US singer Taylor Swift has stunned fans in a black mini dress for a UK TV appearance filmed ahead of the hotly anticipated release of her 12th studio album.
Swift is one of six celebrity guests who appear this week on The Graham Norton Show, which was filmed on Thursday and airs on Friday night, hours after the release of The Life Of A Showgirl.
The 35-year-old music superstar and 14-time Grammy winner, who got engaged to American football player Travis Kelce earlier this year, will also be speaking to UK radio stations Heart and Capital on the day of the album’s release.
On Thursday evening, Swift wore a little black dress with a jewel-encrusted halter neck on the show, an ensemble that was completed by dangly earrings and bright red lipstick.
She was also wearing her engagement ring, which the PA news agency understands to be an Old Mine Brilliant Cut.
The last time the music artist appeared on the BBC One chat show was to promote her 10th studio album, Midnights.
In that episode, which featured U2 singer Bono, Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne and former England footballer Alex Scott, the singer revealed she had auditioned alongside actor Redmayne for the film adaption of Les Miserables.
Sitting alongside the singer this time were Peaky Blinders screen star Cillian Murphy, Tron: Ares actresses Greta Lee and Jodie Turner-Smith, Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson, and Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi.
Swift’s new record is expected to top charts around the world and the singer said she recorded it while in Europe on the Eras Tour, reuniting with producers Max Martin and Shellback.
The Life Of A Showgirl features 12 songs, with fellow US pop star Sabrina Carpenter joining the title song as the only collaboration.
It is Swift’s first album since she announced her engagement to Kelce in an Instagram post in August that was captioned: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The Graham Norton Show airs on Friday at 10.40pm on BBC One.
