Taylor Swift goes subtly gay on an "SNL" sketchMaybe I was punch drunk from spending the day watching the Health Care Reform debate on C-Span or something, but this weekend,
And by "best" I mean "gayest." And not gay in that subtext-y "Oh, those two chicks have chemistry" kind of way, but in the "Someone secretly filmed every date I went on in high school and college and turned it into an SNL skit" kind of way. Any time anyone Googles the phrase "How do I know if I'm a lesbian?" that video should be the first result. Let's just break down the gayness:
1) Girl is on a date with a boy, but rather than making out, they are watching a dramatization of the Napoleonic wars. I actually think my college boyfriend might be writing for SNL now. How else could they know?
Taylor's monologue was cute and self-deprecating ("I've been wanting to host this show ever since I was a little kid. I remember staying up past my bedtime to watch Bill Hader and Andy Sandberg.") Bonus props to her for barely mentioning the Kanye West VMA debacle. The Digital Short, Firelight, by the makers of Twilight, was spot on, and especially funny considering the rumors that Taylor is courting Team Jacob in real life.
And most of the cast had a chance to shine on the Bunny Business soundtrack:
Sigh. I am starting to suspect that I am in actual love with Kristen Wiig. Wait — that's not what we were talking about, was it? What were we talking about? Oh, right — Taylor Swift. It's always dicey when a musician agrees to host and sing on SNL, but I think Swift was fresh and hilarious. She gave herself over to the sketches like an improv pro. I think she might really be able to act. Did any of you catch SNL on Saturday night? How many of you have been on/crashed dates like the one in the "roomies" sketch?

lol I loved Firelight !!!
lol I loved Firelight !!! Taylor did a great job with that.
-I speak in random thoughts
...
had the exact same thought,
had the exact same thought, about Ellen Page's sketch... I don't know if they used the same set but it was definitely a similar feel even once it got going.
I've found that a lot of people actually enjoyed the episode but have been almost embarrassed to admit it because of how terrible SNL has been for so long. I guess I'm in that group too, haha.
Karman thought the same thing!
Fresh and hilarious
Indeed!! Loved the show, she was very natural and it seems she was really comfortable doing the show.
And I would like to share this link about Taylor Swift when she was a guest in the Ellen Degeneres's Show last month... really funny :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGth7aSd0EM
awesome
bhahahah

hahaha !!! that made my night !!
gotta love taylor swift !
I was pleasantly surprised
I was pleasantly surprised by the latest SNL. Taylor's not too bad an actor. The roommates bit was dead on, too, very clever.
The Bunny Business sketch was funny as well, all of the cast and Taylor did a great job. PS: Keenan Thompson doesn't look too bad in drag haha.
Kenan in drag
his best drag I think was
Heyyyy Bennett!!!!!
I loved her in snl. I thought some of the sketches we're kind of poorly written, but she did a really good job for what she had to work with. She's a pretty good actress. I do agree snl has gotten pretty lame over the years. Kristen Wig is probably one of the funniest on that show.

Great episode!
I really liked all of Taylor's skits and I thing she looked awesome in the prison one (though I did not like her singing on the show. ha), but Amy's appearance was by far the best part of the episode! I had to pause it so that I could relax and stop jumping up and down and missing everything she was saying.
And then the Penelope skit. hehe.
haaaaaaaaaaaaa
Best post!!!!!!!!! I only got to see half of the show. thanks for posting those skits
kristen wiig cracks me up.
oh taylor swift
so tay gives no gay vibe for anyone?
a couple young cousins of mine went through Hendersonville High when Taylor was there, they stayed on and graduated after she left. They say the inside talk about her was she was a pillow queen, she never gave so didn't consider herself to be bi. Also it was rumored that her fiddle player Emily that had been with her for a couple years and was suddenly gone was fired because she was caught "relieving Tay's stress in an inappropriately oral manner." No idea if there was any truth to any of it, or if it was just jealous high school manufactured gossip. She was always very close to her close girlfriends and still is as can be seen in the end of this home video she made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w4A1vVaNmE Maybe the SNL skit was co-written by Taylor herself if she has first-hand experience at running off boyfriends because she and her best friends are too close. I have to say I never get a gay vibe from her myself, and she always is such a sweet and adorable person you can't help but love her.
I wouldn't say that I get a
I wouldn't say that I get a gay vibe from her, because I haven't seen enough appearences of her, but I really love her music and I have to say I've always identified with her lyrics and thought they "translated" really well for lesbians.

