Many, many moons ago, Kristen Stewart awkwardly stormed the big screen as protagonist Bella Swan of teen mega-hit Twilight. The story left much to be wanted, and so did her acting some would say, but it still remains one of the most successful film franchises of our generation, placing Stewart in a position atop a throne of fans. Despite a rocky relationship with the public at one point, Stewart emerged a new woman, now open about her queerness, showing off her acting chops in smaller indie projects, and engaging in this past Saturday’s Women’s March, an act which she calls not simply political but “f—ing so humanitarian,” in an interview with Variety.
As someone who is usually quick to aim any spotlight away from themselves, Stewart has taken it as a personal goal to stand up to the Trump administration and for her belief in the importance of Planned Parenthood, and she’s got a lot of people behind her.
At this point in time, Stewart acts as a low key spokesperson for any message she chooses to spread, not only because she’s beloved by movie critics and high brow art consumers, but also because of her legion of mainstream fans.
What’s this have to do with SNL? Following Aziz Ansari’s politically motivated appearance on the show shortly after Trump’s inauguration, Kristen Stewart, a sexually fluid, outspoken young woman, who was once attacked on Twitter by President Trump, is hosting and she’s bringing all of her Twi-Hards with her. She’s bringing with her everything she had to say this Saturday, and she’s ready for the barrage of tweets from hateful conservatives with their heads pressed so far up Donald’s rear end they can see his teeth. The question is, are they ready for her?
