Fans have resurfaced Taylor Swift’s Family Guy cameo
Taylor Swift did not personally voice herself in Family Guy, but she has been referenced and parodied multiple times throughout the series.
Her most notable inclusion came in the 2016 episode “Chris Has Got a Date, Date, Date, Date, Date” (Season 15, Episode 5), where a fictionalized version of Swift dates Chris Griffin and later sings a breakup song mocking him. Voice actress Ursula Taherian portrayed Swift in this episode.
Swift’s character appears during a plotline where Chris takes her to a school dance. After the event, Swift performs an exaggerated breakup song that paints Chris in an embarrassing light. The episode aired on November 6, 2016, and was directed by Brian Iles. Writers credited include Artie Johann.
In the 2013 episode, “Roads to Vegas,” Stewie bets all his money on roulette, mistakenly believing Taylor Swift has a song titled Sixteen. Brian corrects him, saying the song is Fifteen, which then coincidentally hits on the roulette wheel.
In “3 Acts of God” (2014), Peter and his friends travel to the Country Music Awards and encounter a parody version of the singer named “Taylor Not-so-Swift,” who sings a breakup song about a birthday cake.
In “Baby Got Black” (2014), Peter uses Swift’s music as an example of white culture during a conversation with Jerome. The 2019 episode “Shanksgiving,” shows Stewie demanding the DJ play You Belong With Me at his wedding reception.
A Taylor Swift album cover appears in the background of the vinyl store All Sales Are Vinyl in “Rock Hard” (2019). In “Are You There God? It’s Me, Peter,” Peter asks God about Swift and Katy Perry’s rumored feud, to which God deflects.
All appearances are parodies or references; Taylor Swift has never voiced herself on the show.
