Taylor Swift Crosses Over to 'Hannah Montana'

Taylor Swift Crosses Over to 'Hannah Montana'
WENN

Taylor Swift is following in the Ugg steps of her Nashville buddy Miley Cyrus, making the leap from music to the big screen. The 18-year-old country star has a cameo in the upcoming Hannah Montana: The Movie.

The relatively low-pressure role isn't much of a stretch for the musically inclined Swift. "I'm playing one of my own songs," Taylor told People. "I'm just like the bar band, which is kinda fun."

This crossover casting comes on the heels of news that American Idol finalist David Archuleta might be squeezed into the long-anticipated big-screen High School Musical.

A huge payday is quite the incentive for singing stars to step outside their comfort zones and try a different form of expression, but there should be boundaries.

If not, then movies like Cindy Crawford's Fair Game get made. People, this is why they're called "day jobs."

Quotables /
“Taylor Swift is interviewed for the CMA Celebrity Close Up event at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.

The 18-year-old country sensation was one of the headliners performing on the main stage at LP field on Thursday as part of the Music Fest’s nightly concerts.

On Saturday, June 7th, Taylor will spend the entire day meeting fans and signing autographs in the Big Machine Records booth at the CMA Music Fest’s Fan Fair Hall.

Taylor is donating all of the profits from Saturday’s sales of her merchandise at the Big Machine booth to the Nashville Area Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund in Middle Tennessee and the National American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.”

    Hopefully they don't have to act too much... Actor-turned-singer might be okay, but singer-turned-actor never works out.
