SNL season 49 had some seriously memorable moments (the unhinged Scooby Doo sketch with Jake Gyllenhaal and Sabrina Carpenter lives rent free in my mind). And this year, we're coming up on a huge moment for the series: its 50th season. SNL season 50 is sure to be memorable, and if you ask me, there's one person that would make the perfect host and musical guest: Taylor Swift.
Is Taylor Swift hosting Saturday Night Live in 2024?

While we haven't gotten an official list of SNL hosts yet, I'm starting to wonder if Taylor Swift will lead the charge. She's already appeared on the show a number of times in a number of roles. She's hosted, made guest appearances, and been musical guest. And if you ask me, after a record-breaking Eras Tour, a special episode like the 50th premiere is the perfect time for Taylor to reappear.
Pairing up Sabrina Carpenter (an Eras Tour opener) and Jake Gyllenhaal (one of Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriends) feels like the kind of Easter egg Taylor herself would orchestrate. New seasons of Saturday Night Live usually premiere at the end of September or beginning of October, and since there's a gap in the Eras Tour from August until November, Taylor Swift would hypothetically be free for an early fall premiere.
