Taylor Swift’s forgotten (and very bloody) TV cameo: Unrecognizable singer landed ‘dream’ role on gritty crime drama – but freaked out her mom in the process!

Taylor Swift is the biggest star in the world thanks to her record-breaking The Eras Tour and chart-topping singles, but she has proven herself to be a talented actress over the years.

The 34-year-old Bad Blood star made her acting debut in 2009 when she landed a “dream job” on her favorite show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, playing a troubled teen with a dark family history who finds herself the victim of a murder.

The musician, then just 19 years old and fresh off the success of his sophomore album Fearless — and that interruption by Kanye West at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards — played Haley Jones in the season nine episode Turn, Turn, Turn.

The star, known for her fresh-faced look and signature blonde hair, debuted a shocking gothic transformation featuring raven-black locks, smokey eyes and facial piercings.

Further drama ensued when Haley was found dead in a parking lot, with Taylor playing the role of a bloody corpse in the autopsy room. These scenes shocked her mother.

The episode picked up a year earlier, when Haley befriended CSI Nick Stokes (George Eads) while he was investigating crimes at the motel where she was living.

In this gritty role, Haley clashes with her mother Nicole (Lisa Darr) and transforms into a goth after being bullied online.

It turns out that Haley was accidentally stabbed to death with scissors by Nicole during an argument over her behavior and reaction to the death of her biological mother Tanya (Mim Carrow) from an overdose.

Nicole also killed Tanya after accidentally causing the death of Nicole’s daughter years earlier – thereby giving her Haley.

Taylor said of her mother Andrea’s reaction to the gory scenes: “My [own] Mom was a little freaked out. I was dead with my eyes wide open, literally staring into nothing and not breathing during the close-ups… not flinching or anything.

‘I even met Jerry Bruckheimer and Cuba Gooding Jr.!

In a 2009 interview with MTV, she said, “All my friends know my dream is to die on CSI. I’ve always wanted to be one of the characters trying to figure out what happened.

‘The character of Nick Stokes, it’s his crime that he deals with. That was really cool because he’s my favorite character.

In 2013, Swift also made a surprise cameo in the season finale of New Girl.

The hitmaker, who had just released her fourth album Red and was on the verge of superstardom even before the release of her album in 1989, showed off her acting chops in the iconic show starring Zooey Deschanel.

Taylor made a glamorous appearance at Jess (Hannah Simone) and Shivrang’s (Satya Bhabha) wedding – and caused chaos.

The beauty played a woman named Elaine, who stood up in the middle of the wedding and loudly declared her love to her childhood friend Shivrang.

She said, “Oh Shivvy! I’ve loved you since first grade. I’m so lonely without you. I just lie awake at night and write about you in my journal and I paint pictures of you on my easel.

“Will you take me away from this madness? You’re not too small for me, I don’t care what your mother says!”

The couple embraces, after which Shivrang picks up Elaine and runs away with her.

New Girl has already referenced the star a few times, even featuring her song 22 in one scene.

Taylor said of her mother Andrea’s reaction to the gory scenes: “My [own] Mom was a little panicked. I was dead with my eyes wide open, literally staring into nothing and not breathing during the close-ups… not moving a muscle or anything – photographed with Andrea and dad Scott in 2013

Taylor was also a fan of the cast and listed her favorite quotes from meeting them.

“She quoted us lines from the show. It was a very exciting evening,” Liz explained.

Swift is currently in the final months of her The Eras Tour and has a high-profile romance with NFL star Travis Kelce, 34.
