Jimmy Fallon teases possible Taylor Swift appearance on the tonight show

Jimmy Fallon may have dropped a major hint that Taylor Swift will appear on The Tonight Show shortly after the release of her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl.

In a post shared Thursday morning, Fallon posted a video of himself playing roulette. He placed bets on the numbers 10, 6, and 25, before the ball landed on 13. Fans quickly connected the numbers as a possible reference to a date—October 6, 2025—just three days after Swift’s twelfth studio album is scheduled to drop on October 3. The number 13 is famously significant to Swift, often used as her lucky number throughout her career.

Fallon added more fuel to the speculation with the phrase, “Baby, that’s show business for you,” which some fans linked to one of Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl vinyl variants. The caption of the post, “Not a lot going on at the moment,” also stood out, as it directly references a phrase Swift wore on a T-shirt in her “22” music video and during parts of her Eras Tour.

If confirmed, this would be Swift’s second major late-night television appearance tied to the album rollout. She has already been announced as a guest on The Graham Norton Show airing October 3, where she will appear alongside Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Domhnall Gleeson.

With fans eagerly awaiting The Life of a Showgirl, the possibility of a Fallon appearance adds even more anticipation to Swift’s already high-profile release week.
