The Vampire Diaries was quite the wild ride. Watching a teenage girl fall for vampire brothers is definitely a great idea for a TV series. And even though Nina Dobrev quit TVD, fans still found a lot to love about the supernatural show, from the dark moments to the fascinating romance. The show's cast have gone on to become big stars, with Nina recently starring in the Netflix Christmas movie Love Hard.
Many famous guest stars appeared on the show, from Gabby Douglas to Lauren Cohan. But there's an interesting story about a famous person who didn't star on the young adult drama but who came close. Keep reading to find out which famous singer almost appeared on The Vampire Diaries.
Who Could Have Been Cast In 'The Vampire Diaries'?
Unlike other singers who have transitioned into the world of acting, Taylor Swift hasn't held a ton of movie or TV roles. Taylor Swift's role in Cats has gotten the most buzz since fans and critics didn't love that movie very much.
It turns out that Taylor Swift was almost cast in The Vampire Diaries.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Nina Dobrev was interviewed by E! News and explained, "I remember at the very beginning, we heard that Taylor Swift was a fan of the show. And then the producers tried to write a role for her." The actress mentioned that because of Taylor's schedule, that didn't happen: Nina said, "It didn't work out schedule-wise, obviously, she wasn't on the show. But that was a surprising one. She would have been great."
In a 2009 interview with Page Six, creator Kevin Williamson said he wanted Taylor Swift to star on the show.
When Kevin was asked about Katie Holmes starring on The Vampire Diaries, he said, "I think she’s got bigger fish to fry at the moment — my new obsession is getting Taylor Swift!"
Kevin continued, "I think she’s gotten too big for “Vampire Diaries” now — I tried to get her on the show once, but she was touring. But I’m desperate to have her come play a vampire. Wouldn’t she make an amazing Kirsten Dunst circa 'Interview with the Vampire' type? Oh my god, I can not tell you how hard I’m trying to get her — I would kill to have her on the show!"
Taylor Swift Appeared On 'CSI'
Taylor Swift appeared on TV shows that are definitely very different from each other: CSI and New Girl.
Taylor Swift is a huge fan of CSI and according to CBS News, she once said, "I'm obsessed with crime shows... All my friends know that my dream is to die on 'CSI.' I've always wanted to, like, be one of the characters on there that they're tryin' to figure out what happened to."
In the season 9 episode "Turn, Turn, Turn," which aired on March 5th of 2009, Taylor Swift played a character named Haley Jones. In the episode, Nick goes to the Park Pines Motel to investigate a murder, and finds out that Haley, the daughter of the couple who run the motel, has died.
Taylor Swift's Next Acting Role
Taylor Swift will star in a movie by David O. Russell. The Hollywood Reporter shared the news in June 2021 and said that no one knew anything about the story yet but there are a lot of famous people in it. Collider reported that the movie will come out on November 4th of 2022.
The other actors attached to the project include Timothy Olyphant, Mike Myers, Michael Shannon, Zoe Saldana, John David Washington, Christine Bale, Chris Rock, and Margot Robbie.
Back in 2013, Taylor Swift said in an interview with E! News that after acting in New Girl and Valentine's Day, she was definitely interested in adding to her acting resume. The singer said, "That's always something that's in the back of my mind, if the right thing came along. It would have to be something so amazing that it would take me away from writing songs and touring, which would have to be an incredible script."
It would have been lots of fun to watch Taylor Swift on The Vampire Diaries, but perhaps there are more acting roles in the singer's future.
According to The Mirror.co.uk, Taylor Swift said back in 2015 that she didn't want to organize her future or career too much. Taylor said, "What I'm looking forward to in 2016 is not knowing what's next. I've always planned my career a year or two in advance, and I refused to do that this time."
