Taylor Swift's Final Appearance on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' Wraps Up 'The Life of a Showgirl' Press Tour
Taylor Swift made a final appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” to wrap up her press tour for “The Life of a Showgirl.” The episode, which coincidentally marked Meyers’ 1,713th show, aligned with Swift’s 12th studio album and her lucky number 13. They discussed her record-breaking album release and the “Fate of Ophelia” music video, where she reunited with her Eras Tour dancers and backup singers. Swift shared that she played the album for her dancers before filming the video, highlighting their ability to keep secrets from the tour.
Reflecting on her stadium tour, Swift admitted to feeling FOMO while watching the VIP tent each night. She recounted a moment at one of her London shows where her then-boyfriend, now fiancé Travis Kelce interacted with celebrities like Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Tom Cruise, Hugh Grant, and Greta Gerwig. Kelce’s attempt at humor with Gerwig led to a case of mistaken identity, where he complimented Hugh Grant’s wife on a movie she didn’t direct. Swift humorously recounted the mix-up and the subsequent realization.
With the “Showgirl” rollout coming to an end, Swift is now focusing on wedding planning. Meyers suggested various invitation ideas, jokingly suggesting a framed print to avoid being perceived as arrogant. Swift also discussed her recent interests, including baking bread and a memorable encounter with Meyers on SNL in 2009. She reflected on the excitement of hosting SNL at 19 and the skit they did parodying “Twilight,” a film that was iconic in 2009.
Looking back on her SNL experience, Swift humorously credited it with preparing her for the costume changes and chaos of the Eras Tour. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to parody “Twilight” and acknowledged how it shaped her readiness for future endeavors. Swift concluded by sharing that her 12th album release has been her most joyful yet, marking a new chapter in her career.
