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.

‘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.

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

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.
