Stephen Colbert has interviewed countless celebrities over his decades-long career, but there's one artist who holds a special place in his heart. In a recently posted TikTok, The Late Show host revealed exactly how far he'd go forTaylor Swift, and his reasoning is surprisingly touching.

"I would jump off a cliff into a pit of spikes for that woman," Colbert declared while recounting a memory from years ago.

The dramatic statement wasn't about Swift's music or her record-breaking success. It was about a single moment of kindness toward his teenage daughter at an awards show.

Stephen Colbert's Daughter Met Taylor Swift Over a Decade Ago

Colbert explained that he and his then 14-year-old daughter Madeline attended an event where Swift was also a guest. His daughter, excited to see the rising star, pointed her out across the room. Colbert mentioned he'd recently received Swift's album and thought she might be appearing on his show, so he offered to introduce them.

When they approached, Swift turned her attention completely to Madeline, who was wearing a blue dress. The singer immediately began complimenting the teenager, telling her how amazing she looked and spending about 30 seconds making the young girl feel special.

That brief interaction left such an impression on Colbert that more than a decade later, he still describes himself as willing to follow Swift into battle.
