Taylor Swift Hosts ‘Saturday Night Live’
Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift played host on Saturday Night Live last night and, in my humble estimation, did a pretty good job bringing the funny and holding her own as SNL host. As usual, some of the SNL skits fell flat but overall there were a few funny bits that actually made me laugh … so Taylor deffo scores points there. Here are a few of Taylor Swift’s SNL promo bump photos featured on the show last night:
I think pretty much everyone was waiting to see how many times Kanye West (who infamously and very rudely interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards back in September and ignited a firestorm of controversy in the process) would be mentioned or parodied but the Kanye talk was almost nonexistent. SNL referenced the incident in Taylor’s opening monologue and it got another nod in the Hollywood Dish skit but that was pretty much it. To be honest, I’m glad that last night wasn’t at all about Kanye … the less said about that a-hole, the better. After the jump, watch video of Taylor’s opening SNL monologue (and hear her performance of The Monologue Song) and watch a few of my fave SNL skits featuring Swift as featured last night in full …

Again … not all the gags were winners but all in all, I think Taylor Swift did a pretty good job hosting … and she managed to make me chuckle and chortle a few times so … mission: accomplished. Did you watch Taylor Swift host SNL last night? What did y’all think?
