Taylor Swift’s Lyrics Make for an *Amazing* Soap Opera, as Julianne Moore
This was all the impetus James Corden needed to have his guests join him in a soap opera sketch.
The Oscar-winner’s acting chops were on full-display as she made sure to give her best deadpan delivery while participating in the silly gag called The Bold And The Lyrical. The pair spat with lines from “Blank Space”, “You Belong With Me”, and “I Knew You Were Trouble”, and Corden later tries to flex his bad boy status with “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream”. Then enters Corden, looking like he stepped right out of “Grease” in his leather jacket, white button down and black jeans.
A particularly humourous part came when Julianne says: ‘Nevermind I’ll find someone like you’.
At one point, Julianne quotes Someone Like You, before the host pulls her up on the mistake, saying: “I think that’s Adele”.
On The Late Late Show, Julianne, James and John – playing Juliette Moore, James Cordone and John Stamosa – chose to see how much raw, emotional power Swift truly packed into her lyrics for a special episode of The Bold and the Lyrical.
Adding, “Grab your passport and my hand – I can make the bad guys good for a weekend”, with a wink.
The sketch ended with all three speaking the lyrics to Swift’s hit “22”.
