Taylor Swift's 'New Girl' cameo aired in the USA last night and the show's lead actress Zooey Deschanel revealed that it was a pleasure to work alongside the hitmaker for the season finale.

During an appearance on U.S. chat show 'Katie', Deschanel explained that it was fantastic to have Swift on the set and she was impressed by how professional, talented and "funny" the young singer was:

"I love her! She's so sweet, and really tall! She's surprisingly tall. I kept being like, 'Somebody bring me a pair of heels!' [because] I just looked like a shrimp! She is awesome and so funny. She's a wonderful person and so talented."

Before last night's broadcast (May 14), the 'I Knew You Were Trouble' beauty tweeted to tell her fans the episode she features in was about to be shown: "About to watch the New Girl season finale and I totally would be even if I wasn't in this episode. @NewGirlonFOX."

Earlier this month, Jake Johnson (who plays Nick Miller on the show) also praised Swift's acting ability and said: "She came in and is really nice. It's not an easy scene. There were probably 70 extras there, though I'm sure she performs to... much bigger (crowds) than that on a regular basis. She had, like, a little monologue and delivered it perfectly. (The producer) gave her alternative jokes and lines, she delivered them all perfectly. It was frustrating!"
