Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at the Emmys Monday night, joining host Mariska Hargitay for a pre-taped Law & Order: SVU sketch. Swift played a rookie detective helping Olivia Benson and the SVU crew investigate the night’s biggest mystery: whether Taylor Swift herself would actually show up at the Emmys, poking fun at Swifties’ habit of treating absolutely everything she does as an Easter egg.
The best part came at the end when Swift appeared holding her cat Olivia Benson, who she famously named after Hargitay’s character. Swift wasn’t actually at the Emmys — she was at the Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium — but still managed to make one of the night’s most talked-about cameos.
