Taylor Swift makes surprise ‘SNL’ cameo during Dakota Johnson’s monologue: ‘My literal therapist’ - Entertainment Weekly

Leading up to the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, there was some speculation about whether Taylor Swift would be making a cameo with good friend Dakota Johnson serving as host. Those who were betting on Swift making an appearance had their predictions proven right, with Swift crashing Johnson’s opening monologue.

Dan Levy is encouraging male viewers to denounce Shane Gillis’ controversial “Saturday Night Live” monologue, noting he’d been personally left “speechless” after catching it over the weekend. On Sunday evening, the “Schitt’s Creek” actor and co-creator shared a short video on Instagram in which he called Gillis out for his much-scrutinized “SNL” remarks. “Women wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them whores misogynists,” Levy said. “There’s a difference there. By the way, I’ve seen more men’s nipples at the gym than I’ve seen women showing their bodies off.”“But I’m speechless that something like that can exist on live national television,” he continued.

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.
