Fallon, in the following segment, 'The News: Taylor Swift Version', said, "Last week the Congress ousted Kevin Maccarthy and said 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'".
"So when it comes to the speaker of the house, we just have a 'Blank Space', which everyone knows 'All Too Well'".
"The whole thing started because there was major 'Bad Blood' in the Republican party....I mean it took 'Fifteen' votes to even elect McCarthy".
"Then Matt Gaetz wanted to play the 'Anti-Hero'; so McCarthy was like..dude! 'You Need To Calm Down'. Are you trying to ruin my 'Reputation'? and Gaetz was like...yeah! 'This Is Me Trying".

"Meanwhile Biden watched the whole thing like, 'You're On Your Own Kid', though 'Betty' is getting a kick out of it".
'So, 'Long Story Short', the Republican party is looking at Steve Scalise like, 'Hey Stephen', we know you are the 'Mastermind', but we'll be able to 'Tolerate it' because were now in the 'Endgame', even if it takes, '22' votes".
"You...'Ready For It?', That's when Maccarthy is like, hey! wait, what about 'ME'? and he was like pffff....'I Forgot That You Existed'".
Next Fallon picked up Swift's 'Cardigan' song, and punning on it, originally meaning to say 'card again'.
