The old Taylor can't come to the phone right now, but the new one was more than happy to pick up when Saturday Night Live came calling.

Over the weekend, Taylor Swift hit 30 Rock as a musical guest for the first time since 2009, bringing her reputation with her.

Swift began with a fierce performance of "... Ready for It," singing into a gold microphone with a jewel-encrusted snake wrapped around it.

Later in the show, Swift toned things down for a lovely acoustic version of "Call It What You Want."

Old Taylor, New Taylor – whoever she is, she definitely knows how to put on a show.
