Now, have you always been into fashion like this?
Since you were a little girl, you just-- or
is this something you just kind of found?
Actually, when I was a very young girl,
I was more into running around with the guys.
And I was a tomboy, basically.
You were a tomboy.
So I didn't really dress up like this.
Uh-huh.
But I was always into putting outfits together.
Yeah.
Then I became really into girly stuff and heels.
Yeah.
It's good.
I always like to see what you wear.
I mean, it's always--
Thank you.
Yeah.
You have-- and that new video, "Hard,"
you had the helmet with the little ears
on, which is fantastic.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
You had that ready.
I didn't even know.
[LAUGHS]
I love that.
I love that video.
You just look great.
And this is--
Thank you.
I was kidding you earlier at rehearsal,
saying that this was one of your first television appearances.
But it really was.
This was one of the first shows that you ever did.
It was.
Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Way back then.
Thank you.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
What I love--
[LAUGHS]
Oh, wow.
Look at that.
Oh, wow.
Now you look at that--
look.
Look at you now, though.
I mean, that's like 2005.
Don't you feel like you've lived a million lifetimes since then?
You just have exploded onto the scene.
Absolutely feel like so much has happened since the beginning.
And it's been such a short space of time, only a few years.
But I have to be so grateful, because we
have achieved so much in such a short space of time.
And we travel so many different places
that I never thought I'd be able to see, at least before 21.
Yeah.
21.
21 years.
How many hits have you had at 21?
[LAUGHS]
How many hits?
Come on, don't be humble.
How many?
I-- I don't know.
Yes, you know how many.
I don't.
[LAUGHS]
8?
10?
15?
A few.
I have no idea of the exact number, but--
A lot.
A few.
A lot.
That's amazing.
But then you have it to back it up, too,
because a lot of people-- there are a lot of pop stars
that have hits, but they don't have the depth to them.
You have intelligence.
Thank you.
And you light up the screen.
And you're just smart as can be.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERING]
Really.
Oh, Ellen.
You're so nice.
Well, it's true.
It's true.
I mean, I really respect you.
Thank you.
I think that you're just a smart, smart girl.
And so I think that you look at us next to each other,
and you'd see that we appear to be different.
But we are so similar on so many levels.
[LAUGHTER]
We're both cover girls.
[CHEERING]
[FLASHBULBS POPPING]
But I think we have some pictures of some--
right?
We have some pictures of you in all these amazing outfits
like I'm talking about.
This must be so fun for you, because-- and they're all--
Dangerous?
Completely-- well, that looks very dangerous.
[LAUGHS]
How do you-- you can't put your--
Yeah.
I stabbed a few people giving them hugs that night,
as well as that bracelet.
Yeah.
That's risky.
That's very risky.
Yeah.
Very dangerous also.
That's very dangerous.
That's risky.
I have a lot of dangerous outfits, it seems.
You keep people away from you like that.
[LAUGHS]
[LAUGHTER]
It's like you're wearing barbed wire or something.
Might as well.
Now that is uncomfortable, I got to tell you.
You had those boots on earlier.
I don't know how you wear those.
They're so uncomfortable.
You don't mind that?
They're not uncomfortable for me.
Those are obviously more comfortable.
Yes.
But I was telling you backstage, I felt like--
I've never skied before, but I felt like I was leaning.
[LAUGHS]
[LAUGHTER]
I couldn't-- I was-- and I was trying to--
You did so well.
Oh, no.
No, no.
Honestly, you did so well.
No.
I walked like I was John Wayne or something.
Didn't she do well?
No.
I did not do well.
I thought she did amazing.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
I'll start dressing that way.
[LAUGHTER]
And how many-- you do know how many tattoos you have, right?
You have 13.
Is that right?
13 tattoos?
Yes, approximately 13.
And what is the newest one that you have?
The newest one goes across my chest right here.
But--
What does it say?
Not showing too much.
OK.
Don't get too close up on the camera, camera guy.
I see you over there.
[LAUGHTER]
Zoomin'.
Camera guy.
[LAUGHS]
Ryan.
But--
What does it say?
It reads, "Never a failure, always a lesson,"
basically saying it's OK to make mistakes.
Just don't make them twice.
[APPLAUSE]
Never a failure, always a lesson.
Yes.
That's good to remember.
And she did it--
that's very smart.
You did it upside down so that you could read it.
Well, backwards.
Backwards.
So you could read it in the mirror.
So I could read it to myself.
Yeah.
I have one that says "Right side up."
[LAUGHTER]
It's always reminding me which way to-- oh, I'm upside down.
[LAUGHS]
And I read that you said that you're
going to fall in love by 31.
That's your goal, that you have to be in love by 31.
Is that real?
Did you say that?
No, but I hope I am.
Yeah.
31 is a decade away.
Yeah.
I better be in love by then.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
Are you dating anybody now?
No.
I'm single.
Really?
Yes.
What about that guy we keep seeing you with?
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
And is it-- now, I heard-- is it "Ri-anna" or "Ri-ana"?
"Ri-anna."
I say "Ri-anna."
But "Ri-ana" is still OK.
I don't know why everybody is insisting on calling you
"Ri-ana" if your name is "Ri-anna."
Because-- well, I think it's my accent that makes me say
"Ri-anna."
Uh-huh.
But that's what your name is, then.
It's like me being Ellen and people
call you "Elaine" or something like that.
[LAUGHTER]
If you want us to call you "Ri-anna,"
we'll call you "Ri-anna" from now on.
"Ri-anna" or "Ri-ana."
No, no.
It's your name.
"Ri-anna"
It's "Ri-anna," everyone.
OK.
From now on--
Per Ellen.
