Taylor Swift made a surprise visit to Studio 8H for the season 49 premiere of Saturday Night Live.
The pop superstar popped in on Oct. 14 to help introduce musical guest Ice Spice shortly before another surprise cameo by the singer’s rumored boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“Once again, Ice Spice,” Swift announced before flashing a mischievous smile and walking off the stage.
During her musical guest debut during the Pete Davidson-hosted episode, Ice performed “In Ha Mood,” from her 2023 EP Like..? and the just-released “Pretty Girl,” featuring Nigerian Afro-rave singer Rema.
Earlier in the week, the Bronx-bred rapper won the best breakthrough hip-hop artist award at the 2023 BET Hip-Hop Awards. Next month, she will open on select dates for Doja Cat‘s Scarlet Tour.
Just after Swift’s cameo on the show, the star’s rumored beau Kelce appeared in an NFL Fox Sunday sketch poking fun at how much the league has been focusing the the superstar couple’s supposed romance.
Davidson was originally scheduled to host the iconic sketch comedy show on May 6, alongside musical guest Lil Uzi Vert, before the writers’ strike canceled all upcoming episodes. The season 49 premiere marked Ice Spice’s debut on SNL.
