Before her show-stopping performance of the new 10-minute âAll Too Wellâ from Red (Taylorâs Version) on Saturday Night Live, musical guest Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance in the latest short film from Please Donât Destroy.
The taped sketch started as a bit about how cast member Pete Davidson wanted to make a video with the trio of new SNL writersâBen Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihyâabout âhow weâre all like best friends and how weâre like boys,â but quickly revealed itself to be a song called âThree Sad Virgins.â
âAnother day in the life of Pete, just sitting in a courtside seat,â Davidson rapped. âPeople want to take my picture with selfie sticks, it winds up on Page Six. Itâs never ending. Everyday, Iâm trending. People want to see the texts that Iâm sending. All my friends are cool and famousâexcept these three sad virgins.â
But the music video really picked up when Davidson invited a friend to join them. âDamn, guys, Iâm sorry, I thought this would be a fun thing for all of us,â he said. âIf itâs not, then, letâs just end itâŚ. I mean, after we do the bridge.â
Right on cue, Swift entered the scene to belt, âBen is like a sad Ron Weasley, he looks like if Big Bird lost all his feathers. And Martin has the charm and the sex appeal of a scarecrow. John has a big-ass bowling ball head, how does he stay upright with that big, fat melon? And none of them have the guts to take their shirts off in front of a girl.â
âBecause theyâre three sad virgins,â she and Davidson sang to end the song. âAnd theyâre gonna die alone.â
Swift continued to dominate SNL after her first performance when Colin Jost made her the focus of his opening âWeekend Updateâ joke.
âWell, guys, I think the lesson we all learned this week is never break up with Taylor Swift,â he said to screaming cheers from the crowd. âOr she will sing about you for 10 minutes on national television. At the very least, return the scarf.â
