The singer appeared on ‘The Late Show’ on Tuesday, where she startled the late-night host with her fandom.
Taylor Swift made an appearance on The Late Show Tuesday night to set the record for who Stephen is in her song “Hey Stephen” by her Fearless album, which is part of the songbook being re-recorded by the singer.
Colbert expressed the opinion that the song was about him, and pressed Swift for confirmation. “I recorded that song in 2008, I think I was eighteen,” she said, rejecting the proposal. “Right, and I was a younger age too,” the late-night host said. Then Swift told him the exact age he was at that year: 44 years, 179 days old, give or take a few hours.
“Like I said, I’m a big fan,” the singer told Colbert. He then thanked her for sending a signed CD. “Oh, yes, you know I signed it to you, Stephen with a PH, I sent it to the Colbert Report, 513 West 54th St, New York, 10019, office on the second floor in the direction of the street.”
Colbert presses the singer again: “Are you sure ‘Hey Stephen’ is not about me? ‘Swift replies:’ It’s just the power of music Stephen, good songs make you feel like it’s about you. ‘ From returning to the “real headroom” to re-recording the song authentically, Swift brought out her old mood board, which consists of photos of Colbert.
Yet she continued to explain how the song was not written about him. “Hey Stephen is no more about you than my 1989 album is about the year you spent on the afternoon shift at the waiting shift. [an Italian restaurant] in the river-north area of Chicago that casually serves an incredible slice of pizza. “She points to a photo of pizza on her mood.
At this point, Stephen claims to know who the song is about. “If you really want to know who it’s about, and it seems to be the case. I’ve never made it known to anyone before, but ‘Hey Stephen’ is about Stephen King,” Swift said.
The singer further said: ‘He is amazing. The dark tower series changed my life, plus The shine, The stand, and let me not even begin with his short stories. Absolutely clear. ‘
While the two kept going back and forth, Swift explained what a real song about Stephen Colbert would look like. “It’s too obvious to call it Hey Stephen … Songwriting is about the details, so you go, ‘Hey Stephen, I love you on TV, and all the things you do in the daily program did and the time you were Law and order, you’re 5’11, your middle name is Tyrone, the social security number is 3 … “After Colbert cut her off while shouting out his numbers, he exclaimed,” No matter how much you say ‘Hey Stephen’ is not about me, I get the strong feeling that it is. ‘
“It seems to you like a thing to you. But the thing of feeling that you may have to address within yourself; I think it’s something you have to process and then get the feeling that you are feeling and just shaking. That’s right. But? that song, is about you. ‘
As Swift’s cell phone starts ringing, she answers the call. ‘Oh, this is Stephen King. I have to go. ‘
