Taylor Swift is making her way around the late-night circuit in support of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. Her next stop? Late Night With Seth Meyers.
The “Elizabeth Taylor” singer sat down for an interview with Jimmy Fallon on Oct. 6, with the show airing at 11:35 p.m. on NBC. The chart-topper spoke to Fallon about her internet-breaking engagement to Travis Kelce and how she went about creating her new album. Later on in the show, the singer played a game likened to two truths and a lie, where Fallon asked if she’d turned down playing the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show because the NFL wouldn’t allow her to own the performance footage. “It has nothing to do with Travis. He would love for me to do it. I’m just too locked in,” said Swift in regards to the now-debunked rumor.
Swift revealed that she and Roc Nation producer and rap icon Jay Z have had talks about her headlining the coveted halftime show in the past. “Our teams are really close. They sometimes will call and say, ‘How does she feel about [the Super Bowl]?’ And that’s not like an official offer or like a conference room conversation. Just ‘Our teams are really close, how does she feel about it in general?’” While it’s not clear if Swift will ever step up to the plate, or turf, for the halftime show, we find it oddly comforting that she’s at least considered the opportunity.
Swift will then catch up with Meyers on Oct. 8 at 12:35 a.m., also on NBC. Prior to chatting with NBC’s late-night hosts, Swift stopped by The Graham Norton Show to talk about the album and show off her shiny new engagement ring.
The 12-track album is all that everyone is chatting about currently, and the proof is in its massive reach. On its first day of release on Oct. 3, the album sold a whopping 2.7 million copies in traditional album sales — that’s both physical and digital purchases — across all versions of the album, according to initial reports to Luminate. All 14 of Swift’s full-length studio albums and re-recorded projects from 2008’s Fearless (her second album) through 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department have debuted at No. 1.
You can watch her upcoming apperance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on NBC, but if you don’t have cable, you can also watch the Swift’s talk show appearances on a live TV streaming service like DirecTV. DirecTV’s current packages include a live NBC feed, so you can use it to watch Swift without cable. Even better: DirecTV offers a five-day free trial that you can use to stream Swift’s late-night appearances online free.
You can also watch Swift’s Late Night appearances via Peacock, the official NBCUniversal streaming service. Peacock lets you watch the talk show interviews live and on-demand afterwards.
A basic subscription to the service will run you $7.99 a month; however, the premium plan, for $10.99 a month, is the way to go if you’re looking to watch Swift talk all things The Life of a Showgirl live on TV (the basic plan also lets you stream on-demand content after their live airdate). Peacock’s premium plus membership is $16.99 a month, which lets you watch without any ads.
The Life of a Showgirl is Swift’s 12th studio album, and was released through Republic Records. The album was created during Swift’s life on the road during her Eras Tour. The album features 12 tracks, including “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Father Figure,” “Honey,” “Wi$h Li$t” and “Ruin the Friendship.” Swift announced her new album during an appearance on fiancé Travis Kelce’s podcast, New Heights.
