In the episode that aired on Tuesday, October 8, viewers quickly noticed a potential nod to the 'Anti-Hero' singer, when Gomez, along with co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin, visit a quirky doll-filled home owned by guest star Melissa McCarthy, who plays the sister of Short's character.

This episode aired just over a month after Gomez hinted at the possibility of a Swift cameo during an interview with E! News. When asked about the chance of Swift appearing on the show, Gomez playfully remarked, "She's a little busy, you guys."

The conversation took a lighthearted turn when a reporter suggested that Swift could simply walk by in an episode. Gomez responded, “I love that.”

Martin added his thoughts, saying, “Here’s how I unite Taylor Swift and Selena. Taylor Swift handles everything perfectly, and so does Selena. In the situations I've seen—politically, trolls, everything—she just seems to have a wisdom about how to do something quietly, effortlessly. And I know that you have to think about these things.”
