17.10.2023 posted by Admin
Minutes before the Season 49 premiere of "Saturday Night Live" in Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the production team, led by executive producer Lorne Michaels, received a surprise. They got word that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, were on their way to the show in New York City.
It was a last-minute surprise, as no one on the team knew about their arrival until just a few minutes before the show was set to start. Interestingly, the very first sketch of the evening parodied the NFL's fascination with Taylor Swift. In this sketch, Curt Menefee, played by Kenan Thompson, grew increasingly frustrated as his co-anchors revealed their love for the pop icon. They even broke into a rendition of Swift's song "Bad Blood," which irritated Menefee, prompting him to seek someone willing to discuss football. That's when Travis Kelce made his appearance.
Kelce walked in and was willing to join in the sketch on the spot. However, due to the impromptu nature of his appearance, he didn't have any scripted lines. Both Taylor Swift and Kelce were open to participating in various parts of the show when asked.
Swift made an unexpected on-camera appearance to introduce a performance by her friend and "SNL" musical guest, Ice Spice. This unplanned surprise happened well after the dress rehearsal, catching the audience and even viewers at home off guard.
Viewers were audibly surprised when Kelce appeared, and they started speculating about Swift's presence in the building. Later in the episode, Swift did make her own cameo on the show. While stars who make cameos often join the cast at the close of the show, Swift and Kelce did not do so. Nevertheless, they attended the "SNL" afterparty.
At the afterparty, Kelce greeted the cast and producers warmly, having hosted an "SNL" episode the previous year. Swift was seen sitting with Ice Spice at the party, and the two even took photos together. The night was a fun and celebratory occasion.
The following day, Kelce attended his brother Jason Kelce's game with the Philadelphia Eagles against the New York Jets, but Taylor Swift was not in attendance. Swift had traveled back to Kansas City for the Chiefs' NFL game against the Denver Broncos after the premiere of her "Eras Tour" film in Los Angeles.
Since rumors started about Swift dating Kelce, she has appeared at three out of his last four games, creating a buzz in the NFL world and attracting media attention. Even color commentators during the games have weighed in on this trend.
