‘SNL’: Dakota Johnson Confides in Taylor Swift About Dating Musicians

"I am actually doing a public service by dating them because, ladies, I am saving you a lot of money on Zoloft," the actress jokes

During Dakota Johnson's "Saturday Night Live" monologue this week, the actress was interrupted by a very unexpected guest: her "literal therapist," Taylor Swift. The two bond over their shared experiences of dating musicians who "don't wear shoes" and are "terrible in bed." Johnson kicked off her "SNL" run by joking about her failed 2024 superhero movie "Madame Web," which she still promotes because it hasn't made any money yet.

Afterward, Johnson reflected on the two public and "lame" breakups she had with musicians Chris Martin and Tucker Pillsbury. She joked about not talking anymore about her personal life, but her monologue was derailed when she mentioned that her new movie, "Verity," is a psychosexual erotic thriller. Johnson likened dating musicians to leaving concerts, saying, "Some of them don't wear shoes. Some of them are terrible in bed. But all of them are in my DMs."

Swift, whom Johnson called her "literal therapist," entered the scene and was uncomfortable with the comparison. Swift explained that she doesn't actually serve as a therapist, but Johnson insists it's a "public service." Swift then stood by her friend's side, defensively stating, "I think actually I'm doing a public service by dating them because, ladies, I am saving you a lot of money on Zoloft." Johnson then thanked Swift for saving America, England, parts of Ireland, and even Cleveland from expensive therapy.
