Joy Behar appears to zone out on The View during Taylor Swift chat: 'Who?'

"The football player and the pop star," Sara Haines reminded Behar, who replied, "Who cares?"

Unlike that one time her apartment complex's elevator held her hostage, Joy Behar left the building — metaphorically — on Wednesday's episode of The View.

While the 81-year-old star's cohosts broke down Taylor Swift and Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce's budding romance on the talk show's Valentine's Day edition, Behar and moderator Whoopi Goldberg appeared comically unamused throughout the chat. Goldberg made hilarious faces to the audience while Behar looked down to play with her pen as Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin carried the conversation about the "serious step" of Swift and Kelce's parents meeting.

"Joy, do you think they're going to get married now?" Hostin asked Behar, who appeared flustered by the question.

"Who?" Behar replied, looking around the table with a befuddled look on her face.

"Joy left this conversation," Griffin quipped, while Haines attempted to bring Behar back to the Hot Topics table.

"The football player and the pop star," Haines reminded Behar, who seemingly snapped back into the moment when Haines spoke.

"Oh, those two! Yeah, I like Taylor. I'm a Swiftie," Behar said, still not quite present enough to address the question posed seconds earlier.

"But meeting parents — both sets of parents met," Hostin said, seeming to accept that Behar was at least somewhat back on board with the rest of her colleagues. But, sadly, she was wrong.

"Who cares?" asked Behar, who famously suggested in January that Swift needed to "get over" her apparent annoyance over Jo Koy's joke about her at the 2024 Golden Globes.

Goldberg, it seems, did not care, as she threw the show to commercial shortly after.

The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
