We had no doubts that Taylor would show up backstage to support BFF Ed Sheeran on his Saturday Night Live debut as tonight’s musical guest (psst, watch his performances of “Sing” and the never-before-heard “Don’t” here), but we had no idea that host Seth Rogen’s monologue would cause her to magically appear on stage!Seth used his monologue to read from some supposed journal entries he kept this week, all about the process leading up to his third time hosting the iconic sketch-comedy show on NBC. Along the way, he gets visits from his “sister” Beth, a little help from Zooey Deschanel, has a run-in with buddy James Franco in the aftermath of a prank, and, when he begins to be upset about being upstaged by all the cameos… Taylor joins the trio on stage!
“Why are you here?” Rogen demands, a question which Taylor repeats, surprised, as if the answer is obvious. “You’re getting really upset,” she replies. “And whenever a man shows emotion, I appear!”
Watch the whole monologue in the video below now — or skip to 4:25 to see Taylor get some laughs and get to announce Ed as the musical guest for the night!
