Seth Meyers was amazed by then-19-year-old Taylor Swift performing a 'perfect' monologue song for him and ‘SNL’ executive producer Lorne Michaels in 2009
Seth Meyers was amazed when 19-year-old Taylor Swift pitched a monologue to him and Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels when she hosted the show for the first time — and he still remembers it to this day.
Swift has appeared on Saturday Night Live seven times. During her November 2009 debut appearance, she performed her multi-platinum hit “You Belong with Me” from her second album, Fearless, and “Untouchable” from the Fearless: Platinum Edition. as part of Swift’s mission to regain ownership of her masters.)
Meyers remembered that Swift’s presentation was far superior to what he and his staff had written for her for the show, and he imagined making that confession to her. “Insane,” Meyers said of the hosting duties. “Here’s what’s even crazier. I work on that show for 12.5 years. And then I think about three years after I left, I went back and I hosted for the first time. And if you ask me what it was like to host, I would tell you today — and I worked there longer than almost anybody — Howard, no one tells you anything. Like, even I, who had worked there, couldn’t believe how it works.
