LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL) returned with a bang, and the internet is buzzing with excitement as the show poked fun at the fervor surrounding Taylor Swift's recent appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games and featured a surprise cameo by Travis Kelce.
The unexpected crossover had fans thoroughly entertained.
'SNL's parody of NFL coverage
In the opening sketch of the night, 'SNL' took a light-hearted jab at the NFL's enthusiastic coverage of Taylor Swift's recent football appearances.
The parody unfolded in an episode mimicking Fox's 'NFL Sunday', hosted by Curt Menefee, played by Kenan Thompson.
The comedic skit had a unique twist: it centered around the 'Anti-hero' songstress rather than the football game.
Kenan Thompson's character Menefee humorously remarked, "All right. It's week seven, and if any Taylor Swift fans are watching, the Chiefs game was on Thursday. You just missed her."
Despite the hosts' initial intent to focus solely on football, the sketch swiftly diverted to labeling Travis Kelce as Swift's "boyfriend," leading to comedic chaos.
