\n\tTaylor Swift visited her Late Night<\/em> pal Seth Meyers for a Wednesday night takeover, serving as the show\u2019s only guest. <\/p>\n \n\tNot counting Meyer\u2019s signature \u201cCloser Look\u201d segment, the entire episode was a \u201cTay\/kover\u201d as it was dubbed by the show. But even \u201cA Closer Look\u201d threw in some friendship bracelet and Life of a Showgirl<\/em> song name jokes while speaking about the current government shutdown. <\/p>\n \n\tSwift seemed right at home with Meyers despite the fact it\u2019s been five years since she\u2019d last been on the show. Meyers cheekily noted that it seemed like Swift has done about 15 years worth of work during those five years. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely been my favorite one,\u201d Swift said about Life of a Showgirl<\/em> rollout, calling it the \u201cmost joyful\u201d of her career. Swift said she\u2019s been tuning into what fans are posting on TikTok. She also said for the first time her entire family \u2013 her mom, her dad and her brother \u2013 are all on the press tour with her. Swift also gave a peak behind the curtain of the making of the music video for her single, \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia,\u201d which featured several dancers from her Eras<\/em> tour.<\/p>\n \n\tThe singer also spoke about her new favorite hobby: baking bread. Meyers proudly showed off his own Swift-baked loaf, the packaging littered with puns inspired by her lyrics. In what seemed to be a cheeky wink at some of the online discourse around her music, Swift said her puns won\u2019t \u201cbe appreciated until after it\u2019s time.\u201d The Grammy winner\u2019s bread got a hefty chunk of screen team with Meyers showing a clip from her recently released theatre event of the moment it was decided her bread could be in \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d music video. <\/p>\n \n\tOn Wednesday morning, with over a full day of tracking left, Swift officially took the record for biggest opening week so far for a record in the streaming era, according to Billboard<\/em> with data sourced from Luminate. She\u2019s sold a reported 3.2 million copies with 300,000 streaming units, taking her to a record-breaking 3.5 million combined. Adele\u2019s 25 currently holds the record for most individual sales with 3.3 million units (not including streaming). <\/p>\n \n\tOf course, Swift\u2019s recent engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was a hot topic, offering a look at what seems to be their playful relationship with one another with Swift lightheartedly poking fun at her now fianc\u00e9. In a clip released before the Wednesday night show, Swift recounted Kelce\u2019s run in with his \u201cfavorite director\u201d Greta Gerwig, where he mistook Hugh Grant\u2019s wife for the Barbie<\/em> director. <\/p>\n \n\tSwift\u2019s 12th album, produced and written by the singer herself along with hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback, was thought to be\u00a0a return to some of her most standard pop albums, like\u00a01989<\/em>, but it instead managed to be the love child of\u00a0Evermore<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Midnights<\/em>. The album sold 2.7 million copies on release day (Oct. 3), making that day alone her largest week ever, according to\u00a0Luminate via Billboard. <\/p>\n \n\tIn addition to the album, Swift released a cinematic companion over the weekend, which included a chance to see the\u00a0music\u00a0video for the album\u2019s lead single,\u00a0\u201cThe Fate of Ophelia,\u201d before its online release Sunday. Swift directed the video, which was filmed by frequent collaborator and Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, and features choreography from famed choreographer Mandy Moore, who worked on the singer\u2019s Eras tour.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Grammy Award-winner\u2019s release event \u2014 not fully classified as a film or a documentary \u2014 earned an estimated $33 million at the domestic box office and an additional $13 million worldwide, bringing its grand total of $46 million globally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Taylor Swift visited her Late Night pal Seth Meyers for a Wednesday night takeover, serving as the show\u2019s only guest.
