Taylor Swift Makes Her Late-Night Return! Singer Announced as Guest on The Tonight Show in Easter Egg-Filled Video

Taylor Swift is returning to late-night!

The pop superstar, 35, is set to make an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, Oct. 6, just days after the release of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The NBC show announced the news on Thursday, Sept. 25, confirming in a release that Swift will appear on the show alongside actress Keri Russell, while The Format will perform. 

It will mark the “Cruel Summer” singer’s seventh appearance on the talk show. 

Host Jimmy Fallon also teased the news on Instagram in a Vegas-inspired video which was full of Swift-style Easter eggs. In the clip, Fallon, 51, could be seen playing roulette and placing his chips on the numbers 6, 10 and 25. 

The roulette wheel then spins and the ball lands on number 13 – Swift’s lucky number — as Fallon shares his disappointment at not winning big. 

“Baby, that’s show business for you,” he says, referencing a phrase Swift has been using to promote The Life of a Showgirl. 

The comedian then bumps into three women dressed as showgirls, with one telling him, “Excuse us, honey,” as the clip ends.

The video was captioned, “Not a lot going on at the moment,” a nod to the famous T-shirt Swift wears in the video for her 2013 track, “22.” 

“@taylorswift joins us Monday 10/6/25 to talk The Life of a Showgirl! Tune in at 11:35/10:35c on @nbc! ❤️‍🔥,” The Tonight Show’s Instagram account added in the comments section. 

Swift last appeared on the show in 2022 to promote her 10th studio album Midnights. During her appearances, she has played games including “Name That Song” and “Box of Lies” and performed tracks such as “New Year’s Day.”

The musician is set to release her new record on Oct. 3. She announced the news with the help of boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce on their New Heights podcast on Aug. 12.

The album will feature 12 tracks, including a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track.
