Taylor did a pretty good job not breaking character even though that Stephen board was hilarious

[aditikrishna]

everything in this interview feels like an Easter egg

[danielsarn]

Never understood why Taylor hasn't got into acting whether comedy or drama, she has great sarcasm and decent comic timing. I think she is intelligent enough and clearly isn't stupid. I doubt it would ever effect her music career.

[ashleyanarna]

i thought she was gonna say "hey stephen is not about you any more than my album 1989 is about harry styles" LMAO

[amn]

"Noo... this is a pizza"

Rest in peace me, RIP me, I died dead

[limeylena]

Evie and the crew dying in the background takes it to a whole other level

[StargaezrToo]

As someone who’s also named Stephen WITH A PH, let me just say I’m extremely disappointed that swift led me on for all these years that way.

Swifties wanting to enter 1989 era without Taylor Swift right now: 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[lo]

“How many easter eggs do you want to put in this skit?”
Taylor: YES

[marshmallowdiptaco]

Best part of this video is Evie giggling uncontrollably

[hopesantillan]

“Hey Stephen is too obvious”
Dear John: 👁👄👁

[nicolofosho]

Why is nobody taking about her genius comedic timing and witty dry humor? She can really do it all

[spideymeow]

normal people: "cool Interview"
swifties: **finding easter eggs & theories**

[OISHIROSE]

It's underrated how funny Taylor is

[willpfister]

She becoming Paul McCartney. Critically acclaimed, popular, and funny. Legendary.

[danielhigh]

She's channeling Phoebe from Friends energy very strongly in this.

[hridaychhabria]

there are 5 slices of pepperoni on the pizza. Her 5th album? 1989. It's the next re-recording y'all.

[kyley]

She is obviously incredibly talented but she has a straight face acting through this lol. She would kill SNL.
She has done SNL and she was amazing!

[everlore]

Proof that this means 1989 is coming out:
She said “Shake it Off”
She mentioned the album 1989
On the mood board near the bottom right corner, you can see a flying bird, and she wore a shirt with flying birds on it on 1989 album cover

[isalafond]

Y'all don't get it. The whole sketch is an Easter egg. The way she's trying to prove Hey Steven is not about him is the SAME as her trying to prove that Style is not about Harry Style. 1989 IS COMING
