As some Swifties predicted ahead of time thanks to some Emmys Easter eggs, Taylor Swift did make a cameo on Saturday Night Live in support of her friend, actress Dakota Johnson, who was hosting.
Swift crashed Johnson's monologue as the actress joked about how the singer was her therapist (Swift deadpanned that she wasn't). But the big surprise actually came at the end of the night -- Johnson's birthday began at midnight, so Swift presented her with a cake at the end of the show.
Check out the monologue and the cake moment below:
