by

A fresh disclosure indicates that Taylor Swift previously endeavored to prevent a Saturday Night Live sketch about her famous “girl squad” from being broadcasted. It’s claimed she contacted creator Lorne Michaels, expressing her desire for the piece not to be shown. However, according to reports, Michaels declined her request, which has since sparked much discussion.

Here are more details about why Swift asked Lorne Michaels to cut the SNL sketch.

Why did Taylor Swift ask Lorne Michaels to cut an SNL sketch?

Back in 2015, Saturday Night Live (SNL) thought up a comedy sketch that took aim at Taylor Swift’s well-known “girl squad,” a collective of high-profile celebrities who graced her “Bad Blood” music video. The video showcased an impressive lineup, including Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, and Selena Gomez. This sketch exaggerated the clout of the squad, depicting it as a potent post-apocalyptic entity. However, it appears that Swift herself was not in favor of this concept.

As reported by Vulture, Lorne Michaels, the creator of SNL, extended an invitation to Taylor Swift for a cameo in one of their sketches. However, Swift declined the offer and even asked that the entire segment be removed. During their discussion, Michaels considered her points but chose not to comply with her request. In a laid-back manner, while munching on popcorn, he is said to have quipped, “Taylor, I don’t deal with hostage situations.

Although Swift had asked for the sketches not to be aired, SNL broadcasted two skits related to her squad. One depicted Aidy Bryant and Vanessa Bayer in characters struggling in a world dominated by Swift and her group post-apocalypse. In contrast, another sketch titled “Tina & Amy’s Dope Squad” showcased Tina Fey and Amy Poehler forming their own team, which included Amy Schumer and Gayle King.

Despite Swift’s efforts to halt its broadcast, her subsequent actions indicated she had come to terms with it. As reported by Vulture, on the following Monday, a bouquet of flowers and a note saying “I hope there’s no bad blood” were sent to Michaels by the singer.
