The beginning of October is going to be a Taylor Swift world. Not that we aren't living in her universe already, of course, but any time a new album is dropped by the pop queen, there is information and celebration overload. The fun starts on October 3.
That is when Swift's The Life of a Showgirl will drop. The album is the beginning of a new era for the singer, and hopefully a happy one. We can assume that she is quite happy currently, and recently announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
But Swifties are going to be quite happy with how much they are going to get to hear and see their hero. Not only will the album be released on Friday, but a theatrical event will happen on the same weekend to augment the release.
Taylor Swift set to make a trio of appearances on late-night talk shows
Plus, Taylor Swift will appear on many late-night talk shows. On one, she will have the entire hour to herself, as well as the host, of course.
Her first appearance on a late-night show will be on the fantastic Graham Norton Show. This will occur on October 3, and can be seen on BBC America or with an AMC+ subscription. While Londoners have to wait until 10:40 pm local time to see the program, people in the United States on Eastern time will get to see the episode at 5:40 pm.
On October 6, Swift will be on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The show can be seen on NBC beginning at 11:35 pm ET, and can be streamed on Peacock the next day. Surely, you will want to watch both times.
Late Night with Seth Meyers got the real coup, though. While Swift will not appear until October 8, nearly a week after The Life of a Showgirl drops, the icon will be on for the whole hour. That hour begins at 12:35 am ET on NBC, but can be streamed on Peacock later on the same day.
For the Fallon and Meyers appearances, we can assume Taylor Swift will perform at least one song. She is there to sell her new album, of course. Maybe Kelce will make an appearance, too.
