The SNL cast poked fun at the NFL's endless coverage of Taylor's recent cameos at Kansas City Chiefs games to cheer in the bleachers for her rumored boyfriend, Travis.
Kenan Thompson, as Fox NFL Sunday host Curt Menefee, tried to lead a conversation about the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles but failed miserably because other hosts were not-so-secret Swifties.
The sketch really went off the rails once all the NFL hosts went back and forth about whether or not Travis is actually Taylor's "boyfriend."
Mikey Day, as Howie Long, had something to say about it.
Molly Kearney, as Terry Bradshaw, had a rebuttal.
Then everyone battled to see who was the bigger Swiftie by revealing their secret songs and friendship bracelets.
And Kenan almost got everything back on track.
Then the cameras cut away to the sidelines, and Travis appeared!
But wait, there's more! Pete introduced Ice Spice, one of Taylor's newest besties, to perform her first song of the night, "In Ha Mood," but he didn't return to introduce the next one.
T. Swift showed up! Of course, she wouldn't leave her bestie hanging on her first SNL performance of "Pretty Girl!"
She really ate those four words.
These cameos were the perfect Easter eggs to the new Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce era, and the fans had a lot to say about it:
Having them both there for the season opener is the best thing you could have done.
That's an interesting crossover! A surprise Travis Kelce cameo in an SNL skit about Taylor Swift must have been quite the twist. SNL is known for its creative and sometimes unexpected sketches, and this one sounds like it added an extra element of surprise to the show.
Looks like SNL caught the "Swiftie" bug and threw in a touchdown with that Kelce cameo. Who knew comedy and pop royalty could be such a dynamic duo? 🎤🏈 pic.twitter.com/nm35CCjUyj
Taylor Swift making a surprise appearance on SNL to introduce "Ice Spice" is a delightful twist! Such celebrity cameos often add extra excitement to the show.
