If you wanna party, Taylor Swift knows where to spend a Saturday night: Studio 8H.
The "Patient Zero" singer returned to the famed 30 Rock stage on Oct. 3, popping up during "Saturday Night Live" host Dakota Johnson's opening monologue.
Johnson recounted her dating history, joking that she had endured "two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians" and was "looking for a third." After the actress described her friends as supportive and non-judgmental, Swift walked out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my literal therapist," Johnson said.
"I'm not your therapist, actually," Swift said. "You just show up once a week at my house with an empty bottle of wine and ask if I want some."
"Yeah, well, I have manners," Johnson replied.
Swift, wearing an off-the-shoulder gray plaid dress with a draped bodice and thin chain belt, added: "And then you flop on my couch and overshare, and every so often, I just say, 'Damn, that's crazy.' "
"Is that not a therapist?" Johnson asked.
Swift said she eventually tells Johnson it's getting late and she should go to bed.
"Sleepover, yay!" Johnson replied.
Swift reappeared at the end of the night to present Johnson with a birthday cake. The host, whose birthday is Oct. 4, turned 37 during the show.
The appearance came during Dakota Johnson's third turn as host of the long-running NBC show, with Turnstile as musical guest.
It was also Swift's second appearance with Johnson, a longtime friend, in less than a week. Johnson starred opposite Colin Farrell in Swift's "Patient Zero" music video, which premiered Sept. 27 at the MTV Video Music Awards. Johnson introduced Swift at the ceremony, where the singer and songwriter received the inaugural Artist Director Honors award before debuting the video.
