"Ratings will explode!": Fans react as Jimmy Fallon seemingly teases Taylor Swift's appearance on his show

Ahead of the release of Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album, late-night host Jimmy Fallon shared an Instagram video that appeared to hint at her upcoming appearance on his show. In the video shared by Fallon on Thursday, several cues were present, hinting that Swift would be the guest on the October 6 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

In the video, Jimmy Fallon was playing roulette and put his chips on numbers 10, 6, and 25, which many decoded as October 6, 2025. The ball stopped on number 13, which many say is a lucky number for Swift. Later, several showgirls walked past Fallon, hinting at Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The post's caption read, “Not a lot going on at the moment,” a phrase Taylor Swift had used on her T-shirt in the song 22 and in social media posts. The clearest hint was that the multi-Grammy-winning singer was tagged in the Instagram post.

Although Fallon didn’t explicitly confirm the singer’s appearance, Swifties were swift enough to decipher the hints. Pop Base reshared Fallon’s post on X, prompting many fans to express excitement over Swift’s upcoming appearance.

One fan speculated about the episode’s success, writing,

"If she shows up, ratings will explode! Jimmy knows exactly what he's doing with this tease."
