POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — Taylor Swift made an unexpected appearance on Saturday Night Live as actress Dakota Johnson humorously referenced the singer as a go-to confidante following recent relationship changes.

Johnson, hosting the show for the third time, used her monologue to reflect on past romances with musician Role Model and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. She joked that she had gone through two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians.
