Taylor Swift clears up 'Hey Stephen' rumors before Colbert appearance
Taylor Swift is heading to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on December 10, 2025, to talk about her new docuseries The End of an Era.
In a playful 2021 interview, Swift joked that "Hey Stephen" wasn't about Colbert, but rather about Stephen King, though this was clearly in jest.
That playful interview moment
Back in a 2021 interview, Swift joked around by showing a mood board full of Colbert's photos while insisting the song wasn't about him.
The bit even ended with a funny fake call from King himself backing her up—a lighthearted highlight fans still remember.
What's coming up for Swifties
Swift's Late Show visit comes just before her docuseries drops on December 12, diving into the making and impact of her Eras Tour.
Plus, Disney+ will release a concert film from her final Vancouver show on the same day—so there's plenty for fans to look forward to!
