That's because "The Kanye West Incident" has ALREADY been invoked.

In a promo with "SNL" cast member BILL HADER . . . Taylor says, quote, "Hey, I'm Taylor Swift, and I'll be the host and musical guest this week on 'SNL'."

Then Bill, who was on his cell phone, cuts in, and says, quote, "Whoops, Kanye West just called. He thinks BEYONCÉ should host instead. Funny joke, right?"

(--You can watch it below. . .)


Taylor also tells MTV News that she's up for anything. She says, quote, "I want to look nothing like myself. I told all the writers, 'Don't count anything out.' I want to go completely, 100% in. I don't want to be halfway involved.

"Just because I have a lot of things to do as far as being musical guest and host doesn't mean I don't want to live up to my full hosting demands."
