Taylor Swift to Appear on The Tonight Show in Easter Egg-Filled Announcement Video
New York, NY — Pop megastar Taylor Swift is officially returning to late-night television! The 35-year-old singer will appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, October 6, just three days after releasing her highly anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.
Taylor Swift Set for Tonight Show Appearance
NBC confirmed on Sept. 25 that Swift will be a featured guest on the October 6 broadcast alongside actress Keri Russell, while The Format will serve as the musical guest.
The appearance will mark Swift’s seventh time on the iconic late-night show, where she has previously played memorable games like “Name That Song” and “Box of Lies” while also performing fan-favorite tracks.
Fallon Teases Swift’s Return with Easter Eggs
Host Jimmy Fallon, 51, revealed the big news in a playful Vegas-inspired Instagram video filled with hidden nods to Swift.
The clip showed Fallon playing roulette, placing chips on numbers 6, 10, and 25. The wheel eventually lands on 13, Swift’s famously lucky number, as Fallon sighs and quips:
“Baby, that’s show business for you.”
The line directly referenced a phrase Swift has used throughout the promotion of The Life of a Showgirl.
The video ended with Fallon bumping into three women dressed as showgirls, one of whom delivered the cheeky line: “Excuse us, honey.”
Fans also caught another clever Easter egg: the caption, “Not a lot going on at the moment,” a callback to the T-shirt Swift wore in her 2013 22 music video.
The Life of a Showgirl Arrives October 3
Swift’s late-night return comes right on the heels of her new album release. The Life of a Showgirl, set to drop on October 3, features 12 tracks, including a title song collaboration with rising pop star Sabrina Carpenter.
Carpenter, 26, expressed her excitement on Instagram Stories after revealing the tracklist:
“THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL OCTOBER 3rd 🧡 I know someone who’s freaking out and it’s me.”
Swift announced the album on Aug. 12 with help from her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason Kelce on their popular New Heights podcast — a moment that delighted both music and sports fans.
