Taylor Swift’s Recent Seth Meyers Takeover: All the Juicy Details About Travis Kelce, Zoë Kravitz, and More
Taylor Swift flaunts stunning diamond wedding bands amid engagement buzz with Travis Kelce.
For many die-hard Swift fans, catching Taylor Swift on television was a dream come true. Fresh off the release of her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl, the 35-year-old superstar appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers for a special “TAY/kover” episode, delivering a mix of humor and candid stories.
One of the funniest moments came when Taylor recounted an amusing Eras Tour experience involving her fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce. Travis thought he was chatting with acclaimed director Greta Gerwig in the VIP section alongside other celebrities. However, after his “I’m just Ken” joke fell flat, the truth dawned on both of them: he hadn’t been speaking to Greta at all.
Taylor recalled telling Travis, “’Do the math,’ I said. ’Is there any way you complimented Hugh Grant’s wife, Anna[Elisabeth Eberstein], on the movie Barbie? And she just smiled politely because she didn’t want to hurt your feelings by correcting you?’” The answer was an overwhelming yes—it was a classic mix-up.
Taylor also shared a playful take on a story involving her friend Zoë Kravitz and Zoë’s mom, Lisa Bonet, who accidentally released a pet python in Taylor’s house while staying there during the Los Angeles fires earlier this year. The chaotic episode ended with a handyman using an axe to open a “vintage antique cupboard” in Taylor’s bathroom to free the snake. Taylor joked, “This is the most elegant disaster I’ve ever heard. It sounds more like a high-fashion commercial than a problem. I’m honestly bummed I missed it.”
In a reflective moment, Taylor reminisced about meeting Seth back when she hosted Saturday Night Live in 2009. She revealed that the fast-paced nature of that experience helped her prepare for the whirlwind of the Eras Tour. “That was the most costume changes I ever did in my life,” she shared. “If I could handle that, I knew I could conquer the Eras Tour’s demands.”
On discussing her latest album, Taylor expressed that The Life of a Showgirl is the most joyful record she has ever released, calling it her favorite to date.
Seth Meyers, 51, had previously announced the takeover on September 29 through a playful video in which he wore an orange cardigan inspired by the album and sipped from a mint-green mug marked with “TAY/kover 10.08.25,” while snippets of Taylor’s song “...ready for it?” played.
After taking a lower profile leading up to the release of her previous album The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor’s recent promotional efforts have reignited excitement among fans. Prior to her Seth Meyers appearance, she also stopped by the UK’s Graham Norton Show just hours after the album dropped on October 3, and then made an appearance at 30 Rock for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 6.
Adding to the buzz, Taylor hosted The Official Release Party of a Showgirl movie event over the album’s opening weekend, where fans got an exclusive first look at the music video for her new single “The Fate of Ophelia.” She promised never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage detailing the creative process — including in-depth explanations about what inspired each cut and fresh lyric videos for the new songs.
She teased her audience, urging them to dust off their Eras Tour outfits or that signature orange cardigan, adding with a wink, “Dancing is optional but definitely encouraged.”
For those eager to dive deeper into the meanings behind the lyrics of The Life of a Showgirl, more insights are on the way.
It’s notable that both E! News and Late Night With Seth Meyers fall under the NBCUniversal umbrella, highlighting the synergy behind the latest Taylor Swift media appearances.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is Taylor Swift’s blending of personal life stories with her public persona a savvy move to deepen fan connection, or does it risk overexposure? And what do you think about celebrities sharing quirky personal mishaps, like the escaped python incident—does this humanize them, or veer into creating staged entertainment?
