*”Is that okay?”* Taylor Swift, Grammy winner songwriter, being so humble.

[@Sunset.lover13]

Jackie L and that’s why we love Taylor Swift she’s literally the most down to earth, humble, and sweetest person. I met her once; her bodyguards didn’t want her to say hi to her fans but she went anyways and took her time to say hi to everyone, signed autographs, and took pictures WITH EVERYONE! Oh and she bought everyone PIZZA! not to mention it was really cold outside and other celebs didn’t even say hi they just went to their cars.

[@Toddler1967]

​@Liz Muschinski I agree he didn't make fun of her, but I thought he was off his usual level. Almost looked like an average guy going stupid because he finds the woman he's trying to speak to so beautiful that his brain has stopped working. I'm sure that wasn't it, she is stunning, but he's had so many stars on the show he has to be immune to that effect. Still, it's how he appeared to me and he wasn't charming. Not his usual level, but I did love his highlighting Judi Dench going to Cat school.

[@icarrus4u]

She's a great ballerina! And a stunning woman! People should learn that Ballet dancers are just like any other athlete. They have to to train (take class) everyday to stay at top form.

[@gam3rgodproductions]

ye he's always been like that he's the worst Jimmy, Jimmy Fallon is best Jimmy.

[@cynicalcenobia]

The fact that she does not seem to know how to play into Jimmy's constant attempts to make the conversation more 'talk-showy' and entertaining - by virtually ridiculing every step of the creative process - really shows how raw and down-to-earth she is. I really like that, unlike most actresses - she does not feel the need to giggle through every question and adjust her normal behaviour; she just does her best to answer honestly and professionally, which is really refreshing. Kimmel comes through as very disrespectful, though - you have someone with an actual work-ethic who clearly takes their craft seriously, and he basically pokes fun of her discipline & preparation for this film - esp. at 4:00. A host should adapt their conversation style to the guest they are having (see Colbert), not the other way around - by basically making her engage in the same flippant and condescending way of talking about ballet & the film that Jimmy seems to project here. It's her first time on a US talkshow as well, she deserved better.

[@howlwhat4498]

Yeah those"jokes" he made were so cringe. 10 year old humor

[@elizabethjulia20]

Well put. I get that Kimmel was trying to be funny and he has very typical American humour which is funny with the right guest... But I feel like adapting to your guest's level of comfort and demeanour is really important, it's the one thing that makes a host standout.

[@Worldculture7371]

lady godiva You are absolutely right but I wonder did she make him nervous, because he was really being silly.

[@ef245]

He was certainly being silly but if someone can’t poke fun at themselves and enjoy some jokes than they don’t seem like a very fun person to be around. She is lovely but dull, maybe it was just the nerves though

[@gregdahlen4375]

gee i didn't see that, he was just having fun finding different ways to look at the process than the "serious" way. It's like there's a "serious," "right" way to look at a process, and then a humorist finds different angles and perspectives on that process and brings those out and in doing so shows us different ways to see it?

[@rebeccahjorleifson3819]

He’s just shitting on this project that she put everything on hold for and her absolute energy into. Whether or not it’s a good movie, her dancing was incredible and ballet is a sport, a demanding job that takes dedication and you never get the chance to stop. Everyday is a constant competition, where you put your body to the absolute limit and do it again and again. When she says “you can feel it when you take a few days off” this is a high end ballerina.. i can’t imagine the pressure she’s under. I can’t imagine putting so much effort, so much love into a performance. Giving it your all, going sleep deprived, working your body to the limit everyday because that’s what professional dancers do. She reached top tier of her career and took the chance to be a part of this because she loved the musical growing up. learning feline movements in dance makes sense... you’re acting as cats. The characters are cats. ITS CALLED CATS. It’s not funny that they learned (from someone who studied feline behaviour) how to move like cats. She’s tired and if I were in her place I’d probably stumble over my words, she is an amazing performer and that should be recognized and not belittled
