Overview

  • In 2015, Taylor Swift requested that Saturday Night Live cancel a sketch parodying her 'Bad Blood' music video and girl squad.
  • Lorne Michaels, SNL's creator, refused her request, reportedly telling Swift, 'I do not negotiate with terrorists.'
  • The sketch aired as planned, featuring Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Amy Schumer in a humorous take on Swift's music video.
  • Following the broadcast, Swift sent Michaels flowers and a note reading, 'I hope there’s no bad blood,' signaling no hard feelings.
  • Swift has since appeared on SNL multiple times as a musical guest, including performances in 2017, 2019, and 2021.
