Taylor Swift pulled off television's strangest split-screen on Monday night, sitting beside Tom Cruise at Arrowhead Stadium while a pre-recorded Law & Order: Special Victims Unit sketch turned her Emmys no-show into the ceremony's most talked-about moment, hosted by her friend Mariska Hargitay.
The 36-year-old singer chose her husband Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs season opener over the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. Both aired at the same time. Swift appeared in both.
