Taylor Swift has stepped into Studio 8H to appear on Saturday Night Live a handful of times.
During an October 2026 episode of SNL, Dakota Johnson was discussing her love life as she gushed over her “really supportive” friends. Swift then showed up to agree that Johnson does have “supportive” friends,” but clarified that she was not her “literal therapist” as the actress described.
“I’m not your therapist, actually,” Swift joked. “You just show up once a week at my house with an empty bottle of wine and ask if I want some. … And then you flop on my couch and overshare and every so often, I just say, ‘Damn, that’s crazy!’”
Swift then noted Johnson’s visits end with her drinking some Pedialyte before the “Patient Zero” singer’s security team “drives [her] home.”
Johnson interjected, “While we’re on the subject of musicians, I think actually I’m doing a public service by dating them because, ladies, I’m saving you a lot of money on Zoloft. So, you’re welcome, America! And also England. And parts of Ireland. And Cleveland, allegedly!”
With a mention of Cleveland, Swift gave a “woo-woo” to support husband Travis Kelce’s hometown. (Swift and Kelce tied the knot in NYC in July 2026.)
