Stephen Colbert Confesses He’d ‘Jump of a Cliff Into Spikes’ for Taylor Swift

It seems like Taylor Swift welcomed another die-hard Swiftie to her fandom.

Among Swift's fans, Stephen Colbert offered the biggest confession yet as the comedian served the sweetest confession he has for the Princess of Pop. During the commercial break of the May 4 episode of "The Late Show," Colbert took his time to share a sweet moment with the audience as he spoke highly of the singer.

Per the comedian, he would adore the I Knew You Were Trouble. hitmaker for the rest of his life.

As to how he would show that Colbert said he would confidently jump off a clip for Swift no matter what.

"I'll love Taylor Swift 'til the day I die. I would put on armor and follow her into battle," he said, eventually adding, "I would jump off a cliff into a pit of spikes for that woman for how nice she was to my daughter. You've got to remember that!"

He then took his time to recall the behind-the-scenes experience he had at the 2008 Grammys with Jon Batiste. At that time, he reportedly scored the chance to introduce his daughter, Madeline, to the singer.

The All Too Well singer greeted Madeline with open arms and showered her with compliments for how she looks for.

From that moment, Colbert knew that he officially became a Swiftie for life.

Is Taylor Swift's "Hey Stephen" About Stephen Colbert?

One of the hilarious theories surrounding Swift's songs, including "Hey Stephen," might be about the comedian.

But the singer herself spoke about it with the host himself and confirmed that the song is not about him.

"I first recorded that song in 2008. I think I was like 18," she said. "'Hey Stephen' is not about you anymore than my album 1989 is about that year you spent waiting tables on the lunch shift at Scuzzi, an Italian restaurant in the River North area of Chicago. That, by the way, serves a really incredible slice of pizza."

Instead of Colbert, Swift said "Hey Stephen" was inspired by Stephen King.

However, the real inspiration is Love and Theft's Stephen Barker. She never publicly said that, but the capitalized letters LOVE AND THEFT in the printed lyrics for the song confirmed it was him.

Barker himself also disclosed that he knew it was about him, showering Swift with compliments as if it was the nicest thing a girl has ever done for him.
