Welcome to the Letterman KZbin Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

The world desperately needs a role model like Taylor. As a senior, I see a moral decline in our society perpetuated by young "adults". Taylor is a breath of fresh air and a classy lady. I'm so glad that she is so willing to give so much of herself for the general welfare of all of us. Taylor is a poster child for human kindness. Bravo, Taylor!!!

[@Satyric7]

Your generation brought us the likes of Donald Trump, so please spare us your blather about "moral decline". Thanks.

[@GGE47]

​@@Satyric7 Your generation brought us the likes of you, snotty, conceited, uneducated, maybe miseducated is the word, and without common sense. I see the moral decline in today's generation. I saw it gradually decline over the years, but you will take us over the finish line if things don't change back to where they were and even further to when government wasn't involved in every facet of life in this country. I am not a fan of Taylor Swift either. At least Donald Trump will not take us down the road to socialism and merge this country you hate so much into a world government. Today's leaders will take us down the road to a horrible, hellish nightmare. You may get a world government but without the United States of America. America first.

[@lindaheflin3191]

I am a senior and I don't see TS generation as being the problem. We are the problem and Ms.Swift and most of her people and younger are the greatest hope this world has. I am glad you recognize her but I think you are missing something about young people. Don't blame them for mess we made.

​@@copbabycombo1311 An industry plant? Dude, she is the SUN of the industry and you may call the rest sunflowers. Seems you didn't get the memo: Taylor Swift *is* the Music Industry. If this tour is not proof of that, I don't know what it is. Industry plants shine for less than ten years, release about five albums (not written by themselves, of course) with about ten songs each, and then burn out. I don't think you even glanced at her almost 20 years discography. At least browse Wikipedia. Educate yourself a bit before you call someone a slang, please.

I just love her reactions to how much of a huge deal out of her and her sincere thanks to compliments. she always seems so surprised when given compliments and genuinely seems to appreciate them. Even when she's given the perfect opportunity to brag she never does and always gives other ppl credit. i love her sense of humor she's never fake! a true gem!❤

[@badmoonrising_007]

That’s totally BS she’s not humble, she’s fake and always about Taylor and if she’s acting like she’s appreciative for compliments it’s an ACT.

This is not the only time Miss Taylor has had fans over. She also has gone to fans home on visits, as one fan was in his 70s or 80s. The vid was taken her arriving, talking to the family, and singing songs. She was for a couple or so hours. There are bunches of phone vids of her visiting fans at their homes, at parties, and hospitals. They are not to easy to find but that is what I do.

Tribeca is fun. It's like the jungle in New York City but cool. It's a cool jungle, not far from SoHo, and the Village, (West)with enough creative freaks to make it interesting but safe. It's got the best cafes and outdoor restaurants. I just moved from New York (Riverdale), and I miss it so much. The biggest mistake I ever made. Tayor is not the biggest loser that ever lived. She is the one "Winner", and we are all losers. I would be so proud of Taylor if she was my daughter, not so much her success but the person she became.

[@davidbee8178]

Taylor is a FORCE of NATURE and a genuinely sweet but ultra SMART lady who prioritizes her fans with her LOYALTY to them who in turn are so loyal and adoring of her.

[@Genious.]

It's maybe just the extreme overexposure as well as the over-the-top adoration from uber-fans. For me, I saw a video where someone, or some group, decided that she would be the Ambassador of New York or something like that - in it, she gave explanations of what things mean - starting with describing 'stoops' (Brooklyn) and it came off as inane to have New York explained by someone who somewhat claimed to have been from Nashville but was really from Pennsylvania. It was one of the most insufferable things I had seen until Will Smith's kids began posting on social media.
