Taylor Swift’s Extended ‘Tonight Show’ Interview to Air as Special Episode on NBC

NBC will air a special episode of “The Tonight Show” on Friday featuring an extended cut of Jimmy Fallon‘s recent interview with Taylor Swift.

Swift appeared on “The Tonight Show” on Monday in promotion of her 12th studio album “The Life of a Showgirl.” As reported by Variety, Monday’s broadcast excluded portions of the interview that were later posted online. On Friday, NBC will air those moments in place of Fallon’s interviews with the other guests who appeared on Monday’s episode.

Among the segments to be featured is Swift’s explanation of why she isn’t playing the Super Bowl halftime show in 2026. (Roc Nation recently announced Bad Bunny as the headliner.)

“Jay-Z has always been very good to me — our [business] teams are really close,” she said to Fallon about the Roc Nation founder. “They sometimes will call and say, ‘How does she feel about — And that’s not, like, an official offer or a conference-room conversation, more: ‘How does she feel about it in general?’”

“And we’re always able to tell him the truth, which is that I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field,” she explained, referring to her fiancé Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. “Like, [professional football] is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous. I am, [for] the whole season, locked in on what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if he’s out there every single week, putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport, and I’m like, ‘I wonder what my choreo should be? I think we should do two verses of “Shake It Up,” into “Blank Space,” into “Cruel Summer,” that would be great!’”

“The Tonight Show” is executive produced by Lorne Michaels, with producers including Gerard Bradford and showrunner Chris Miller.
