A Brief History of Taylor Swift's Acting Career

The universe is still trying to make Taylor Swift’s acting career happen.

The 28-year-old signed on for the cinematic adaptation of long-running Broadway show Cats, and we’re really not sure how to feel.

Throughout T-Swift’s uber-successful music career, she’s appeared in a handful of movies and TV shows. You'll recall that she made out with Taylor Lautner in Valentine’s Day, offered a haunting piano lesson in The Giver, crashed a wedding on New Girl, voiced a red-head in The Lorax, and, in perhaps her largest role to date, experimented with the first iteration of the “new Taylor” on an episode of CSI.

Her entire film and TV reel comes in at around 10 minutes, and honestly, (no shade, Taylor) we're kind of OK with that.

To be fair, it’s been a while (four years) since we last saw Miss Swift acting in a film or on a TV show, so maybe the new Taylor has learned a few tricks?
