Attention all Swifties and late-night TV enthusiasts! Taylor Swift is gracing 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' tonight, and you won’t want to miss this! But here’s the kicker: you can catch her appearance for free—if you know how. Let’s dive into the details and make sure you’re front and center for this highly anticipated event.
Taylor Swift is set to appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight, December 10, at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS. This marks her fourth late-night appearance in just two months, following her recent stops at The Graham Norton Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Late Night with Seth Meyers during the release of her album The Life of a Showgirl. But this time, it’s extra special—Swift is promoting her upcoming documentary series, End of an Era, which premieres on Disney+ this Friday, December 12, at 3 a.m. ET.
And this is the part most people miss: You don’t need a cable subscription to watch Taylor Swift on The Late Show for free. If you’re a cord-cutter, live TV streaming services like DIRECTV offer a five-day free trial, starting at $49.99/month after that. DIRECTV includes CBS, so you’re all set. Alternatively, Paramount+ Premium offers a seven-day free trial (then $12.99/month), which also lets you stream The Late Show live.
But here’s where it gets controversial: With so many streaming options available, is it worth signing up for yet another service just to catch one episode? Or is this a sign that the streaming landscape is becoming too fragmented? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below—we’d love to hear your take on the future of TV viewing.
Swift’s relationship with The Late Show is no secret. Earlier this week, the show teased her appearance with a hilarious video compilation of Colbert dancing to her song Opalite. It’s a fun reminder of how Swift has become a staple on late-night TV, especially when promoting new projects. Her last appearance on Colbert’s show was in 2021, ahead of the release of Fearless (Taylor’s Version).
For those who can’t stay up late, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. But for die-hard fans, this is a midnight rendezvous you won’t want to sleep on. Set your alarms, grab your snacks, and get ready to see Taylor Swift like never before. What’s your favorite Taylor Swift late-night moment? Share it with us in the comments!
