Taylor Swift Returns to The Graham Norton Show to Promote New Album

Global superstar Taylor Swift is set to return to The Graham Norton Show next month for a special appearance promoting her highly anticipated album “Showgirl’s Life,” which drops on October 3.

Swift will share the iconic red sofa with Cillian Murphy, actresses Greta Lee and Jodie Turner-Smith, and actor Domhnall Gleeson, while singer Lewis Capaldi will deliver the night’s musical performance.

This marks Swift’s first visit to the program since 2022, when she promoted her album Midnights and discussed her re-recordings of early albums amid her battle for ownership rights—an effort that recently concluded with her regaining control of her masters.

The appearance is expected to kick off a powerful new era for Swift, whose upcoming album was inspired by her record-breaking Eras Tour, where she revisited highlights of her career through dazzling performances for audiences worldwide.

In a recent episode of fiancé Travis Kelce’s podcast, Swift reflected on the demanding schedule that shaped the project: “I was doing three back-to-back shows, then taking three days off. I’d fly to Sweden, then come right back on tour. My body was exhausted, but my creative energy was at its peak.”

Swift’s discography has long been tied to themes of heartbreak and personal transformation, from Red—believed to chronicle her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal—to Fearless with songs linked to Joe Jonas, and most recently The Tortured Poets Department, which fans associate with Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy.

Her return to Norton’s stage is expected to generate global buzz, setting the tone for the next chapter of her musical journey.
