“Our perp has a clear M.O.,” Swift continued. “A lot of this doesn’t fit the pattern, and I don’t think everything is a clue.”
“It is to the Swifties,” Hargitay replied. Swift then immediately offered something that sounded very much like a collection of clues. “I think what we’re going to be looking for is hiding in plain sight,” she said. “Saccharide. Aries. From the vineyard. North or south.”
“What did you just say?” Hargitay asked. “I didn’t say anything,” Swift replied. Swifties quickly began trying to decipher the phrase, according to Elle. Hargitay’s character eventually reached her conclusion: “Taylor Swift will not be at the Emmys.”
Swift then delivered the joke behind her own appearance. “Maybe she’s going to do one of those cool pre-taped sketch things to support the host,” she suggested. The final shot brought in one more familiar name — although this time, it belonged to a cat.
As the “Law & Order” sound played, Swift was revealed holding her Scottish Fold, Olivia Benson, whom she named after Hargitay’s “SVU” character. The cameo reflected Swift and Hargitay’s friendship of more than a decade.
Watch
Hargitay returned the pet-name tribute in 2023 by naming her Siamese cat Karma after Swift’s song. Swift therefore spent Sept. 14 at Arrowhead rather than on an Emmys red carpet, but she still appeared during Hargitay’s broadcast. And the cameras in Kansas City supplied the night’s other surprise: Cruise was right there beside her.
