The rumors are terrible and cruel, but honey, are most of them true?
Taylor Swift finally put online chatter to sleep during Monday’s appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
After hyping her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” and gushing over her “favorite person” — fiancé Travis Kelce — Jimmy Fallon asked the singer to address a few elephants in the room.
The comedian went on to list five rumors he read online, which included Swift turning down the Super Bowl halftime show because the NFL wouldn’t allow her to own the footage, Ed Sheeran learning about her engagement on Instagram and joking about Selena Gomez beating her to the altar at the latter’s wedding.
He also brought up rumors that Swift was spotted walking a mystery dog in Florida and that Kelce could be heard harmonizing on her new track “Opalite.”
When it came time for the “Fate of Ophelia” singer to make the big reveal, she explained that only the Sheeran story was true.
“He doesn’t have a phone,” she declared.
As for the Gomez wedding discourse speculation, Swift revealed, “I did make a speech, but I actually made a point not to mention anything about my engagement.”
“I did do some light teasing about the way we used to dress in 2008 — the year we met. Because we met when we were teenagers and 2008 was quite a year, let me tell you. I talked a little about 2008, how happy I am for her and how beautiful it’s been getting to be a part of her life, but I did not make it about me.”
The talk show host then asked Swift whether she turned down the Super Bowl halftime show because the NFL wouldn’t let her own the footage.
“No!” the Grammy winner vehemently denied, explaining that she hasn’t performed at the big game because she’s too “locked in” to Kelce’s season to accept the gig.
“This is nothing to do with Travis; he would love for me to do it! I’m just too locked in,” she said.
Swift’s appearance on “The Tonight Show” marked her second TV sit-down since the release of “The Life of a Showgirl,” as she appeared on “The Graham Norton Show” the evening it dropped.
On the album, Swift — who got engaged to Kelce in August — sings about falling in love with the NFL star.
She announced her new era during her first-ever appearance on his “New Heights” podcast, which immediately preceded his proposal.
