(One thing I didn’t realize until recently is that the frets have her name embroidered in gold lettering). She immediately cracks a joke about her age, says that she’s having all kinds of nervousness and excitement about hosting, and pulls out her trusty guitar. So maybe they asked her to host just because she was very much In The News.Īnyway, SNL does its whole, “Ladies and Gentleman: Taylor Swift!” intro, and Taylor struts out - and I use the word struts intentionally here - wearing her trademark sequined gown and perfectly-curled blonde hair. The now-infamous MTV video awards where Kanye West stormed the stage to avenge Beyoncé’s loss for Best Female Video, on the other hand, had taken place about 7 weeks prior on Sept 13, 2009. Usually, SNL hosts come on to promote a recent show, movie, or album release, but as far as I know this wasn’t the case for Taylor because Fearless had been released a year earlier and Speak Now wouldn’t come out until October 2010. The eve of Taylor Swift’s Monologue Song was her first time hosting, but her second time appearing on the show after her January 2009 performance as the musical guest. She is very much by Problematic Fave / Milkshake Duck. I still listen to her OG country albums despite how poorly they have aged along with my feminism, and I think she is a PR evil genius. I bought tickets to not one but two of her Reputation tour shows (both of which I had to miss for personal reasons).
#TAYLOR SWIFT SNL MONOLOGUE SERIES#
I will defend the show with my life while my critic friends slam it, and I am still selfishly hoping that Bobby Moynihan’s new series gets cancelled so he can come back and be the Secondhand News guy forever. The cast and characters have established places in my personal relationships and inside jokes, and occasionally, when I am at my lowest, I revisit skits and moments that will make me laugh. It’s been probably a decade since I missed an episode. I take Saturday Night Live very seriously. But as a devoted, unabashed fan of both, this is something I think about a lot and tonight happens to be the anniversary. No one super cares about Taylor Swift right now, nor did they ask for my thoughts about an episode of Saturday Night Live from nine years ago. At least Lautner kept his shirt on.I realize this is not usually what people read my blog for. That was, as they say in the business, a choice. Unfortunately, Monologue Lautner “made things right” by practicing some Gymkata moves on a Kanye mannequin. “I magine being so insecure that you make a whole monologue about what you would / should have done,” wrote u/ papcorn_grabber. U/spacembracers started the thread with Taylor Lautner, the Twilight star who used the 30 Rock stage to defend his then-girlfriend Taylor Swift (did we miss the opportunity to call them TayTay?) after failing to do so at the VMAs. Here are the SNL monologues users voted most likely to make you wince. So when u/spacembracers asked the r/LiveFromNewYork subreddit “What’s the cringiest opening monologue you’ve seen?”, several fans were happy to weigh in with their opinions. With nearly 50 years of comics, actors, athletes, and icons opening the show with jokey monologues, Saturday Night Live can’t help but have its share of disastrous host turns over the years.
