Oh, boy.
OK.
I have a confession to make.
My name is Ellen Degeneres and I am addicted to Instagram.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
Sounds like there's some other people.
How many people here are addicted to Instagram?
[CHEERING]
All right, very excited about it, are you?
Very, very.
[LAUGHTER]
I didn't think it was going to get to this point.
I signed up for Instagram and I was just
kind of fooling around.
I just thought, I'll follow Taylor Swift
or Justin Bieber, baby goats.
[LAUGHTER]
Just kid stuff.
And then I started following a Kardashian here,
a Kardashian there.
And obviously, that led to the Jenners.
And then I got into the harder stuff-- food, cats, Beyonce.
[LAUGHTER]
Now, I follow everything on Instagram, everything.
I follow art.
I follow architecture.
I follow watches.
I follow dogs, both on Instagram and on the street.
If I see one, I will just follow a dog.
I started posting pictures of myself, which that's
when you've gone too far.
There's no need for people to see everything I do,
but I think that it's important.
Here are some things I Instagrammed lately.
The first one is me helping JLo get ready for her Vegas show.
[LAUGHTER]
I was doing some mirror work with her.
[APPLAUSE]
I don't know.
I thought it was important.
We're besties.
I want people to know that we're besties
and somehow that makes me feel better about myself.
I posted a picture of my first day of season 15
because I was going back to work and parents
were posting pictures--
[APPLAUSE]
--of their kids.
I just post random things that I think are cute.
I posted this picture of a baby doing pushups.
[LAUGHTER]
I posted that because it's a baby doing a pushup.
I mean, how do you not post that?
I spend so much time on Instagram.
I noticed something interesting.
Here's the thing.
Here's Beyonce's Instagram page.
Look at this.
She has over 100 million followers, 100 million
followers, very impressive.
Look at this.
She's following zero people.
[LAUGHTER]
Zero.
So now, I have a new goal in life.
I want to become the one person that Beyonce follows.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
That's all.
That's all I want.
I'd ask her in person, but our Illuminati meeting
isn't until next month.
[LAUGHTER]
So I'm going to do something to get her attention right now
and I need all of your help.
I want to get all 400 of you doing the "Single Ladies"
dance, OK?
So you're going to stand up.
Stand up, everybody.
All right.
And Twitch is going to come over here and I want all of you
to follow as closely as--
because if we do this right, we're going to Instagram this.
And if she sees it and you help me,
we're all going to celebrate.
All right?
[CHEERING]
[MUSIC - BEYONCE, "SINGLE LADIES"]
(SINGING) If you like it, then you
should have put a ring on it.
If you like it, then you should have put a ring on it.
Don't be mad once you see that he want it.
If you like it, then you should have put a ring on it.
Don't be mad once you see that he want it.
If you like it, then you should have put a ring on it.
Yes, yes!
[APPLAUSE]
Wow.
Thank you, Twitch.
Wow, thank you.
Thank you so much, Twitch.
Hopefully Beyonce will see that.
