- Both parties used humor effectively; Michaels with his terrorist comment and Swift with her “bad blood” note.
In a recent interview, Lorne Michaels shared a fascinating story about his interaction with Taylor Swift.
Back in 2015, Swift was invited to participate in a sketch on Saturday Night Live that humorously depicted her circle of friends as an apocalyptic cult, drawing inspiration from her “Bad Blood” music video.

However, she turned down the offer and specifically asked for the sketch to be scrapped. Nevertheless, Michaels chose to go ahead with it.
Michaels’ reply was both clever and assertive:
“I do not negotiate with terrorists.”
This witty comment underscored his determination to keep creative control over the show’s material. The sketch aired as intended, featuring a parody of Swift’s well-known friends like Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid.
After the episode was broadcast, Swift sent Michaels flowers along with a note that read, “I hope there’s no bad blood,” showing that there were no hard feelings between them. This incident highlights how SNL upholds its comedic vision, even in the face of celebrity feedback.
