Right when Taylor Swift entered the scene, X opened an investigation…

At the exact moment we think that Taylor Swift can't surprise us with something new… she decides to become a character in one of her favourite shows: Law & Order. For the Emmys, she participated in a cameo with the main characters of the show in the exact police station, and they were trying to solve the mystery of the day: was Taylor Swift going to be at the Emmys? To answer this, they pull out a corkboard where they had every clue they could find.

With the pressure of the Swifties, who can't let the singer do something without being called out, they wondered if she could be at the Awards ceremony. They started to think: she had several nominations, and many people thought that she actually might make an appearance. The problem? In the exact moment that the ceremony was taking place, her husband, Travis Kelce, was playing with the Kansas City Chiefs… so in the end, they discovered that she would be watching him and skipping this year's Emmys.

But she wouldn't be leaving her fans behind: in the middle of the detectives talking about her, she shows up, dressed as a police officer, with a coffee cup in her hand, talking about herself and what she could be doing… except she was not Taylor Swift. I mean, she was, but not really… I guess you'll have to see the cameo and see it for yourself!

Fans found this to be extremely hilarious, and once the cameo was on X, posted by @PopBase, every fan out there had to comment their thoughts. Many of them were actually impressed by her acting skills, and I'll say that I was too, until I remembered the Blank Space video clip and realized she's actually a good actress. Anyways, this cameo is now an internet sensation, and people cannot stop watching it and laughing about Taylor Swift investigating Taylor Swift… scroll down and check it out!
