By Matthew B. Zeidman

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 1/14/09 – She made a cameo appearance as a street-smart Annie on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live,” but now country singer Taylor Swift has secured a more substantial acting role on an episode of CBS’ “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.”

The network announced Monday that Swift, 19, would play a teenage girl whose family owned a motel of ill repute. Her character, Haley, will be faced with “tragic consequences” in the wake of a major personal transformation.

No hard airdate has been announced, but Us Magazine reported the episode was tentatively scheduled to air in late winter.

Swift was recently named the best-selling artist of 2008 by Nielsen SoundScan for selling in excess of 4 million albums that year. She was also named Top Country Artist and Hot Country Songwriter of 2008 by Billboard magazine.
