Once just a songbird, Taylor Swift spread her wings beyond the melody, leaving a mark on the Saturday Night Live stage. The love affair with SNL began in 2009 when Swift graced the show as a musical guest, later returning that year to don the hat of a host. The NFL-themed sketches added a playful twist, poking fun at the league’s presumed obsession with the Kelce-Swift romance. Through these SNL escapades, Swift, with comedic finesse, hit one comedic home run after another.

Saturday Night Live proved that Swift is not just a hitmaker but also a virtuoso of humor. But, with the sketches, the pop singer was not just just hitting the right notes – she was cracking up the entire room. Here is a showdown of the craziest Swift SNL sketches, right there to add to the humor hunger.

Roomies 

Taylor Swift collaborated with Nasim Pedrad and Andy Samberg. In this sketch, Swift played the role of an excessively devoted best friend. Swift, fresh from her stint at Bath and Body Works, crashed Pedrad and Samberg’s romantic evening like a tornado of eccentricity. Their greeting? A theatrically over-the-top embrace, with Pedrad gushing about missing Swift after a mere two-hour separation.

Later, Pedrad went on to declare Swift as her one and only hangout buddy. This left Samberg’s Bennet in a bewildered state of relationship limbo. As if that were not enough, they throw Bennet into confusion with a peculiar handshake. More so, this was accompanied by a synchronized chant that left readers grinning ear to ear at the sheer absurdity of it all.

Firelight parody

In a brilliant SNL spoof titled Firelight, Swift and the cast put a whimsical spin on the iconic Twilight saga. This shifted the focus from vampires to a quirky Frankenstein family known as the Franks. Swift stepped into Kirsten Stewart’s Bella shoes, donning a wig, and expressing her fascination for a Frank named Phillip. Moreover, he was brought to life by the hilarious Bill Hader.

With a humorous exchange, Swift’s character humorously pointed out Phillip’s distinct traits – green skin, bolts in the neck, and a knack for panicking around the fire. Emulating the Twilight trailer, the duo embarked on a comical romance. The comedic climax hit when Swift’s Bella, wondering about a lack of smooches, learned that Phillip’s kisses unintentionally lead to choking episodes. It was a tale where hilarity met the macabre, leaving viewers laughing.

Scared Straight

In a sidesplitting SNL sketch, the pop sensation embraced her playful side. She morphed into the character of Skeet Devlin, an ex-convict with a penchant for perplexing wisdom. Alongside Kenan Thompson, they formed the dynamic duo “Swirl” on a mission to steer delinquent teens away from a life of crime. Swift rocked cornrows, a red headband, and fake facial hair, delivering a comical mix of puzzling yet entertaining advice.

With a burst of humorous intimidation, Swift’s Skeet hurled confusing questions, like asking Andy Samberg’s character, “How fast you goin’, Kurt Russell?“. Thompson’s Lorenzo chimed in, cautioning against breaking the law and leaving the lasting message, “You don’t break the law. They will break you”. Swift’s Skeet added a touch of quirky advice. All of this left viewers chuckling and marveling at the sketch’s unique take on tough love.

Bunny Business

In the animated Bunny Business, the soundtrack came alive with a stellar lineup of impersonators. The sketch included Fred Armisen as Randy Newman, Kristen Wiig as Natalie Merchant, Andy Samberg as Adam Duritz, Bill Hader as Eddie Vedder, Kenan Thompson as Jennifer Hudson, and the surprise act of Swift stepping into the shoes of Shakira. With a touch of humor, the singer hilariously mimicked Shakira’s trademark moves.

The ‘Midnights’ singer’s unitard was reminiscent of the ‘She Wolf’ video during a mock commercial for the fictional soundtrack. Even if it meant forgoing coveted backstage passes to the resurrected Lilith Fair. Swift embraced the laughter, contributing her brand of charm to the fanciful and fictitious universe of Bunny Business.

Save Broadway

Less than a year before taking the SNL stage as host, the then 19-year-old singer dazzled as the musical guest. Swift who was just shy of twenty, delivered a stellar performance with her hits ‘Love Story,’ a Romeo and Juliet fantasy, and the pointed ‘Forever & Always,’ a lyrical jab at the infamous 25-second phone breakup with Joe Jonas.

Adding a touch of comedic flair to her SNL debut, Swift flexed her acting muscles in the Save Broadway skit during the same episode. Who knew that 10 years down the line, the singer would flex her acting with the record-breaking Eras concert film. In the sketch, she transformed into the iconic orphan Annie, belting out the timeless tune ‘Tomorrow’. Collaborating with Broadway characters like Bobby Moynihan’s Bustopher Jones from Cats and Bill Hader’s Professor Harold Hill from The Music Man, Swift played a pivotal role in concocting a plan to rescue the sinking ship of Broadway ticket sales.

The Californians

In the star-studded SNL 40th-anniversary special, Swift took the stage for a delightful cameo in the sketch. It was a soap opera saga featuring a reunited family grappling with unexpected revelations. The singer played the role of Cousin Alison, stealing the scene with her announcement of a newfound role in a Hollywood space flick. In a hilarious exchange, Fred Armisen prompted Swift to deliver a line from her movie. This turned the family’s reunion into a cosmic adventure.

Further, Swift’s character expressed wishes for a departed family member to witness her success, only to be interrupted by the miraculously alive Betty White. As the tale unfolded, Swift’s Alison’s eccentric plot involved a hot-air balloon ride. Also, a questionable will added a quirky layer to the family drama; finally, leaving viewers in stitches over the actress’s chaotic charm.
