Taylor Swift's upcoming 'Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon' appearance includes a Chiefs Easter Egg
Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl, is set to drop next week, and the singer already has some exciting things lined up to celebrate. One of those includes an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
Fallon teased Swift's appearance on Thursday morning, posting a video that included numerous Easter eggs, including the No. 13, which clued fans in immediately to who it was. Plus, he captioned the post, "not a lot going on at the moment," which is also a saying heavily associated with the singer.
This will be Swift's first appearance on Fallon since 2022, when she went on to promote her album “Midnights."
But, Oct. 6, which just so happens to be the day of her appearance, is also the day the Chiefs play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a primetime matchup.
Fans have already begun to speculate which songs might be about Kelce, especially considering the two got engaged recently. And now, they can't wait to hear what the singer will say about her fiancé.
Be sure to tune in!
Will Travis Kelce Appear In Taylor Swift's Album Release Movie?
An album wasn't enough for Swift! She had to give her fans a little more.
So with that, she announced that her album release will also include an 89-minute movie titled “Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.” It will run the weekend of Swift's release, beginning on Oct. 3.
Fans will get to see "the exclusive world premiere of the music video for my new single ‘The Fate of Ophelia,’ along with never before seen behind-the-scenes footage of how we made it, cut by cut explanations of what inspired this music, and the brand new lyric videos from my new album
And with those behind-the-scenes clips, the question is whether Kelce will appear in any, especially with some saying that the song titles already give clues as to which will be about him.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Packers’ Matt LaFleur Sends Strong Message on DT Devonte Wyatt Before Cowboys Game

The Green Bay Packers defense has not missed a beat despite Devonte Wyatt taking over for Kenny Clark.
Micah Parsons may command the headlines for the Green Bay Packers defense, but Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur has seen how other defensive stalwarts can help out, as well.
LaFleur offered high praise for DeVonte Wyatt in his efforts during the young season while replacing defensive tackle Kenny Clark, who Green Bay traded for Parsons on Aug. 28.
Wyatt has five tackles, two sacks and two passes defended in Green Bay’s 2-1 start this season, posting a 71.5 grade per Pro-Football Focus — the 30th-best mark out of 120 qualifying interior defensive linemen this season.
Wyatt will try to keep that great play going against Clark and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Arlington, Texas.
Devonte Wyatt is ‘Playing At A High Level’
Wyatt, a first-round pick of the Packers from the 2022 NFL Draft, has started just eight games in his career — three of which have come this year.
Yet, the fact he has been so successful as Green Bay’s primary interion D-lineman isn’t surprising to LaFleur, who saw his leap start in 2024 and continue while Wyatt has played 68 percent of the team’s defensive snaps — he had previously never played more than 50 percent in any single season.
“I think he’s been trending that way, even going back to last year,” LaFleur said. “Certainly, he’s getting more opportunities now, and he’s taking advantage of those.”
Yet, when pressed to detail what has made Wyatt successful, LaFleur had a relatively simple answer.
“I think it’s just playing the game. The more you play it the more you learn,” LaFleur said before going deeper by saying “he’s playing fast, he’s playing at a high level. He’s going a great job fundamentally, just getting off the football, playing with his hands, defeating blocks.”
Perhaps it was Wyatt’s ascent that made Green Bay willing to part with Clark, a three-time Pro Bowler who also was a first-round pick of the Packers in 2016, in the deal for Parsons. Of course, Parsons has put his stamp on the Green Bay defense by posting 1.5 sacks since the trade.
But Wyatt’s success has been keeping the Packers’ exceptional run defense playing at a high level. Green Bay ranked seventh in the NFL in rushing-yards against (99.3) in 2024 yet ranks third in three games (64.3) while allowing the fewest points-against per game (14.7).
“Just really happy with his progress,” LaFleur said.
Matt LaFleur Expects Kenny Clark To Be ‘A Handful’
The Packers are perceived as the better team, since Dallas is just a come-from-behind OT win over the lowly
But LaFleur still expects his former DT to haunt the Packers offense Sunday night.
“He looks really good like he did when he was here,” LaFleur said. “He’s gonna be a handful.”
LaFleur coached him until the trade, and he spoke to what makes Clark special as a player and person.
“I think Kenny is a pro’s pro,” LaFleur said. “I’ve got so much respect for him, as much as anybody that I’ve been around in this game in terms of his approach, his team-first mentality, his willingness to help others and bring guys along. He wasn’t the most vocal guy, but when he talked everybody listened.”
