Taylor Swift to Return to ‘The Graham Norton Show’ to Discuss ‘The Life of a Showgirl’
Taylor Swift is living that life of a Graham Norton Show girl. On Wednesday (Sept. 17), the BBC announced that the pop superstar is making her return to the iconic red couch for her latest interview with the quirky British presenter, with Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee and more stars set to join her.
The episode Swift will appear on is set to broadcast live in London at 10:40 p.m. local time on Oct. 3, the same day her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, is arriving. In addition to the Oppenheimer star and Past Lives actress, Jodie Turner-Smith and Domhnall Gleeson will take part in host Graham Norton’s signature group interview.
Plus, Lewis Capaldi will perform on the program, which will mark the second episode of season 33 of The Graham Norton Show.
Swift is a seasoned veteran of the talk show at this point, having guested multiple times over the years. In 2013, she made her debut on Graham Norton following the release of her Red album, and in 2014, her terse exchange with John Cleese over his musings on cats and women went viral. She also appeared in 2019 and performed “Me!” on the show, and sat down again for a chat with Norton and Eddie Redmayne in 2022.
Her upcoming stop by the Graham Norton Show marks the latest step in Swift’s promo for The Life of a Showgirl, which she announced in August via an appearance on then-boyfriend, now-fiancé Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast. The 14-time Grammy winner made all 12 songs on the LP with past collaborators Max Martin and Shellback.
“I was so mentally stimulated and excited to be creating,” she said on New Heights. “[The album is] a lot more upbeat, and it’s a lot more fun pop excitement. My main goals were melodies that were so infectious, you’re almost angry at it … We’ve made songs that I’m so proud of.”
With a couple weeks left to go before Swift talks more about Showgirl on Graham Norton, get ready for the interview by looking back on all the times she’s previously appeared on the show below.

The Archies’ “Sugar Sugar” ruled on the U.K. Singles Chart for eight weeks back in 1969, while “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Disney’s 2022’s Encanto achieved seven weeks.
The song is also closing in on Alex Warren’s “Ordinary”, which has spent a whopping 13 weeks at No. 1 throughout 2025.
Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” is a non-mover and ends the week at No. 2. It has already notched three weeks at the summit to give her longest-running No. 1 single since 2022’s “Anti-Hero”. The LP’s other breakout song, “Opalite”, stays strong at No. 4.
Joining them in the top five is RAYE‘s “Where Is My Husband!” which holds its position at No. 3. Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” lifts one place to No. 5, and is at the same spot on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, a career best.
As Lily Allen’s West End Girl moves up to No. 2 on the U.K. Albums Chart, the LP’s breakout song “Pussy Palace” heads into the top 10, finishing at No. 8. Two more tracks from the record, “West End Girl” (No. 15) and “Madeline” (No. 16), also achieve new peaks.

“It was like, ‘Cool, this mix is due in 45 minutes,'” Aarons recalled of finishing “Dracula.” “When you know you have a deadline, your brain just goes, ‘This is the right thing.’ [Kevin Parker] called me and he went, ‘What about this melody?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah! How did we not do that melody already? It totally fits the song.’ We’d written lyrics so many times, we already had so many lyrics floating around our brains. We had so much of what we knew the song was that it kind of clicked.”
