It may have been Taylor Swift\u2019s birthday this week, but it was her fans who were given a gift, when the artist\u2019s new documentary, The End of an Era<\/a>, premiered, streaming with a Disney+ subscription<\/a>. In promoting the series \u2014 and a new concert movie of the tour\u2019s final show \u2014 she visited Stephen Colbert\u2019s late-night show, and in one heartbreaking exchange, it seems that Swift forgot that this is the end of an era for him as well.<\/p>\n Stephen Colbert has been a Swiftie for years, so the two definitely had some fun when she visited The Late Show<\/a>, even as she acknowledged that there are some people who wish she would \u201cjust go away.\u201d<\/a> The late night host didn\u2019t say it, but he can probably relate more than the artist realized, which became clear when he asked her to name her Top 5 Taylor Swift songs. After listing a couple \u2014 \u201cAll Too Well (10 Minute Version)\u201d and \u201cMirrorball\u201d \u2014 she asked for more time to think about it, suggesting:<\/p>\n We could do an update at some point if I have some time to look back and be like \u2018No, this is the Top 5.\u2019<\/p>\n Unfortunately, it seems Taylor Swift wasn\u2019t thinking about the fact that The Late Show has been canceled<\/a> following its current season, but Stephen Colbert gently reminded her of what he\u2019s been going through (and CBS\u2019 other staffing shakeups<\/a>) by joking:<\/p>\n You\u2019ve got all the time you need between now and May.<\/p>\n I think I\u2019d probably have been horrified to be reminded in such a way that the end of the longtime late-night show is five short months away, but Taylor Swift took it in stride, laughing as she basically dismissed the idea that Stephen Colbert leaving late-night meant that he wouldn\u2019t land on his feet somewhere else. She said:<\/p>\n No, you\u2019re gonna be, like, podcast guy. You\u2019re gonna be podcasting, you\u2019re gonna be an influencer. You\u2019re gonna make TikToks.<\/p>\n It was a good save, honestly \u2014 better than when Taylor Swift\u2019s friend Emma Stone forgot there would be no \u201cnext time\u201d<\/a> when she was on The Late Show in October.<\/p>\n Stephen Colbert is, of course, gracious to his guests who accidentally wade into the uncomfortable territory of mentioning the impending end of his show, but he hasn\u2019t shied away from sharing how difficult the situation has been. He\u2019s compared the impending end to seeing a man walking toward him in the dusk and not knowing if he\u2019s holding \u201ca knife or an ice cream cone<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Even with the final episode on the horizon, The Late Show continues to (mostly) decimate the late-night competition<\/a>, and clearly he isn\u2019t having any trouble pulling A-list guests.<\/p>\n Disney+:\u00a0from $11.99 a month w\/ ad-supported plan<\/a>Disney+ is where you are able to watch the pro-shot of the Eras Tour, as well as\u00a0The End of an Era\u00a0and the final Eras Tour concert.
