THE RUNDOWN
- Dakota Johnson hosted Saturday Night Live for the third time to promote her new film, Verity.
- Johnson joked about her recent dating history during her opening monologue.
- Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance as Johnson’s “literal therapist.”
On October 3, Dakota Johnson returned to host Saturday Night Live, featuring a lively opening monologue and an unexpected guest—Taylor Swift.
In her monologue, Johnson humorously reflected on her recent dating life, mentioning, “I’ve been through two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians,” likely referring to her splits from Chris Martin and Role Model.
Instead of dwelling on her past, she lightheartedly joked, “I actually think I’m doing a public service by dating them,” offering a comedic take on her history with musicians. The audience responded with laughter as she quipped about saving money on therapy for her female fans.
Swift joined Johnson on stage, prompting Johnson to describe her as her “literal therapist.” In a playful exchange, Swift rebutted, clarifying, “I’m not your therapist, actually…”
Their banter, though comedic, highlighted the importance of being a supportive friend—a reminder that sometimes all one needs is a judgment-free space to talk.
In the end, this fun-filled segment not only entertained but also fostered a genuine connection between the two friends, showcasing both humor and warmth.
