Taylor Swift Tour

Taylor Swift to Host Saturday Night Live

Posted by Janice Bryant On October 15, 2009

Next month when she is the host of “Saturday Night Live” the stage will be all Taylor Swift’s- without any interruptions.

There is only one question: who is going to play Kayne West’s role?

Last month West disrupted the acceptance speech of Swift, who became only the first country star ever to win the MTV Video Music Award for best female video. West grabbed Swift’s microphone and then declared “Single Ladies”, Beyonce’s video, as one of the very best videos ever.

Swift said she had been thinking over ideas for skits for a very long time. Over the last few months some pretty hilarious things definitely have been happening to me that will make some really substantial skits.

As far as getting the opportunity to host Saturday Night Live on November 7, Swift referred to it as mind blowing. She said that it had been hard keeping it a secret ever since she had been asked by producers over the summer and added that she had really loved the experience when she had been a musical guest in January. When she hosts the show she will perform again.

Swift said that she loved being around the kind of people who feel she has a different type of creative genius. Funny geniuses are very fascinating to be around.

Taylor Swift will join Janet Jackson, Sting and Justin Timberlake among others who in the past on the show have pulled double duty.

Just like Justin Timberlake did, Swift hopes to be able to collaborate with Andy Samberg, cast member of Saturday Night Live, on a music video.

Swift said she had been a fan forever, but did go back and rewatch it all over again over the last couple of months. It would be a lot of fun to do digital shorts. They have done them so well and Andy Samberg is absolutely hilarious.

Swift, in addition to preparing for her stint on SNL, is also completing the first part of the tour for “Fearless” this weekend. On October 27 Swift will be performing on the show “Dancing With the Stars.”

Her album “Fearless” has sold over 4 million copies. Swift has now sold over 10 million albums in her career and over 20 million in paid song downloads.

In addition Taylor has four CMA Award nominations, which include Entertainer of the Year. She is the youngest artist ever to have had that honor. Swift has had two No. 1 songs in a row hit the pop charts and five singles make it to No.1 on the country charts.
