The star was seen walking into NBC Studios in Manhattan yesterday evening.
The Celtic-daft singer-songwriter was dressed in a replica Hoops top, black Nike shorts, and Adidas trainers.
The hitmaker looked relaxed as he made his way into the building lobby.
Later, he chatted with the host Jimmy Fallon and performed his new single, Survive, onstage.
During his appearance on the popular network show, Lewis joked that country music legend Dolly Parton couldn't understand a word he was saying when they recently crossed paths in Nashville, Tennessee.
But he revealed that the awkward moment was still "better than meeting the Queen".
Lewis told the host: "I did a little show In Nashville last week and I got to meet Dolly.
'It was great, she was lovely. She really struggled to understand what I was saying as most people in America do.
'But she was very polite and it was a bit of a dream come true.
'That's like meeting the Queen or something. Better than meeting the Queen actually, yeah I said it.'
Lewis Capaldi breaks silence on emotional Glastonbury return after taking a break from music
It comes after the singer, from Whitburn, West Lothian, described his emotional return to Glastonbury as the best day of his life.
Lewis performed a surprise set on the Pyramid stage last month, two years after being unable to finish his set on the same stage when he struggled to manage the symptoms of his Tourette syndrome.
Following the 2023 performance, he called off his world tour to address his mental and physical health - a move he described as 'the most difficult decision of my life'.
He said: 'It was terrifying. In the lead-up to it I was like 'This is horrific, I made a terrible decision'.

'And then I went out and we did it and it was really beautiful and lovely and it went exactly how I hoped.
'It was probably the best day of my life.
'I assume when I have a child I might be like 'Well maybe Glastonbury was still better'.'
Describing his previous experience at Glastonbury in 2023, Lewis said: 'The first time did not go well. I had a mental breakdown on stage.
'I have Tourette's so I used to tic quite a lot. I still do tic but I used to do this thing with my shoulder and it became really uncontrollable and I had a panic attack on stage at Glastonbury and I couldn't finish the song.
'It had happened a couple of times before at shows but because this one was so publicised and there were so many eyes on it it really made me think 'Oh God I really need to go and get myself sorted, I can't really keep doing this to myself'.'
The Glasto comeback set also featured a subtle nod to Lewis' beloved footie side as eagle-eyed fans spotted Celtic-themed guitar plectrums on stage.
And he's regularly seen proudly donning Celtic shirts, including on one occasion last year where he ventured out for a walk in London in the Celts' black away kit.
Lewis' new hit Survive has rocketed to number one in the UK singles chart.
But he joked to the US audience that the tune was "underperforming" across the pond and urged them to buy it.
Lewis recently announced a partnership with BetterHelp which will see him give fans 734,000 hours of free therapy - 1,000 for each of the days he couldn't perform due to poor mental health.
He said therapy was 'a massive part of the reason that I'm able to be a musician again'.
Lewis will go on a huge UK tour in the autumn, with dates at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and Aberdeen's P&J Live.

Lewis Capaldi tickets and how to get yours for Cardiff concert
Earlier this month, Scottish sensation Lewis Capaldi made a surprise comeback on a Glastonbury stage, marking his first public appearance since taking a hiatus from the spotlight. Now, he's back with a renewed vigour; announcing a new single, album, and a series of tour dates scheduled for September this year in the process. This autumn, the Someone You Loved singer will be hitting some massive venues. This list includes London's O2 Arena, Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena and Cardiff's Utilita Arena. However, tickets for the arena tour were snapped up in record time, selling out swiftly as fans rushed to secure their spots. Despite an impressive offering of over 300,000 tickets across 17 dates, supply couldn't meet the overwhelming demand. Fortunately, tickets have now surfaced on various online retail platforms, including viagogo and Seat Unique, among others. Here's the breakdown of what fans need to know now. Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused. How to buy Lewis Capaldi tickets now Tickets for Lewis Capaldi's concerts are currently up for grabs from various online outlets, including both official and resale platforms. The latter of which are fans' best bet to secure tickets at the drop of a hat. What's more, at present, resale platforms such as StubHub are offering tickets at approximately £150 each. Here are the links: For those keen on buying from official retailers, there are still options available there as well. While Ticketmaster may yet release more tickets (or put resale tickets on sale), none are available as of right now. With that said, it is worth keeping an eye on the ticketing giant's website for new additions to the website. Meanwhile, Seat Unique is stepping into the breach. This official retailer specialises in VIP and hospitality tickets, some of which come with complimentary food and drink, premium views, box seats, and much more. And, at the time of writing, they have plenty of tickets available right now, including some which come with early access to the venue, pre-gig entertainment, and access to VIP lounge areas. Here are the links for both: TICKETMASTER - Lewis Capaldi tickets.

