Note
One spelling does double duty: she guested last week, and she has guested twice. The living verb is intransitive. It means appearing as a guest on a broadcast, or sitting in with a band to supply an instrument it normally lacks, so the participle pairs with have, not be. A passive like "they were guested" belongs only to the obsolete sense of receiving someone hospitably.
