Mariska Hargitay was the host of this 12 months’s Emmys. Though I assumed a number of Mariska’s skits and jokes fell flat, I like the best way she threw herself into internet hosting and she or he actually appeared like she was having enjoyable. One of many few Emmy songs to essentially land, for my part, was the Legislation & Order: SVU skit with Taylor Swift. Mariska and Taylor are mates in actual life, Taylor is a well known L&O: SVU fan, and Taylor named one among her kittens after Mariska’s character, Olivia Benson. I do know Taylor had a number of enjoyable on the set of SVU. Properly, Ice-T has additionally been on SVU for many years and he participated within the sketch. Ice-T advised Web page Six that producers saved everybody in the dead of night about Taylor’s look, however as soon as she was on set, she could not have been nicer. She even introduced cookies.
Taylor Swift’s shock skit on the Emmys was such a confidential case that even the “Legislation & Order: Particular Victims Unit” crew could not resolve it earlier than they arrived on set. Ice-T, who has appeared on the NBC cop present since 2000 as Fin Tutuola, advised Web page Six that the solid was requested to movie a sketch Sunday for the awards present hosted by Mariska Hargitay, however producers made it clear the gig was “high secret.”
“I had no concept what it was,” Ice-T, 68, stated. “After which once we obtained there, Taylor Swift was there.”
He defined that the solid was instructed to not inform anybody about Swift’s involvement as a result of a leak would have ruined the second for viewers at dwelling. Ice-T claimed Swift, 36, was a real skilled as she recited her strains in entrance of the cameras – however one other spotlight was the items the beginner baker handed out after the cameras stopped rolling.
“I obtained cookies,” the actor and musician stated. “I have not eaten them but. They’re in my dressing room. I do not even know, ought to I eat them? Ought to I maintain them? Ought to I maintain them as a memento?”
He praised Swift for chatting with your entire solid throughout filming and stated he was in a position to join along with her “in a musician vibe.”
“I might inform after assembly her that she’s a really centered {and professional} particular person. Like something she’s going to do, she’s going to do it to the fullest, and she or he dealt with it like a champ,” Ice-T added.
The sketch turned the “SVU” solid into full-fledged Swifties, with Hargitay’s Olivia Benson main a brainstorming session about whether or not Travis Kelce’s spouse would attend Monday’s awards present after her personal nominations for the “Eras Tour” had been processed on the Inventive Emmys earlier within the month. Swift and her actual cat, named after Hargitay’s character, then entered the dialogue, and she or he poked enjoyable at herself with jokes equivalent to: “She’s in all probability going to be at dwelling taking part in with these cats she’s named after TV characters.”
After Hargitay’s Benson concluded that Swift would in all probability be at Arrowhead Stadium to observe Kelce’s Kansas Metropolis Chiefs tackle the Denver Broncos on Monday Evening Soccer, Ice-T’s Tutuola delivered a foolish response.
“Properly, if she’s not right here, I’m not trying,” he stated with a straight face.
Ice-T, who not too long ago launched his new album “Felony Migraine” in August, stated Swift would “completely” be welcomed again on set with open arms.

Contemplating what number of celebrities/actors have made appearances on SVU (and the unique L&O), it is really stunning that Taylor hasn’t appeared earlier than. Similar to within the precise present. Possibly she was provided a task and did not need to play a predator! Or a sufferer. Both method, I am positive it was an enormous want achievement for Taylor. And Ice-T ought to positively eat the cookies!
