It was by no means vicious, but Taylor Swift finally got in a few digs at Kanye West when she hosted NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend.
West and Swift made national news in September when he walked onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards to interrupt her acceptance speech for winning the best female video award. Other than some brief comments she made on The View shortly after the awards show, Swift has made it a point to avoid saying anything else about the incident.
In the SNL episode that aired Saturday (Nov. 7), Swift said she decided to sing her opening monolog in a new composition titled, appropriately, "Monolog Song (La, La, La)."
In it, she offered some self-deprecating humor, such as, "I like writing songs about douche-bags who cheat on me/But I'm not going to say that in my monolog/I like writing their names into songs so they're ashamed to go out in public/But I'm not going to say that in my monolog."
After taking a swipe at Joe Jonas ("who broke up with me on the phone") and gleefully acknowledging her current relationship with Twilight film star Taylor Lautner, she finished the song by singing, "You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye/And how he ran up on the stage and ruined my VMA monolog/But there's nothing more to say 'cause everything's OK/I've got security lining the stage." At that point, two SNL cast members in black suits stood on each side of her as bodyguards.
Following the song, she introduced the commercial break by saying, "We have a great show. Kanye West is not here, so stick around, and we'll be right back."
Swift was backed by her band when she sang two other songs --
