Taylor Swift Reveals Top 5 Favorite Songs on ‘Colbert’
Taylor Swift made an exciting appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on December 10, 2023. During her visit, Colbert challenged the superstar to name her top five favorite songs from her extensive catalog. This intriguing task is something that many iconic artists, including Dolly Parton and Elton John, have faced in the past.
Taylor Swift’s Top Song Challenge
Swift expressed her hesitations in completing the list. She jokingly mentioned the pressure of choosing just five songs, saying, “This is so much pressure.” The artist admitted, “I think I require a little bit of time to appreciate my work.” Her indecision highlighted how her feelings about her music evolve constantly.
Swift’s Initial Selections
Despite the challenge, Swift was able to name her favorite song. She chose “All Too Well” in its ten-minute version, featured in her re-recorded album, Red (Taylor’s Version), released in November 2021. Additionally, she highlighted “Mirrorball” from her 2020 album, Folklore. However, she requested more time to finalize her other selections, expressing interest in possibly updating the list later.
Colbert’s Farewell Gesture
Colbert responded to her hesitation with humor, saying, “You’ve got all the time you need between now and May.” This was a nod to his scheduled departure from CBS, which will take place after May 2024.
Backstage Fun with TikTok
During her return to The Late Show, Swift and Colbert also created a playful TikTok video together. The clip showcased Swift in a fuzzy winter jacket, engaging with the intro of her 2008 song “Hey Stephen.” The lighthearted moment captured both artists’ chemistry as Colbert lip-synced to the song.
Conclusion
The episode aired at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS and was available for streaming on Paramount+. Fans eagerly await Swift’s final list of favorite songs and look forward to more lighthearted moments with the beloved host before his departure from CBS.
