The Saturday Night Live alum, who is hosting the 2016 American Music Awards alongside Gigi, says he already got “friend-zoned.”

“I can’t wait to meet her friends. I know she got friends,” Jay told Billboard. “She taken, she with Zayn, I can’t mess with her, but I can talk to her friends. We’ve already established I’m already in the friendzone, so it’s cool for me.”

He added, “I know where I stand, it’s all good, I’m just like, ‘Hey, can you introduce me to the fellow Taylor Swift gang?’ That’s what I want: The squad. I want to see the squad.”
