What’s on Taylor Swift‘s current playlist?
The pop superstar, 35, appeared on the Monday, Oct. 6 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and revealed the latest song she listened to that wasn’t one of her own.
“Tate McRae has a great new song called ‘Tit for Tat.’ You gotta listen to it,” Swift told the host. “Like, full volume, over and over again on repeat.”

McRae’s “Tit for Tat” was released in late September and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 — so it’s clear Swift isn’t the only person obsessed with the song.
The “Greedy” singer, 22, reacted to Swift’s praise in an Instagram Stories post featuring the Tonight Show clip. “Oh my godddddddddd,” she wrote alongside several crying emojis. “Whaaaaaaaaaaat.”
In another recent interview with SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up, Swift named McRae as one of the artists she’s enjoyed listening to as of late.

“Sabrina Carpenter‘s one of my favorite artists. But you also look around and you’re like, Tate McRae is amazing. Sombr is amazing,” she said.
The Grammy winner continued, “Like, there are so many incredible artists right now that I just love listening to. So I guess I’m supporting them by like just streaming their music constantly in my house.”
Carpenter, 26, previously opened for Swift’s Eras Tour, and she’s featured on the title track of the “Wood” singer’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl.
Sombr, 20, reacted to Swift’s shoutout during his Monday, Oct. 6 show at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto. He told fans “the biggest artist recognized me,” according to a video from the performance, and he later wrote on Instagram, “i ♥️ my life. i ♥️ @taylorswift. thank you.”
Swift released The Life of a Showgirl at midnight on Friday, Oct. 3. “I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right,” wrote Swift on Instagram upon releasing the project, created alongside producers Max Martin and Shellback.
“A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends Max and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait,” she continued. “If you thought the big show was wild, perhaps you should come and take a look behind the curtain…”
