Taylor Swift took on a double role as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live (SNL) yesterday.
Swift kicked off the night singing and playing guitar to the satirical Monologue Song (La La La), where the 19-yer old country superstar addressed a lot of her relationship issues covered in the tabloids, and blew a kiss to Twilight star Taylor Lautner.
In the song, she says:
“I like writing songs about douchebags who cheat on me but I’m not gonna say that in my monologue.
“You might think I’d bring up Joe [Jonas] that guy who broke up with me on the phone, but I’m not gonna mention him in my monologue. Hey Joe, I’m doing real well. Tonight, I’m hosting SNL but I’m not gonna brag about that in my monologue. La la la. Ha ha ha. La la la.
“And if you’re wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from Twilight. Hey Taylor [Lautner]! (blows kiss, winks) But I’m not gonna comment on that in my monologue.
“You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye [West] and how he ran up on stage and ruined my VMA monologue. But there’s nothing more to say cuz everything’s okay. I’ve got security lining the stage. It’s my SNL monologue.”
Taylor finished off the song by saying:
“We have a great show. Kanye West is NOT here, so stick around. We’ll be right back.”
Nice one, Taylor!
