With Law & Order: SVU returning for Season 26 in the 2024 TV schedule , Mariska Hargitay is coming back to the world of Olivia Benson and investigating offenses that are considered especially heinous in New York City. The Emmy-winner spent some of hiatus between SVU seasons on the Taylor Swift train by attending the Eras Tour, and now has weighed in on the idea of Swift someday appearing on the NBC hit drama. Considering that Taylor Swift is known to be a fan of SVU to the point of naming one of her cats after Olivia Benson , it's easy to imagine the pop superstar making the time to film at least a cameo.
Could SVU join the list of upcoming Taylor Swift projects? Mariska Hargitay shared her thoughts when speaking with E! News , saying: We can certainly dream, can't we? She’s very busy. But I’m not letting it go. If that's not a Swiftie-esque attitude toward the idea, I don't know what is! Diehard Taylor Swift fans are famously persistent, so Mariska Hargitay "not letting it go" is in line with the fandom.
Swifties did after all go as far as to show up at Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs training camp ; if they applied that enthusiasm to Mariska Hargitay's SVU thoughts, who knows what could happen? There would at least be plenty of bu z z for SVU ! To quote Hargitay , Swift is "a magic-maker," and the actress named her cat after one of the superstar's songs . Hargitay even appeared in Swift's "Bad Blood" production, which ranks as one of the best Taylor Swift music videos.
