Swift Takes a Swipe at Kanye

Admit it. You watched "Saturday Night Live" last weekend to hear Taylor Swift milk the Kanye incident for all its worth.
Kanye West did not interrupt Taylor Swift's monologue during "Saturday Night Live" last Saturday. Instead, Swift took a playful swipe at West for stealing her limelight at the MTV Video Music Awards a few months ago.
Swift was the host for "SNL" and opened with a comical monologue song.
Strumming her guitar to a catchy tune, Swift sang,
"You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye
And how he ran up on the stage and ruined my VMA monologue.
But there's nothing more to say, cuz everything's OK.
I've got security lining the stage."
Jason Sudeikis and Bill Hader then took the stage beside Swift, pretending to be body guards and holding up a sketch of West.

At the end of her monologue song, she ended with, "We have a great show and Kanye West is not here."
I think Swift did a great job of addressing the Kanye incident in a comical, classy manner. Although I secretly hoped to see Swift bash West, I admire the way she has handled the issue in such a mature way.
Taylor also gave a shout out to her rumored new flame, Taylor Lautner, in her monologue song, mentioning "the werewolf from Twilight," then mouthing, "Hi Taylor," winking, and blowing a kiss.
Throughout the show, Swift was on her the top of her game, from imitating Shakira to pulling a hilarious spoof of "Twilight," where she played Bella.
Let me know your thoughts.
See you tomorrow night!

  1. I thought the monologue was hilarious as well as the other skits she performed on SNL! I think the way she mentioned Kanye was really funny yet classy at the same time, which is one of the reasons I admire her and her music so much.

  2. Taylor is so great, i can't imagine anyone not liking her! SNL is a great way to poke fun at what happened without sounding negative or bitter.
