\n\tPredictions that Taylor Swift<\/a> would make a cameo on \u201cSaturday Night Live<\/a>\u201d with host Dakota Johnson<\/a> came to fruition when the duo appeared together in the opening monologue.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Johnson joked about her failed relationships, she said \u201cI have really good friends. They don\u2019t judge me, they\u2019re really supportive. Ladies and gentlemen, my literal therapist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift then appeared onscreen \u2014 in what one Swiftie on X delightedly described as a \u201cTaylor Swift jump scare\u201d \u2014 and said, \u201cI\u2019m not your therapist, actually. You just show up once a week at my house with an empty bottle of wine and ask if I want some\u2026 You flop on my couch and overshare and every so often I say \u2018Damn, that\u2019s crazy,’\u201d Swift continued. \u201cAnd then you say\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSleepover, yay!\u201d said Johnson.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThen I give you Pedialyte and my security drives you home,\u201d Swift said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThen the subject returned to Johnson\u2019s dating life. Earlier in the monologue, after jokes about her \u201ctight-ass latex dress\u201d and the failure of \u201cMadame Web,\u201d the actress said, \u201cWhat else has happened since the last time I hosted? Well, I went through two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians,\u201d referring to Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin and Role Model. \u201cLooking for a third,\u201d she added. Mentioning that her new film \u201cVerity\u201d is a \u201cpsychosexual erotic thriller,\u201d she noted, \u201cSo is dating musicians. Some of them don\u2019t wear shoes, some of them are terrible in bed, but all of them are in my DMs. It\u2019s not my fault, though. Some people leave concerts with merch, and I leave concerts with a two-and-a-half-year relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWIth Swift beside her minutes later, Johnson picked up the subject and continued, \u201cJust quickly while we\u2019re on the subject of musicians, I think actually I\u2019m doing a public service by dating them, because, ladies, I am saving you a lot of money on Zoloft. So you\u2019re welcome, America. And also England. And parts of Ireland. And Cleveland,\u201d a reference to Travis Kelce, which led to the rejoinder, \u201cAllegedly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift then squealed \u201cIt\u2019s her birthday!\u201d \u2014 just slightly prematurely, as Johnson had earlier announced her birthday would be arriving at midnight.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the goodnights at the end of the episode, Swift brought a birthday cake out for Johnson.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\n\tThere was no question of Swift doing a musical number on the episode, since the musical guest had long since been announced as Turnstile. But the singer turning up at some point on \u201cSNL\u201d this season seemed like an inevitability after Swift participated in an Easter egg-laden \u201cLaw & Order SVU\u201d sketch on the Emmys. Behind her in the skit, a large \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d emblem was tacked to a bulletin board\u2026 not her subtlest clue ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Predictions that Taylor Swift would make a cameo on \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d with host Dakota Johnson came to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":915612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,30326,134,33892,2897,482961],"class_list":["post-915611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-dakota-johnson","tag-entertainment","tag-saturday-night-live","tag-taylor-swift","tag-the-life-of-a-showgirl-the-encore"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=915611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/915612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=915611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=915611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=915611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
