Taylor Swift appears on ‘SNL’ to joke with host Dakota Johnson

Pop music icon Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” joining her friend and the episode’s host, Dakota Johnson, for laughs.

Swift appeared on stage during Johnson’s opening monologue to address her role as the movie star’s “literal therapist,” in Johnson’s words.

“Actually, I’m not your therapist,” Swift said. “You come to my house once a week with an empty bottle of wine and ask me if I want some.”

Johnson agreed: “Yeah, well, I have manners.”

Swift continued to describe a typical evening for the two.

“You crash on my couch and overshare, and every once in a while I just say, ‘Damn, this is crazy,'” Swift said.

Johnson, who has been a prominent presence in the “Fifty Shades” film franchise, stars in the new film “Verity” and appears in Swift’s new music video for “Patient Zero.” She said Swift’s characterization of her role as hosting the actor at home seems to describe “therapist.”

But Swift had more to say about their nights.

“And then I say, ‘Oh, it’s getting late, I should probably go to bed,’ and then you say…”

Johnson chimed in: “Slumber party – yeah!”

Their wine sessions end, Swift said, not with a sleepover, but with Pedialyte and a ride home via Swift’s security.

Swift made another appearance during the encore, bringing out a blue and white cake for Johnson, who turned 37 on Sunday.

“SNL” airs on NBC, a division of NBCUniversal, which is also the parent company of NBC News.

Turnstile was the musical guest for the episode.
