The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is set to debut a special episode this Friday – “Taylor Swift (Extended Cut)” – featuring more moments from Swift’s late-night interview.
The pop star stopped by Monday The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Swift, who was all dressed up in a shimmering silver dress, discussed a variety of topics, including her latest album Showgirl’s lifereleased October 3. Friday’s special episode will feature additional, not-yet-released moments from Fallon’s interview with Swift.
Swift opened up about her recent engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Fallon joked that he was “blinded” by Swift’s ring, which she showed off to the host and camera. She joked that on Kelce’s podcast, New heightswas a “distraction” not to notice that the yard was being decorated for the big proposal.
Later, in a play on the many rumors swirling around the pop star, she and Fallon put some things to bed. Swift made it clear throughout the game that she didn’t tell her friend Selena Gomez that she “beat” Swift to the altar during a speech at Gomez’s recent wedding. “I didn’t talk about myself,” she told Fallon.
She also addressed speculation that she turned down the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show due to a dispute over ownership of the footage. “No,” she told Fallon when he asked if that’s why she didn’t want to take the job, adding that Jay-Z and his team have always been good to her.
Monday’s show marked Swift’s seventh appearance on the show over the years. While the appearance was presented strictly as an interview (rock band The Format was the episode’s musical guest), the singer and Fallon performed songs from Showgirl and broke them. The crowd sang “Opalite,” “Wood,” and “The Fate of Ophelia.” Swift cheekily told the crowd that “Wood,” her most exciting track to date, started out innocent.
Swift’s 12th album, produced and written by the singer herself with hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback, was seen as a return to some of her more standard pop albums, like 1989but he instead managed to be the love child of Always And Midnights. The album sold 2.7 million copies on its release day (October 3), making that day alone its biggest week ever, according to Luminate via Billboard.
In addition to the album, Swift released a cinematic companion this weekend, which included the chance to see the music video for the album’s first single, Ophelia’s destinybefore going online on Sunday. Swift directed the video, which was filmed by frequent collaborator and Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, and features choreography by famed choreographer Mandy Moore, who worked on the singer’s Eras tour.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Taylor Swift (Extended Cut) will air on NBC this Friday, October 10 at 11:35 p.m. local time, and stream the next day on Peacock.
