Taylor Swift is hitting the small screen!The 19-year-old country singer will guest star in an upcoming episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CBS announced on Monday.
"Swift will play Haley Jones, a teenaged girl whose family runs a seedy Vegas motel," CBS said via a press release. "Over the course of a year, Haley goes through a series of changes that have tragic consequences."
"Before Christmas we reached out to Taylor Swift because one of the CBS executives had told me, 'Taylor loves your show,' CSI Executive producer Carol Mendelsohn said. "So Taylor came in to meet with me right before the holidays and we talked about the character."
During their introductory meeting, Mendelsohn warned Swift that the character she would be playing was dark.
"I said, 'it's a very edgy part, this may not be what you want,'" Mendelsohn said. "But she said, 'I love it, and I want to do it.'"
Swift will undergo a physical transformation for the role.
"This young girl will change physically, will change her hair," Mendelsohn said. 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.
