For those who love to hate on Taylor these days- you're going to have a field day with this bit of Swift news...

Hollywood trade magazine Variety has said that Taylor Swift has definitely booked the role of pioneering musician Joni Mitchell in an upcoming movie about three trailblazing singer/songwriters.

The magazine reports that Taylor landed the Joni Mitchell role in an upcoming film adaptation of Sheila Weller's book Girls Like Us, about Joni, Carole King ("It's Too Late") and Carly Simon ("You're So Vain").

Taylor's camp hasn't confirmed the news yet.  I'll say this- "I'm intrigued."  Whether you're into Taylor's music or not- she is talented.  It'll be interesting to see what she does with the role and how the singing portion is handled.

Instead of shredding her right out of the gate- which is what I'm guessing all those people who like to say hateful things while hiding behind a cartoon avatar will do- let's see how Taylor does first- then go ahead and judge.
