‘New Girl’ season 2 finale spoilers: Will Taylor Swift be ‘trouble’ at Cece’s wedding?

“New Girl” is certainly pulling out all the stops for the upcoming season 2 finale. Not only are we going to see something is sure to be chaotic in Cece’s attempted wedding during the season 2 finale later this spring, but there is going to be a big-time guest star in the mix: pop / country hitmaker Taylor Swift!

According to Entertainment Weekly, Swift has signed on to appear as a mysterious wedding guest named Elaine during the episode; not much is known about her right now, but she is set to play a pretty important role in the proceedings.(Based on appearance alone, she’s certainly not a blood relative of either the bride or the groom.) This marks Swift’s first appearance on a primetime TV comedy, though she has acted before on “Saturday Night Live” along with the movie “Valentine’s Day” alongside Taylor Lautner.

This is the second straight year that Fox has managed to book a major guest star from the music world, as Katy Perry graced “Raising Hope” last year for a memorable episode as a colorful prison guard. Given that the “California Gurls” singer was booked as a result of her friendship with star Shannon Woodward, we wonder if Swift is pals with Zooey Deschanel or someone else here enough to have convinced her to sign on.

Hopefully, this episode will provide some sort of road map to where Schmidt and Cece are going to be heading in the future, at least if Hannah Simone’s character does not end up going through with her arranged marriage. Meanwhile, let’s also hope for some good Nick / Jess storytelling to go along with it.
