Look what you made her do. Moments after Travis Kelce made a surprise appearance on Saturday’s premiere of “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Pete Davidson, the superstar made a cameo of her own.
Swift appeared on screen following a commercial break to introduce her friend, Ice Spice, for her second performance of the night.
Swift last appeared on “SNL” — for her fifth time — in 2021 when she delivered a 10-minute performance of “All Too Well.”
Earlier in the night, an NFL Fox Sunday sketch mocked how much attention the league has been paying to Swift and Kelce’s rumored romance. In the sketch, Kenan Thompson played Curt Menefee, with Mikey Day as Howie Long, James Austin Johnson as Jimmy Johnson, Devon Walker as Michael Strahan and Molly Kearney as Terry Bradshaw.
After a lot of Swift puns, Thompson turned to the camera and said, “When we get back we are going to speak with someone who actually wants to talk football.” With that, Kelce popped up, replying, “Yes, please!”
Neither Kelce nor Swift came on stage at the end of the show, but Davidson thanked both of them.
Ever since Swift has started attending Kansas City Chiefs games to cheer on Kelce, she’s become a big topic of conversation around the NFL. The first game she attended boosted the NFL Sunday ratings to 24.3 million viewers on Fox; the second — for which she brought along many A-list friends — saw an average of 27 million viewers on NBC and Peacock. She attended Kelce’s game on Thursday night as well, but Amazon Prime Video has not released any numbers.
Of course, this is also a huge week for Swift personally, with the opening of her movie, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” bringing in a cool $39 million on its opening day; that includes the $2.8 million made from Thursday previews.