Just so you know, my first thought when I see you is not "I want to fuck that girl".
I also dont get a gay vibe
Vibe
She did do an overall good
No suspecting here
I think I'm now...
in love with "Swifty"
She's absolutely adorable, and seems like an all around good person from what I've seen.
Also, I thought that about the Ellen Page sketch. Poor Andy's characters can't bark up the right tree for anything...
did anyone else catch..
Loved the whole episode
ahahahahahahaha
That Natalie Merchant impression was HILARIOUS
And Keenan in drag is so funny. Both as Whoopi and Jennifer Hudson. Hahahaha I'm still laughing.
Omg. this has been on of my favorite SNL episode ever. Even with the super awkward skit of The View.
BEEENNEETTTTT. hahahaha
Loved It!!
This has got to be one of the best SNL's I have seen in a very long time.. Not only was Taylor Swift hysterical, but AMY POEHLER came back, which is amazing all on it's own.. There were a couple throw away sketches (Swine Fever?), but it was a lot less then what I have come to expect from SNL. The Roomies sketch was great, as was Bunny Business (I can't get the "Shakira" song out of my head, "..bunny girls hop on your bunny boys..", genius!), but how has no one mentioned the Parental Driving PSA? I lost it when Kristen Wiig was singing the wrong lyrics to Lady Gaga's "LoveGame" and hit the pedestrian. Her facial expression was priceless!
Overall- Great episode, SNL should definitely invite Ms. Swift back.
ha yeah although
I WANTED TO SEE SOME KISSING from the obsessive roomies... Hahaha I also liked when she did the Shakira skit... so funny. And she looked so pretty doing the Twilight skit, hahaha "Who are them??" "Those are the Franks"... the dark hair suited her very well.
"Were I receptive to such proposition, it would first require a full booty check, and if you were to pass muster, baby I'd give it to you family style"-Peggy Peabody
The bestest
I would have to say that the part that really cracked me up in the Roomies sketch was when Taylor pulled the girl and the couch halfway across the room.
"no"-Tug-"No" Tug-"No" Tug-"No" Tug-"No" Tug-"No" Tug-"No" Tug-"No" Tug-"NO" Tug-"NoooOOooo".
Those plaintive cries of distress were the clincher for me.
bhahah

hopefully this helps
Very Cute!
LOVED the monologue song
taylor swift <3
Class Act
:)
I really enjoyed....
Oh boy..
That skit is just about every relationship I've had with a best friend.
Minus the uber-annoyingness...I think.or hope :/
Then again, I'm still in high school, but that is definitely not far from the truth.
When I play doctor, I play to win.
agreed...
Nah
Not gonna lie, I'm not too fond of any of the skits, but her monologue was uber hilarious.
wow i just developed a major
wow i just developed a major crush on taylor
shes so adorable nd funny and she was really hot as shakira
I USED TO...
Wasn't expecting it
but Taylor definitely rocked the skits posted in this article! I never would've guessed she had it in her - esp the Shakira impression. But I love how she was spot on with Kristen Stewart's tucking her hair behind her ear thing. TS isn't nearly as annoying as I'd previously thought, and I hope she continues on with more comedy acting. Mad props!
~ I can resist everything but temptation~
i couldnt get my eyes off the tv
the eoomies skit was so cute, and haha i did not expect it to go there whatsoever! but yeah it made me think of the times when i'd hang be hanging with a girl friend watching tv or a movie and all of a sudden they want to cuddle... made me wonder "really? where is this coming from?"
it also made me wish i was best friends with tswift haha.
<3 Taylor
I just love Taylor ! ! ! She did a WONDEFUL job! I want more of this ! ;)
