New Girl “Elaine’s Big Day” (Netflix)
Taylor Swift had a very brief appearance on the New Girl Season 2 finale. The episode revolves around Cece (Hannah Simone)’s wedding to Shivrang (Satya Bhabha). “Elaine’s Big Day” contains a lot of relationship drama between Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel), as they contemplate if they should end their relationship or become more serious about it.
Spoiler alert to those who haven’t binged New Girl yet, it also ends with Cece calling off her wedding to Shivrang because she’s still in love with Schmidt (Max Greenfield), forcing him to pick between her and current girlfriend Elizabeth (Merritt Wever). Shivrang admits that he’s also in love with someone else: Elaine (Taylor Swift). Taylor pops out of nowhere and gives a very funny speech that lists all the problems with their relationship. The unlikely pair then runs off together. It’s a very brief appearance that allows Swift to deliver some funny lines in a wholesome manner only fitting for a persona like Swift.

Taylor Swift: Just For You (Amazon Prime)
This 60 minutes documentary goes into the career of Taylor Swift by having industry professionals talk about what makes her such a big star. It also shows some clips and stock footage from previous Taylor Swift interviews, music videos, red carpet images, etc. The short documentary doesn’t offer anything groundbreaking that most diehard fans haven’t already read or heard, but if you’re a new Taylor Swift fan, then this might be a good summary of her career and how she became such a high profile figure. Even if you are a huge Taylor Swift fan, Just For You could just satisfy your need for more Swift related content.

Saturday Night Live Season 35, Episode 5 (Hulu)
Taylor Swift has made many Saturday Night Live appearances, especially as a musical guest. In 2009, she did double duty as musical guest and host. In her opening monologue, she poked fun at some of her famous exes, including Joe Jonas, and the Kanye West VMA moment and on-going feud. The Saturday Night Live gig allowed her to show her skills as a singer, and her love for comedy.
One of Taylor's best skits (which was a digital short) was her “Firelight” one, a parody of Twilight. Swift did a great job mimicking Kristen Stewart’s mannerisms, and it’s even funnier because at the time she was rumored to be dating Twilight’s own Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Another great skit from her hosting gig is the Hollywood Dish one where she just reacts to the insanity of Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig’s characters. They do funny faces while she talks. Surprisingly, this might not be Swift’s strangest interview.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation-”Turn, Turn, Turn,” (Hulu)
Taylor Swift made an appearance in Season 9, Episode 16 of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She plays a character named Haley who has ties to Nick (George Eads)’s past.

Hannah Montana Movie (Disney Plus)
Taylor Swift only appears in one scene of Hannah Montana: The Movie to sing “Crazier.” The scene is a cute one because it helps showcase the romance between Miley (Miley Cyrus) and Travis (Lucas Till) and Robby (Billy Ray Cyrus) and Lorelai (Melora Hardin). Since this is only a one scene thing, if you really like Hannah Montana and Taylor Swift, then you get the best of both worlds.
