The Ellen Show

Update 15 May 2014:
Hey Guys, I just want to say Thank you for wanting to even read my posts. I will try to be more frequent with updating but this last week has been particularly tough for me because my cat passed away but anyway here is my finished post now.
Please let me know if you think I should include links to all the videos of Taylor on Ellen that I refer to in this post.


Taylor appearing on The Ellen Show is something all Swifties enjoy watching and it has nearly been two years since Taylor last appeared on Ellen. While we all look forward to the next appearance which will probably be for the next album release in just a few months time. I am taking this opportunity to look back on some of the highlights of Taylor's past appearances on The Ellen Show.

To start of I am going back to the earliest appearances on Ellen which were in 2008. Taylor first appearance was on February 10 2008 on the day of the Grammys when she was nominated for Best New Artist which she lost to Amy Winehouse. Taylor was just starting out and still opening for all the country headliners at the time.

Skip forward to November 2008 and Taylor's highly anticipated 2nd Album Fearless was about to be released. Taylor had a bit of a release party on The Ellen Show with some interesting results. While Taylor was being interviewed by Ellen she was surprised by a few special people that caught her completely off guard.


Taylor has continued to make many appearances on The Ellen Show since 2008. Taylor has surprised some dedicated fans, performed both with The Agency and acoustically, Invited Ellen to her LA Speak Now World Tour, appeared on the show for promotional events, done red carpet interviews and been scared multiple times by none other than Ellen herself.

Taylor has done some pretty amazing things for her fans and they have not just been on The Ellen Show. On The Ellen Show Taylor has had competitions to find her biggest fan and rewarded them with tickets to her shows with backstage passes, Met a military wife who walked down the isle to Love Story and brought her to the CMA awards and held an exclusive concert in the LA studio parking lot as part of RED Release Week where fans could win tickets to the concert.

Ellen joined Taylor on stage at LA's Staples Center in August 2011 during Taylor's Speak Now World Tour concert. Ellen appeared from under the stage 3 songs into the show and stayed on stage while Taylor performed Our Song. I hope Ellen joins Taylor on stage again at some point.



Taylor being scared by Ellen is something that never gets old and the creative ways Ellen comes up with to scare Taylor are great. The best scares in my view are the first time Ellen scared Taylor in her dressing room bathroom before the show started and the Haunted Hallway for Halloween 2012. Taylor being scared in the bathroom is awesome because Taylor just drops to the floor and that is a long way down for her at 5'11 tall. The same thing happens again in 2012 during the Haunted Hallway when someone dressed up pops out of the wall and she just drops to the floor once again. As long as Taylor is distracted by someone in front of her she is really easy to sneak up on as shown below.


Taylor has appeared on The Ellen Show for promoting the release of her new perfumes Wonderstruck and Wonderstruck Enchanted, The release of the animated movie The Lorax with Zac Efron and The release of the movie Valentines Day. Ellen has proceeded to ask Taylor about many different things although a common theme is always her personal life. Taylor is someone who doesn't talk about her personal life and Ellen knows that but it does make great interviews with Ellen making jokes about it.

Ellen often has a corespondent at many of the major award shows that happen through out the year and Taylor often stops for a quick entertaining chat on her way up the red carpet. There are many funny moments between Taylor and Ellen, Some of which can be found below.


I love seeing Taylor appear on Ellen and hope she makes an appearance soon
