Taylor Swift Cooked Dinner for Tiffany Haddish After They Filmed 'Saturday Night Live' Together
Tiffany Haddish and Taylor Swift’s Saturday Night Live episode was epic for several reasons. First and foremost, it made history: Haddish was the first non-cast black female to ever host the show. (Crazy, right? Talk about long overdue.) The evening also featured Swift’s first live performances from her Reputation era; she performed two of her singles, “Call It What You Want” and “Ready for It” In short, it was a pretty phenomenal night.
But arguably the greatest thing about it happened off-camera: Haddish and Swift became friends after doing the show together. In fact, Swift liked Haddish so much that she invited her to a potluck dinner party—and even agreed to make Haddish’s favorite dishes.
“Taylor was like, ‘Tiffany, oh my God, I like you. We ‘gotta hang out,'” Haddish told Ellen DeGeneres on her show. “And I was like, ‘Yes, girl. We ‘gotta hang out girl. Let’s hang out!’ I told her, ‘If I come over, you ‘gotta make me some barbecue chicken, some potato salad, and a brisket. And she was like, ‘OK.’ And I was like, ‘I’m ‘gonna bring some collard greens because I got my own garden and I got greens.'”
This dinner party actually happened, too, and Swift is apparently an excellent cook. “Taylor can cook,” Haddish praised. “She can cook! The chicken was bomb. And she made cornbread. Bomb! So good.”
Swift was a huge fan of Haddish’s collard greens, too, which had a secret ingredient. “When I pick my greens, I smile,” Haddish said. “When I wash the greens, I smile. Then when I cut them up, I smile. And then when I cook them, I smile. They call it joyful greens…And then [Swift] ate my greens. She was like, ‘Oh my gosh, Tiffany, I have been wanting greens for so long. I go to all these different places and get greens, and they’re never good. These greens are so delicious. And I was like, ‘Girl, because them is joyful greens!'”
Incredible. Watch Haddish explain this for yourself in the video, below:

Listen, if Swift films a “Bad Blood” sequel, Haddish needs to be the star. This is the friendship we didn’t know we needed.
