Taylor Swift is not a "chill person"

Appearing on the Late Show, host Stephen Colbert asked Taylor how to cope with the transition of a long-running project ending, with just months to go before the final episode of his talk show.

She replied: "For this specific situation, no.... But 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. "I'm a 'bread girl' now, or I'm like, 'This isn't going to cross-stitch itself!' Hobbies are kind of incredible."

She urged Stephen to turn his attention to helping those around him once the show ends in May.

She said: "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. "You can give that to your friends and family, your community... "

The host quipped: "But my friends and family don't chant my name."

Taylor later said:. "You're going to be, like, podcast guy, you're going to be an influencer. You're going to make TikToks."

Stephen also asked the Blank Space singer to name her top five from her own back catalogue, but she struggled with the task.

She said: "This is so much pressure. You're already writing five."

Taylor then asked for a "little time to get back to" the host with a list.

She added: "Because I don't have enough, see. I think I require a little bit of time to like, appreciate my work in a way... and it's constantly changing, right. It's a little too soon."

He quipped: "You've got all the time you need between now and May."

However, the 35-year-old star singled out the 10-minute version of All Too Well as her favourite, and Mirrorball from 2020's Folklore but admitted she "can't really do any of the others".

She added: "We could do an update at some point."

Elsewhere on the show, the Opalite singer praised fiance Travis Kelce as the "love of [her] life".

Discussing things that had happened to her recently, she said: "Getting engaged to the love of my life, getting all my music back. Those were two things that just might never have happened. They could have just never happened. It wasn't like, 'Oh, it's just a matter of time.'

"Both of those things could have just never arrived in my life, and I'm so grateful for both of those things happening."
