During the July 22 episode, when Fallon mentioned Swift, 36, and told Twain that the megastar always names you one of her inspirations, she replied, “She’s just beautiful.”

The legendary singer went on to say, “She’s a fabulous performer. If you wrote a song for her, it would be a hit no matter what. She does write her own song; she sits at her own home, plays the piano, plays the guitar. So, I admire her musicianship and her commitment to telling her stories.”

Twain and Swift have always praised each other. In a TikTok video, the ‘Cruel Summer’ hitmaker had even credited her for her success.

Then in 2024, Twain told Haute Living that Swift “is living an exhausting existence, but she's dedicated and committed to herself, to her art, and her work. It isn’t even about ambition, though I’m sure that most people would call her ambitious.”

“She’s an extremely hard worker, and I’m sure she’s got giant goals. But it’s not all about ambition: it’s about passion and committing yourself to your passion. [Like Taylor], I was and am someone who does that, and that’s what really reaps rewards,” the 60-year-old icon added.
