Why is she boycotting jimmy kimmel 😭

The announcement comes at a relatively significant time for late-night television. Kimmel's recent official return to Jimmy Kimmel Live! drew record-breaking ratings and attention after weeks of controversy. POTUS Donald Trump is also involved in this. Against this backdrop, Swift's absence from Kimmel's upcoming guest lineup has led to online speculation.

Internet reactions to Taylor Swift's confirmed appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon

Fallon has confirmed that Taylor Swift will appear on The Tonight Show on Monday, October 6, 2025. This is three days after her album release on October 3, 2025. Pop Base took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to post that,

"Taylor Swift confirmed to return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, October 6th."

Fans were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the X post as they penned their reactions. Below are some of their remarks:

"Bets on whether she will announce something from The Tortured Poets Department vault tracks? That headpiece is giving major TTPD vibes.", declared an X user.

"weird way to announce Jimmy’s return to the Taylor Swift Tonight Show", joked another.

"That is huge! ✨ Taylor’s Tonight Show visits are always full of surprises, could be a performance, a game with Jimmy, or even a sneak peek at The Life of a Showgirl.", commented a third.

Others also chimed in:

"The return of Taylor Swift to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, October 6th, 2025, has been heavily teased by Jimmy Fallon with multiple "Easter egg" clues, though not officially confirmed by the show or Taylor Swift's team as of September 25th, 2025. Fallon posted a cryptic video showing him playing roulette with bets on numbers 10, 6, and 25, with the ball landing on 13—a nod to the date and Swift's lucky number. The video also included visual references to her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, and featured the phrase "Not a lot going on at the moment" in the caption, which is a phrase Swift herself has used to hint at new projects.", penned a netizen.

"This is definitely one to look forward to. Whenever Taylor joins Fallon, it’s the perfect mix of humor, spontaneity, and genuine moments, their chemistry always makes for great TV. Given how much she’s been in the spotlight recently, people are going to be watching closely for any hints about upcoming music, tour stories, or maybe even a surprise announcement. Fallon has a way of getting her to show that playful, relaxed side fans love, so it feels like the kind of appearance that will be packed with memorable moments. Swifties especially will not want to miss it live.", stated another.

"jimmy kimmel better and we do not care abt taylor sorry", opined a third.

It is worth noting that Taylor Swift tends to appear on late-night shows right after album releases. Her last appearance on The Tonight Show came in 2022 when she was rolling out Midnights.
