Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live" during Dakota Johnson's monologue, as she was talking about her relationships with musicians. The singer ended up taking part in the exchange that led to an indirect reference to Travis Kelce .

Johnson returned as host of "SNL" for the third time just one day after the premiere of "Verity," the film she stars in alongside Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett.

"What else has happened since the last time I hosted? Well, I went through two very public and very bad breakups with two incredible musicians", Johnson said before adding: "I'm looking for the third". She then compared those experiences to Verity : "So is dating musicians" , before joking about what she usually takes away from concerts: "Some people leave concerts with merchandise and I leave with a two-and-a-half-year relationship".

The actress then assured that she has friends who support her and do not judge her. "Ladies and gentlemen, my literal therapist," she announced. It was then that Taylor Swift appeared on stage and immediately denied that alleged role: "Actually, I’m not your therapist."

Swift went on to jokingly describe what her get-togethers with Johnson are like: "You just show up at my house once a week with an empty bottle of wine and ask me if I want some".

"I think I'm actually doing a public service by dating them because, girls, I'm saving you a lot of money on Zoloft". She then listed who should be thanking her: "You're welcome, America. And England too. And parts of Ireland. And Cleveland". The last reference was aimed at Travis Kelce, Swift's husband and someone closely linked to Cleveland, and prompted the punchline "supposedly".
