At the time she appeared on CSI, Swift was fulfilling “a dream,” MTV reported, as she played someone who died on the show.
“I’ve always wanted to be one of the characters on there that they’re trying to figure out what happened to,” she told CBS News. “I also love the whole crime-scene aspect of it, of figuring things out and analyzing.”

In her first animated film, Swift gave voice to Audrey, love interest to Zac Efron’s Ted.

Taylor Swift on ‘New Girl’ in 2013
FOX IMAGE COLLECTION VIA GETTY
New Girl was known for its amazing celebrity cameos (ahem, Prince!), but Swift’s stole the show, as she stopped Cece’s wedding from happening on the season 2 finale.
“I’m a huge fan of hers,” showrunner Liz Meriwether told EW at the time. “I was fully geeking out about meeting [Taylor]. I didn’t go to meet her right away because I kind of had to compose myself — there’s a 14-year-old girl inside of me.” And, by the way, she “nailed it,” Meriwether added of her monologue.

The singer’s role was brief but powerful in the 2014 adaptation of the novel. And according to Variety, director Phillip Noyce gave her a brunette wig “to make her distinctive and un-Taylor-like,” he said. “Being vulnerable comes very naturally to her, because she’s a conduit of emotions in her work. So she just has to go to the place, as I kept reminding her, that she goes to when she writes.”
