Taylor Swift is set to hit the small screen – she’ll be guest starring in an upcoming episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, network CBS announced Monday.
The 19-year-old country singer will “play Haley Jones, a teenaged girl whose family runs a seedy Vegas motel,” CBS said in a press release. “Over the course of a year, Haley goes through a series of changes that have tragic consequences.”
So, what made the CSI team choose Taylor?
“Before Christmas we reached out to Taylor Swift because one of the CBS executives had told me, ‘Taylor loves your show,’” said CSI Executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. “So Taylor came in to meet with me right before the holidays and we talked about the character.
“I said, ‘it’s a very edgy part, this may not be what you want’.
“But she said, ‘I love it, and I want to do it.’”
Mendelsohn added, “This young girl will change physically, will change her hair.
“I mean, clearly, your outward manifestation reflects the turmoil that’s inside of you, and so it’s really a very challenging role.”
The episode is slated to air in late February or early March.
