Via taylorswift.com

Swift wrote her own opening monologue/song when she hosted SNL back in 2009. In the song she addresses Kanye West, the VMAs, her break-up with Joe Jonas, and admits that she was in a relationship with Twilight hunk, Taylor Lautner. Say what you will about Taylor, but that takes a lot of guts to do, especially live on national television. Props to her.

There isn't a video available of the monologue, so here are the lyrics instead:

"Monologue Song (La La La)"

I like glitter and sparkly dresses,

But I'm not gonna talk about that

In my monologue

I like baking and things that smell like winter,

But I'm not gonna talk about that

In my monologue

La la la, la la la

I like writing songs about douche bags who cheat on me,

But I'm not gonna say that

In my monologue

I like writing their names into songs so they're ashamed to go in public,

But I'm not gonna say that

In my monologue

La la, la la la la la

This is my musical monologue

You might think I'd bring up Joe,

The guy who broke up with me on the phone,

But I'm not gonna mention him

In my monologue

Hey Joe! I'm doing real well,

Tonight I'm hosting SNL

But I'm not gonna brag about that

In my monologue

La la la, ha ha ha

Ha ha ha, ha ha ha

La la la

And if you're wondering if I might,

Be dating the werewolf from Twilight,

(Hi Taylor!)

I'm not gonna comment on that

In my monologue

La la, la la la la la

This is my musical monologue

You might be expecting me to say

Something bad about Kanye

And how he ran up on the stage

And ruined by VMA monologue.....

But there's nothing more to say

Cause everything's okay

I've got security lining this stage

This is my SNL monologue

La la, la la la la la

This is my SNL monologue

La la, la la la la la

That was my SNL monologue

Yes, Swift has had her fair share of exes (Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Harry Styles, John Mayer, Connor Kennedy, and Jake Gyllenhaal), but it's resulted in some awesome break-up songs. Listed below are songs rumored to be about her exes.

Joe Jonas (July 2008-October 2008)

Let's start off with Joe Jonas:

"Forever and Always" Fearless

"Last Kiss" Speak Now

"Holy Ground" Red

Taylor Lautner (August 2009-December 2009)

billboard.com / Via carbonated.tv

Swift didn't write a harsh break-up song about Lautner, but she did write a song apologizing to the Twilight hunk for breaking his heart.

"Back to December" Speak Now

John Mayer (December 2009-February 2010)

billboard.com / Via hollywoodlife.com!1/59100172/

Although John Mayer denies they were ever together, the song Swift wrote about him speaks otherwise:

"Dear John" Speak Now

Jake Gyllenhaal (October 2010-January 2011)

Jake Gyllenhaal must have really left a mark on Taylor, because the album Red is practically all about him:

"State of Grace" Red

"Red" Red

"All too Well" Red

"I Almost Do" Red

"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" Red

"The Last Time" Red

"Sad Beautiful Tragic" Red

Conor Kennedy (July 2012-October 2012)

Conor Kennedy seemed to be only a summer fling, but Taylor certainly wrote a lovely song about him before the end of their relationship:

"Begin Again" Red

She also wrote a song for Conor's grandmother, Ethol:

"Starlight" Red

Harry Styles (November 2012-January 2013)

Apparently before Styles and Swift went public with their relationship in late 2012, the One Directioner and country pop-star, had a fling in the beginning of the year. However, rumor has it that Styles was caught kissing an Australian model, and once Swift got word of it, she ended the secret fling. Taylor wrote a song about him before they got back together:

"I Knew You Were Trouble" Red

One can only imagine the songs Swift will write next…
