\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a> gave Dakota Johnson<\/a> some pretty sweet payback for appearing in her \u201cPatient Zero\u201d music video: the mega-star joined the Verity actress during her opening monologue tonight on Saturday Night Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tPerhaps it was just a birthday present for Johnson, who turns 37 on Sunday. Either way, Swift came in to yuk it up with Johnson, who used her opening moment to wax on about dating musicians. Her recent beaus were Role Model and Chris Martin. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI went through two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians,\u201d Johnson said about what she\u2019s been doing since the last time she hosted SNL<\/a>. (This is Johnson\u2019s third appearance on the NBC show).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s not my fault, though,\u201d Johnson continued. \u201cSome people leave concerts with merch and I leave concerts with a two and a half year relationship. But I have really good friends. They don\u2019t judge me for dating these men. They\u2019re actually really supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s when Swift joined her on stage. \u201cI\u2019m not your therapist actually,\u201d Swift tells Johnson. \u201cYou just show up once a week at my house with an empty bottle of wine and ask if I want some.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift returned at the end of the show to present her buddy with a birthday cake. <\/p>\n
