Taylor Swift was both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live this week, and she kicked off the show with a hilarious new song, titled "Monologue Song (La la la)." The theme for the song was things Taylor wouldn't talk about in her monologue, including her love for sparkly dresses, Joe Jonas, her supposed new relationship with "the werewolf from Twilight," and, of course, Mr. Kanye West.

The show also featured a spot-on Twilight parody with Swift in the role of Bella Swan. Swift mirrored Kristen Stewart's mannerisms with skill, from biting her lips and fidgeting with her hair to the long, meaningful looks at her love interest, in this case Frankenstein's monster. Footage from the original movie helped put the parody over the top.

Another notable sketch was a PSA about parents' dangerous driving habits. Swift was transformed into a geek with a side ponytail and headgear for the sketch.  The list of parents' driving offenses included "driving while giving 'the birds and the bees talk,' 'driving while trying to find a cell phone you dropped,' and 'driving while singing along to a song you don't know the lyrics to.'"

Tell us in the Comments: What's the funniest line in Taylor's "Monologue Song?"  We especially loved her aside to Joe Jonas.
