With Law & Order SVU star Mariska Hargitay hosting the 2026 Emmys, rumours had been swirling about the possible appearance of Taylor Swift — a famous fan of the show, who even named her cat after Hargitay’s character Olivia Benson and included Hargitay in her 2015 “Bad Blood” video.
Fortunately, the Emmys did not disappoint. In the sketch above, Hargitay stars in a Law & Order SVU-style parody in which she tries to “Think like a Swiftie” and put clues together on a crime board. The whole thing is basically one Swift pun after another, during which the artist herself appears to help them solve the case.
We also get the joy of seeing two Olivia Bensons on screen at the same time!
