Emmy Awards highlights: Mariska Hargitay sings, Taylor Swift acts in a skit and Jean Smart wins

  • On September 14, 2026, Taylor Swift and host Mariska Hargitay appeared in a pre-recorded sketch during the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.
  • Starring as her Law & Order: Special Victims Unit character Olivia Benson, Hargitay led her team to investigate whether Swift would attend the ceremony, requiring colleagues to 'think like Swifties.'
  • Analyzing a 'crime board,' Swift joined the SVU team to connect various clues, including the number 13—Swift's lucky number—and Abbott Elementary's 13 Emmy nominations.
  • Because the Kansas City Chiefs were playing in Kansas City that night, the team concluded 'Taylor Swift will not be at the Emmys,' Hargitay said.
  • The sketch demonstrated Swift's support for host Hargitay, reflecting a bond famously marked by the singer naming her cat Olivia Benson after the actress's iconic television character.
