Taylor Swift is rocking plaid for fall.

The Grammy winner stepped out wearing a checked off-the-shoulder Simkhai dress during her surprise appearance on Dakota Johnson’s “Saturday Night Live” monologue.

Swift accessorized with a Saint Laurent chain belt and her Cartier Love Unlimited bracelet.

Swift, 36, finished her chic look with knee-high Burberry boots.

The “Lover” songstress’ plaid outfit called to mind the off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood look she wore while supporting her now-husband, Travis Kelce, at a Kansas City Chiefs game in October 2024.

The couple tied the knot in front of hundreds of A-listers, including Johnson, 37, at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 3.

Swift, meanwhile, joined Johnson on “SNL” after the latter starred in the pop icon’s new music video, “Patient Zero,” which was released on Sept. 27.

During the opening monologue, the “Fifty Shades of Grey” star, who split from Chris Martin after eight years in June 2025 and from singer Role Model in August after one year of dating, made fun of her “two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians”

“Some of them don’t wear shoes, some of them are terrible in bed,” she quipped. “All of them are in my DMs. Not my fault, though.”

“Some people leave concerts with merch, I leave concerts with a two-and-a-half-year relationship,” Johnson joked while comparing her past romances to the theme of her new movie, “Verity,” based on the Colleen Hoover novel of the same name.

“But I have really good friends. They don’t judge me for dating these men. They’re actually really supportive,” the actress continued as Swift walked onstage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my literal therapist,” Johnson joked, as the pop star responded, “I’m not your therapist, actually. You just show up at my house once a week with an empty bottle of wine and ask me if I want some.”

Johnson is now rumored to be dating Machine Gun Kelly after they were seen on a date night in NYC early last month.

Johnson and Swift’s friendship dates back to at least 2015, when they both participated in the “SNL” 40th anniversary celebration.

The following year, the duo stepped out for a girls’ night in the Big Apple with pal Cara Delevingne.
