Dakota Johnson calls Taylor Swift ‘the ᴍosᴛ powerful ᴘerson in America’ on SNL: “It’s just crazy to be standing ꜱo cloꜱe ᴛo someone who would become the most powerful peʀson in America”
Dakota Johnson described Taylor Swift as the “most powerful person in America” while making a dig at Donald Trump during her “Saturday Night Live” monologue.
The two-time “SNL” host – who was joined by musical guest Justin Timberlake for the live taping over the weekend – reflected on her first time hosting the NBC comedy staple.
The last time I hosted was right after the ‘SNL’ 40th [anniversary]. I was actually in the audience for that special,” the “50 Shades of Grey” star explained, as a photo from the 2015 special flashed on screen.
“Look at this collection of people: Sarah Palin, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg,” Johnson, 34, went on
“Crazy to be standing so close to someone who would become the most powerful person in America,” Johnson quipped, as the camera then shifted to the “Cruel Summer” singer, who was also in the audience at the time.
Of course, Swift, 34, is no stranger to the hallowed halls of “SNL” at 30 Rock
Most recently, she and boyfriend Travis Kelce made surprise appearances to support rapper Ice Spice.
Timberlake and the “How To Be Single” star appeared together in a scene from the 2010 flick, about the rise of Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, which Johnson acknowledged during her monologue.

“What are you doing up here, are you lost?” she asked the “Sexyback” singer, as he showed up on stage upon hearing his name mentioned.
Later in the night, the *NSYNC performer sang his 2013 hit “Mirrors” along with new tracks “Sanctified” and “Selfish.”
