Taylor Swift On SNL: Why She Surprised Dakota Johnson During Her Opening Monologue And What Happened

Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live during Dakota Johnson’s opening monologue, turning the actress’ jokes about her dating history into an unexpected reunion between the two friends. 

Johnson, who hosted SNL for the third time on October 3, was talking about her high-profile relationships with musicians when she brought up the friends who support her through her breakups. That was when Swift suddenly appeared, with Johnson introducing her as her “literal therapist.”

Swift quickly corrected her. “I’m 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,” the singer joked.