Four in 10 Brits admit their partner is ‘not their type on paper', research reveals
The study found that Brits disagree about everything from sleeping patterns to money LOVED UP Four in 10 Brits admit their partner is 'not their type on paper', research reveals Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOUR in 10 Brits have admitted that their partner is 'not their type on paper', according to new research. A poll of 2000 people found that 57 per cent of Brits think 'opposites attract', with a new quiz being launched to help couples find out if they are in sync. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The things that divide couples across the country have been revealed Credit: Getty 3 Couples often find that one is better with money than the other Credit: Getty One of the most common disputes between couples was found to be around temperature, one person always being cold and the other running hot. The other was with money, with one partner being a saver while the other prefers to spend. Couples also feel they are opposites in terms of sweet and savoury preferences, big night out versus a quiet night in and being an early bird or a night owl. It also emerged 92 per cent feel their current beau has at least one key personality trait that's totally the opposite to their own, with seven per cent admitting they have 10 or more differences. A spokesperson for Tim Tam, which commissioned the study to launch its new Sweet & Salty biscuit, said: "It's official, opposites do attract – whether that's in relationships or with food. 'But it is surprising to see just how many couples feel they're not totally in sync with the person they're with. 'This can come in many different forms, from what football teams you support to what you like to eat for dinner on a Sunday night. 'Compromise is often the name of the game, whether that's in what activities you do or what you eat – so our Sweet & Salty biscuit is hopefully going to help save some arguments.' Other opposing traits couples have included one being a Christmas lover, while the other is a 'Grinch' (12 per cent). While 24 per cent felt one half of the duo is an early bird up with the sunrise, while the other takes a lot longer to get out of bed. First look at Love Is Blind UK series two with Matt and Emma Willis as Netflix reveals launch date But 28 per cent said they and their partner are 'alike in all the right ways', while 66 per cent of those with varying views said it 'keeps things interesting'. It also emerged 64 per cent of those who have been with someone opposite to them were surprised they'd ended up with such a partner. With the areas in which partners most diverge revealed to be social life (35 per cent), tidiness (32 per cent) and communication styles (32 per cent.) And only a fifth (21 per cent) felt they and their partner are in complete alignment from a political perspective. While 28 per cent most often differ in preferences when it comes to food, according to the figures. As a result of this, 16 per cent often have disagreements over what takeaway to get or what to have for dinner. With 30 per cent tucking into different meals in one sitting because they can't agree on what to eat, and 26 per cent even ordering from different takeaway restaurants. The spokesperson for Tim Tam, which is launching its limited-edition Sweet & Salty biscuit exclusively in Tesco, added: 'Being with someone who sees the world differently, has different strengths, or approaches life in another way can bring fresh perspectives into a relationship. 'It encourages both partners to grow, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another. "When two people are different, they often complement each other in unexpected ways. 'These contrasts can help strike a balance and create a dynamic that works uniquely for them." TOP 25 WAYS PARTNERS DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER The top 25 ways that partners differ from each other has been revealed The list revealed that partners disagree about many things, with some being more emotional and others being more tightly wound. The list included: 1. One's always cold, the other's always hot 2. One likes to save money and the other likes to spend it 3. One plans everything weeks in advance, the other makes it up as they go 4. One's an early bird, the other's a night owl 5. One loves talking about feelings, the other keeps things bottled up 6. One loves a lie-in, the other's up with the sunrise 7. One's a chatterbox, the other's all about quiet 8. One's tidy to the point of obsession, the other leaves a trail behind them 9. One loves big social gatherings, the other prefers one-on-one chats 10. One loves spicy food, the other can't handle a hint of heat 11. One has a sweet tooth, the other prefers savoury 12. One's glued to their phone, the other barely checks it 13. One likes to have a starter while the other prefers dessert 14. One can't start the day without coffee, the other doesn't touch caffeine 15. One's a thrill-seeker, the other won't even go on a rollercoaster 16. One's all about spreadsheets, the other just wings it 17. One likes scatter cushions on the bed, the other thinks it's a waste of time 18. One's glued to reality TV, the other only watches documentaries 19. One's obsessed with fitness, the other's 'allergic' to the gym 20. One loves Christmas, the other's a total Grinch 21. One can't stop redecorating, the other hates change 22.

No further action to be taken over Kneecap's Glastonbury set
The Irish language rap trio from Belfast featured as part of the Somerset music festival this year. A criminal investigation was launched by Avon and Somerset Police shortly afterwards. It said it had appointed a senior detective to investigate whether comments made on stage amounted to a criminal offence after reviewing footage. Today we informed Kneecap no further action will be taken after an investigation into comments made at Glastonbury Festival. Enquiries continue to be carried out into separate comments made on stage during Bob Vylan's performance. Full statement 🔽 However, they said that no further action would be taken as there was "insufficient evidence" for a conviction. Avon and Somerset Police said in a statement: 'An investigation has been carried out into comments about a forthcoming court case made during Kneecap's performance at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday 28 June. 'Detectives sought advice from the Crown Prosecution Service during their enquiries and after that advice, we have made the decision to take no further action on the grounds there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any offence.' Kneecap are known for making pro-Palestinian and political comments during their live performances. 🚨 We are on GENERAL SALE 🚨 We expect many shows to sell out today so be quick! 💥 🎟️ Band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terrorism offence earlier this year. This was for allegedly displaying the flag of the proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig. He has denied the charge. On Friday (July 18), the group posted a screenshot to social media from an email that appeared to be from a senior investigating officer. In their caption, they wrote: "One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over.

A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival.' Avon and Somerset Police also shared in their statement that enquiries are continuing regarding punk-rap duo Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury. They led the crowd in chants of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]" as part of their set.
