Rumors have been getting louder throughout the week that Taylor Swift might be making a guest appearance during tonight's Dakota Johnson-hosted edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live. It made sense since they're both friends, tomorrow is Johnson's birthday, and Johnson recently co-starred with Colin Farrell in the music video for Seift's "Patient Zero" (which Swift directed). Well, those rumors proved true, with Swift stepping onto the main stage at Studio 8H as Johnson discussed her past track record of dating musicians. "I went through two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians," Johnson shared at one point. "It's not my fault, though. Some people leave concerts with merch and I leave concerts with a two and a half year relationship. But I have really good friends. They don't judge me for dating these men. They're actually really supportive." That's when Swift joined Johnson to offer a reality check about Johnson stopping by to visit. "I'm not your therapist, actually," Swift shared with the Verity star. "You just show up once a week at my house with an empty bottle of wine and ask if I want some."
