Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live.
While they’ve not confirmed their relationship yet, the rumoured power couple have sent fans into a frenzy after their blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameos.
Even more surprisingly, the NFL star poked fun at the intense speculation surrounding them. Take a look below:

It’s safe to say that Taylor Swift's cameo came as a shock, given that she’s been busy promoting her Eras Tour film this week.
With Swifties flocking the box office, Deadline has predicted that the concert film could bring in as much as $90 - $109 million (£74.2 - £89.9m) over the weekend.
Despite this, the ‘Bad Blood’ singer still made to appear on SNL to introduce her former collaborator Ice Spice.
While all eyes should have been on the rapper and her performance of ‘Pretty Girl’, it seems that people were more curious about Swift’s cameo.
Earlier in the show, her rumoured beau Travis Kelce also appeared in a skit, which parodied the intense media coverage surrounding their relationship.
It even showed actor and SNL alum Pete Davidson as a Swift-obsessed footballer presenter, as he dissecting the singer’s body language.
Whilst the skit was tongue-in-cheek, Kelce’s appearance mocked the real-life coverage - which has been occurring at recent games.

Having attended three games, including one with the Kansas City Chiefs star's mom, it’s safe to say that Swift’s presence has been felt.
During one recent game, cameras even filmed her in the crowds sat with Blake Lively – leaving some NFL fans frustrated by the coverage.
The NFL then released a statement, defending the coverage, which read:“We frequently change our bios and profile imagery based on what’s happening in and around our games, as well as culturally.
“The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news has been a pop cultural moment we’ve leaned into in real-time, as it’s an intersection of sport and entertainment, and we’ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport.
It concluded: “The vast majority of our content has remained focused on the game, our players and variety of other initiatives, including our Toy Story Funday Football alt-cast, the international games and more.”
However, this hasn't stopped Swifties from speculating about the rumoured couple - especially on social media.
It's unsurprising given how tight lipped the Grammy Award winner has been, despite being spotted leaving the lockroom with the Kansas Chief player back in September.
