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.
[MUSIC - TAYLOR SWIFT, "SHAKE IT OFF"]
(SINGING) That's what people say, mm-hmm.
That's what people say, mm-hmm.
I go on too many dates--
Your musical crush-- somebody in the business.
Oh, Justin Timberlake.
Justin Timberlake is your favorite?

[SCREAMING]
That's the best surprise ever.
This is the best day ever.
Finish this statement--
I am Taylor blank.
I think just like birth certificate-wise, it's Swift.
Like, 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
[LAUGHTER]
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.
[LAUGHTER]
"Kitty Corner" is a show who people who love cats.
And we'll answer your questions about cats.
you can call us with your questions.
And we can call it cat calls.
Or, look with the cat called in.
(SINGING) Every single time I come on this show,
it's really weird, really weird.
(SINGING) All because of Ellen--
(SINGING) I 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.
[SCREAMS]
[MUSIC - TAYLOR SWIFT, "STYLE"]
(SINGING) You got that James Dean
daydream look in your eye--
(SCREAMING) Taylor!
(SINGING) --And when we go crashing down we
come back every time.
We never go out of style.
You've got that long hair slick back white t-shirt--
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.
(SINGING) We never go out of style.
[CHEERING]
That was an amazing montage!
I know!
And that's-- no, no one's in there.
We're not going to do it to you today.
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 scare--
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!
There were several ways I could have died.
Well, now you're being dramatic.
No, that's extreme.
Yeah.
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.
That's not a good example.
No, no.
You could have hit your head on the toilet bowl.
But it's funny afterward.
You 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 [STRAINED MOAN].
You went [STRAINED MOAN] and you couldn't breathe.
That's how happy I was.
That's how happy you were to see me fall down like that.
Yes.
And now you do it too, you said.
It's caught on.
It's a great sound.
If you go back and watch it on YouTube, listen for her laugh,
and then who will be the one that's embarrassed?
Not the one on the ground.
