Taylor Swift is heading back to late-night TV, and she’s bringing glitz, glam, and sparkle with her! The pop princess will sit down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show this October 6th, 2025, just three days after her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” drops. She’ll share the couch with Keri Russell while indie band The Format handles the music. This will be the pop star’s seventh time on the show.

Jimmy Fallon teased the announcement in the most Taylor-coded way possible. He starred in a Vegas-inspired promo, playing roulette with numbers like 6, 10, and 25. The ball cheekily landed on 13, the artist’s favorite number, before three glamorous showgirls made their appearance. Fallon closed it out with, “Baby, that’s show business for you,” a nod to Taylor Swift’s new album slogan. Fans immediately put all the Easter eggs together, including the caption “Not a lot going on at the moment,” a callback to Taylor’s 2013 “22” music video.

Taylor Swift’s last appearance on the show was in 2022 to promote her Grammy-winning album “Midnights.” This time, her new record shelves will be hitting streaming platforms (and shelves) on October 3rd with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track. A film will accompany the album, “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” which will be released in cinemas from October 3rd to 5th. The movie will feature the premiere of the new single “The Fate of Ophelia,” along with behind-the-scenes tea, her reflections on the making process of the album, and new lyric videos.
