Here comes the New Girl! Taylor Swift steps out after landing role in Zooey Deschanel's TV series

Taylor Swift had a big smile on her faces as she stepped out in New York on Friday, and it's little wonder.
The country singer has landed a role in the hit TV show New Girl.
The State of Grace hitmaker – who is known to be a big fan of the series - will make an appearance in the May 14 finale of the comedy show, which stars Zooey Deschanel as adorable-but-awkward teacher Jess.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Taylor will portray a character called Elaine, who is an 'important guest' at the wedding of Cece (Hannah Simone) and Shivrang (Satya Bhabha).
The 23-year-old star has been name-checked on several occasions in the series and in one episode Taylor's latest single 22 played in the background while Nick (Jake Johnson) was trying to cheer up Jess.
It's not the first time the blonde beauty has tried her hand at acting.

Taylor has also featured in movies such as 2010 comedy Valentine's Day, which saw her star as a ditzy girlfriend of a high school student.
Last year, the I Knew You Were Trouble singer voiced tree-lover Audrey in animated film The Lorax opposite Danny DeVito and Zac Efron.
