Watch Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Amy Schumer Poke Fun at Taylor Swift’s #Squad on SNL

As we all know by now, 2015 is the year in which Taylor Swift ruined #squad for everyone else. For their excellent co-hosting gig on SNL over the weekend, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler poked fun at the pop singer’s favorite hashtag and all of the arguably icky feminist politics that accompany her use of it to refer to her cohort of famous, gorgeous female friends.

In a “Bad Blood”-inspired parody video, the comedians sing about their own impenetrable “Dope Squad,” which includes their nannies and a shared gynecologist. Cameos abound—most notably, Amy Schumer—and SNL cast member Aidy Bryant, playing their interviewer, provides a hilariously awkward rap break in which she boasts about “Slicing to-do lists like a samurai/ All the while dealing with a U.T.I.”
