Country cutie Taylor Swift took to the stage as both a performer and a host on Saturday Night Live last night, and boy did she ever deliver, pulling double duty and appearing in a variety of hilarious scripts. For all those wondering if Swift would mention her relationships and the Kanye debacle, she got those out of the way early on - her opening monologue, which could be better referred to as a song (Swift strummed her guitar to "The Monologue Song") covered her relationship tribulations with ex Joe Jonas and her run-in with Mr. West at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Sang Swift, "You might think I'd bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone/ Hey, Joe, I'm doing real well, tonight I'm hosting 'SNL.' " She also made light of the prevailing rumor that she's dating New Moon star Taylor Lautner with the verse, "If you're wondering if I might/ Be dating the werewolf from 'Twilight'/ I'm not gonna comment on that/ In my monologue," which she interrupted with a wink, then mouthed, "Hi, Taylor," to the camera.
After the crowd went wild for her Taylor reference, she continued: "You might be expecting me to say/ Something bad about Kanye/ And how he ran up on the stage/ But there's nothing more to say/ 'Cause everything's OK/ I've got security lining the stage." She ended her monologue with another dig at Kanye, saying, "Kanye is not here."
Reports MTV:
In later sketches, Swift showed off her acting chops, impersonating Kate Gosselin in a send-up of "The View," then donning a dark wig to spoof "Twilight" in the Digital Short "Firelight," which replaced vampires with Frankenstein monsters.
She also threw on a goatee and cornrows to play a wild-eyed convict in a "Scared Straight" skit, some pajamas in a turn as an over-affectionate roommate and, in the night's final sketch, a long blond wig for a jittery, hip-shaking impersonation of Shakira.
Pulling double duty as both host and musical performer, Swift also took the stage for a pair of songs: a spirited version of "You Belong With Me" and a stripped-down "Untouchable."
