Taylor Swift wasn’t physically at the Emmy Awards on Monday night, as she was supporting her husband in his first game of his 14th NFL season as the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Denver Broncos. But she was there in spirt, appearing in a hilarious pre-taped Law & Order: SVU spoof with host Mariska Hargitay.
The bit started out with Hargitay playing her character Olii Giddish — tried to figure out if Swift would make an appearance at the Emmy Awards. They had big boards covered with photos and red string, tying in some of Swift’s well known Easter eggs (like the number 13) and her album and song titles
But then the 14-time Grammy winner showed up in the sketch, wearing a suit and talking through the details.
At one point, Swift turned directly to the camera and addressed the Swifties. “I think what we’re looking for is going to be hiding in plain sight,” Swift stated. “Saccharide. Aries. From the vineyard, north or south.”
While that makes no sense now, the Swifties will let us know what it means.
