Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
“America Needs Football”: ‘SNL’ Fumbles Cold Open With NFL Pre-Game Offensive Ahead Of AFC & NFC Championship Games
deadline.com“Without football, what are we going to talk about?” asked the NFL Today’s Nate Burleson in the pro-football thick cold open to Saturday Night Live. “I mean, does anyone have anything remotely insightful to say?” the Devon Walker-portrayed satirical version of the former Detroit Lion added. “I wished, instead of salt, the ocean was full of sugar,” responded James Brown (Kenan Thompson).
Yep. To answer that last question from Burleson/Walker in the specific: Nothing remotely insightful in tonight’s cold open for sure.
Lamenting the near end of the NFL season after this weekend, the cold open literally threw everyone and everything against the wall.
In a land speed record even for SNL, they name-dropped Taylor Swift, the final season of “dentist office” fav Blue Bloods, the Pro Bowl, the Fast & Furious franchise, those troubled Boeing 737s, CBS viewership and the decline of linear TV, America’s cultural and political divides, Yellowstone and more with a tongue-distinctly-in-cheek dollop of existential angst.
