin my life. He’s so hot.” Taylor comes from a family familiar with the NFL spotlight. Her brother, Jason Taylor, is a former Miami Dolphins defensive end and Hall of Famer who now coaches at the University of Miami, rounding out a household that continues to make waves in football circles.
