With Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour – The End of an Era and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour – The Final Show set to hit Disney+ screens this Friday, Taylor Swift stopped by CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for a lengthy late-night chat with host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night. From why coming up with her top songs is an evolving process and why she doesn't want a recording studio in her home, to her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce, gaining control of her musical destiny, and reflecting on "The Eras Tour" (and more), Swift and Colbert covered a wide range of topics. But our favorite part was the advice Swift had for Colbert, as Swift had just ended an epic multi-year tour and Colbert is set to say goodbye to late-night in 2026.

While she didn't have advice for Colbert's specific situation, Swift shared, "I can sort of see from afar that we're both very passionate, hyperactive people—let's not say workaholics—so when I take time off, I can't slow down that need to get up and do a lot of things today. But I can change what those things are. I can figure out how to chill out, but I'm never going to be a chill person," she continued. "I'm a 'bread girl' now, or I'm like, 'This isn't going to cross-stitch itself!' Hobbies are kind of incredible."

Regarding stepping away from late-night after a two-decade run, Swift sees how Colbert can channel those energies elsewhere. "You give everything to this, you love to do a million things to prepare for this, and you give everything to the people that watch," she explained. "You can give that to your friends and family, your community" (with Colbert joking, "But my friends and family don't chant my name."). In terms of his professional future, Swift is on the same page as most of his fans: podcasting and social media are definitely in Colbert's future.
