In a recent interview, Lorne Michaels shared a fascinating story about his interaction with Taylor Swift.
In 2015, Taylor Swift had an opportunity to appear in a sketch on Saturday Night Live. The sketch humorously portrayed her group of friends as a cult, taking cues from her “Bad Blood” music video. This showed her ability to laugh at herself and her image.
However, she turned down the offer and specifically asked for the sketch to be scrapped. Nevertheless, Michaels chose to go ahead with it.
Michaels’ reply was both clever and assertive:
“I do not negotiate with terrorists.”
Her clever response emphasized her desire to maintain control over the content shown on the program. The sketch went on air as planned, featuring a spoof of Swift’s famous friends such as Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid.
Following the sketch’s airing, Swift displayed her good nature by sending producer Lorne Michaels flowers along with a note saying, “I hope there’s no bad blood.” This gesture indicated that there were no lingering hard feelings between them. It also demonstrated how Saturday Night Live sticks to its comedic vision, even when faced with input from celebrities.
