Take a look.

Our next guest has had the number one album on the country charts for a record 10 weeks in a row.

Please welcome Taylor Swift.

That's what people say.

That's what people say.

For one too many years.

Your musical crush, somebody in the business.

Oh, Justin Timberlake.

Justin Timberlake is your favorite?

Yeah.

Justin!

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

That's the best surprise ever.

This is the best day ever.

Yeah.

That's great.

Finish the statement.

I am Taylor blank.

I think just like birth certificate wise, it's Swift.

But I am Ellen blank.

I am Ellen DeGeneres.

I am Ellen DeGeneres, and I am married to Portia de Rossi.

I am Taylor Swift.

I am dating blank.

Nobody.

That's true, though.

I am Taylor Swift, and my publicist told me to say blank.

My publicist told me not to answer any personal questions.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Kitty Corner is a show for people who love cats.

And we'll answer your questions.

About cats.

Yeah.

You can call us with your questions.

And we can call in cat calls.

Or look with the cat call, then.

Every single time I come on this show, it's really weird, really weird.

All because of Ellen.

I've been on this show eight times now.

And I still remember Ellen hiding in the bathroom with a hidden camera.

And she scared me so bad.

She scared me as I could have died.

You've got that dream, dream, dream, dream.

Look in your eye, and I got the best.

Taylor!

Taylor!

My hair is so bad.

Why are you doing that?

Up in the air.

Being on Ellen's show is one of the best.

Monotone like that.

Being on the Ellen show is one of the best experiences you can have.

Now laugh in a monotone way.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

That was an amazing montage.

I know.

And that's, that's, no, no one's in there.

OK.

We're not going to do it to you today.

And it's not amateur hour.

No, no.

I'm not going to, because I can't top how

I did it the first time.

You were the best scarer.

Well, I don't know, Sarah Paulson was pretty good, too.

But.

That was a near-death experience.

It kind of was.

You went down.

Yeah.

Were there injuries?

There were several ways I could have died.

Well, now you're being dramatic.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, that's extreme.

Yeah.

No, but.

It's, it, it, I really just was watching that backstage.

And I was just thinking like, thank you so much for going so above and beyond to make people happy.

And, yeah.

Well.

That's not a good example of me.

No, no.

But.

No, you could have hit your head on the toilet bowl.

It was funny afterward.

Did this laugh afterward that I have found myself,

I loved the sound so much that I found myself doing it sometimes when I laugh hard enough?

You went.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

You went.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Like, and you couldn't breathe.

Uh-huh.

That's how happy I was.

That's how happy you were to see me fall down like that.

Yes, yes.

And now you do it, too, you said.

It's, it's caught on.

Yeah.

It's a great sound.

If you, if you go back and watch it on YouTube, listen for her laugh.

I'm.

And then who will be the one that's embarrassed?

The one on the ground.

Keep in mind that we, you haven't been here in four, no.

How long has it been?

Yeah, four years.

I was recovering from the fall.

No, no, no.

But look at all the content we had, and you haven't been here in four years.

You'd think you'd want to come back because you had so much fun.

I know, and now I have.

OK.

And now you've come back.

Yeah, I have come back.

Yes.

I mean, I had an album out called Reputation.

I know.

And I really.

Oh.

Oh.

You guys are friendly.

Yeah, with the album, I just basically wanted to just make music and not explain it.

Yeah.

But I missed you so much.

It worked out.

It was really.

You still sold a bunch of albums without even talking.

I mean, usually people go to promote their music because it helps sell albums.

You don't have to do that.

Well, that's nice of you to say.

It's true.

I mean, I am having fun being back here.

It's been really great to be back here.

And I definitely do, I think as a songwriter,

I enjoy communicating about what I've made.

I really do like that part of the process.

But I also just feel like with my career,

I want to do what feels right at the time.

Yeah.

You know?

So at that time, I coined this phrase, there will be no explanation.

There will just be reputation.

Because I am dramatic.

Yes.

That's a very dramatic thing.

But it rhymed.

It was kind of catchy.

Yeah.

And so I stuck with it.

Right.

Is that in one of your songs?

Because if it isn't, it should be.

Thank you.

No.

And I think it's a little late for that because now we're on to another different album.

I know.

But you still could have that.

For an album that's not reputation?

Yeah.

It's a little off brand.

No, no.

But I will think about it.

No.

Just like clothing comes back in style, you can come right back around to that topic again if you'd like.

It could be like a vintage.

You can do anything you want, Taylor Swift.

Thank you for saying that.

Thank you.

You know, people thought, oh, god, she's been away for so long.

How is this album going to do?

And they put so much, I don't think, pressure on you.

Because I don't think you felt.

Yeah, there's pressure.

Really?

Yeah, for sure.

Oh, OK.

But because it seemed like people were expecting this not to be as good, or that album not to be as, and you just came back and proved them all wrong.

You know, it's true.

Because you didn't worry about how certain people do things.

You do things your own way, and it all works out for you.

Thank you so much.

Well, you're welcome.

Now, let's talk about me.

No, not talk about me.

But so these, here, let's talk about, you're on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, and you have all these Easter eggs on here, right?

Yeah, yeah.

And I feel like.

Explain what the eggs are to people who don't understand.

Yeah, because I think that is necessary.

So it's like, when we say Easter eggs, we're not only talking about Easter eggs that you would go on an Easter egg hunt for on Easter.

It's kind of like a clue, like a foreshadowing kind of thing.

I like to plant Easter eggs in a video that will be a lyric from unreleased music, or a little hint, or a little link to what's coming in the future.

So yeah, that was kind of the theme of what we did the Entertainment Weekly thing on.

And it's just been really fun to kind of expand the musical experience past just listening to a song.

I also want people to be watching the music video, and what's that thing in the background, and what's that song playing underneath there, and is there a reason she said that in French?

Right, because people, and usually your fans are pretty good at figuring it out, right?

They're excellent at figuring it out.

How far off have they been?

What's the worst they've been?

Oh, man.

Well, there were some fans that thought

I had something to do with Avengers Endgame.

Oh, really?

Which I would have loved to have been asked, but I wasn't.

No, you weren't.

Asked to be in it at all.

Yeah.

Because we had the single coming out the same day, and I have a song that was called Endgame.

And so they were like, oh my god, she's going to defeat Thanos.

I let everyone down again.

Well, that was confusing.

On your jacket, you have a lot of things on here, but you don't have something that next time you wear a jacket, that's.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's you as a kitty cat.

And that's two things you love.

Those are the two things I love the most.

Together, put together.

Yeah.

All right, we have to take a break.

I'll let you cry about that.

We'll be back.

We're back with Taylor Swift, who was just telling me about washing her legs in the shower.

I couldn't hear you.

Did you say you do wash them, or you don't?

I do, because when you shave your legs, isn't the shaving cream is like soap, right?

It is.

I think that's a reason that most women wash their legs, because we have to, because we shave our legs.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that counts.

For sure.

I'm on the right side of history, then.

Unless you're not shaving, and then you're not washing.

So whenever you're not shaving, you don't wash, you're saying?

No, I don't think I would say that.

It seems like you did just say it.

But I kind of always shave my legs.

Every day?

I mean, yeah.

Every day?

Yeah.

God, you must be hairy.

All right, so let's talk about.

So sweet.

I don't know why you don't come here more often.

All right, let's talk about me.

We were just playing it during the commercial break, which I love that song.

I love that video so much.

Thank you.

That must have been so fun to shoot.

It was so fun.

That's actually.

Is that your new kitten?

That's my new kitten, Benjamin.

Wait, first of all, let's finish talking about the video, because it's so good.

And Brendon Urie, right?
