Lorne Michaels Recounts Taylor Swift's Request to Cancel 2015 SNL Sketch

The SNL creator declined Swift's plea to cut a parody of her 'Bad Blood' music video, later receiving flowers and a note from the singer.

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.
