(AP) - Taylor Swift will have the stage
to herself next m onth — with no inter­
ruptions — w hen she hosts "Saturday
Night Live."
T he only question is: W ho will play
K anye West?
Last month. West hijacked Swift's ac­
ceptance speech after she becam e the
first country star to win best fem ale
video at the MTV Video M usic Awards.
West grabbed the m icrophone and de­
clared that Beyonce's nom inated video
for "Single Ladies" was one o f the "best
videos o f all time."
Swift called the chance to host on
Nov. 7 "m ind-blow ing" and says it's
been difficult to keep it a secret since
producers asked her during the sum ­
mer. She said she loved her experience
in January w hen she w as a m usical
guest, and will again perform w hen she
h osts.
Sw ift has been nom inated for four
Country Music Awards, including E n­
tertainer o f the Year, the youngest art­
ist in history to be honored. She has
had five No. 1 singles on country charts
and tw o consecutive No. 1 songs on
Taylor Swift
the pop charts.
