Look what you forced her to do. Shortly after Travis Kelce’s surprise appearance on Saturday’s premiere of “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Pete Davidson, the superstar himself made a cameo appearance.
Swift appeared on screen after a commercial break to introduce her friend Ice Spice for her second performance of the night.
Swift last appeared on “SNL” in 2021 – for the fifth time – when she delivered a 10-minute performance of “All Too Well.”
Earlier in the night, an NFL Fox Sunday sketch poked fun at how much attention the league has paid to the alleged romance between Swift and Kelce. 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’re going to talk to someone who really wants to talk about football.” Kelce then popped up and replied, “Yes, please!”
At the end of the show, neither Kelce nor Swift came on stage, but Davidson thanked both of them.
Since Swift attended Kansas City Chiefs games to cheer on Kelce, she has become a major topic of conversation in the NFL. The first game she attended boosted Sunday’s NFL ratings on Fox to 24.3 million viewers; The second show, to which she brought many high-profile friends, was watched by an average of 27 million viewers on NBC and Peacock. She also attended Kelce’s game on Thursday night, but Amazon Prime Video has not released numbers.
Of course, this is also a big week for Swift personally, as the premiere of her film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour grossed a whopping $39 million on its opening day; That includes the $2.8 million generated by Thursday’s previews.
