It's a testament to the incredible popularity of Taylor Swift that people keep asking her to get onscreen and "act." We use that term in the loosest possible sense, of course, since Swift has all the acting chops of an over-tired four-year-old in their first school play. She talks uncharacteristically loudly, she enunciates self-consciously, and she moves like she's been locked in an industrial freezer for five hours. Rumor has it, however, that she and good pal Lena Dunham are plotting a Swift appearance on HBO marvel
Girls. Friendship is a beautiful thing, but in the interest of this wonderful series, we'd like to plead with Dunham to reconsider putting Taylor Swift in it -- and we've got five good reasons why.
1. Taylor Swift on New Girl Frankly, viewers should've been rewarded for getting through the disappointing second season of the (once hilarious)
New Girl, but instead, what were we subjected to in the finale? Beloved character Cece breaking up with her fiance at the altar, only to have him respond by announcing he's in love with some Elaine. Cue Taylor Swift popping up out of the congregation and doing her go-to awards face (see above). She slowly bounced up and and down in an attempt to look excited, before saying: "Will you take me away [weird pause] from this madness?" In case you missed it, it was [justifiable pause] fucking awful.
