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.
