What do you think about?

Are you really in the moment?

Do you ever, like, and this is not to diss any, because you've got to once in a while drift off and go,

oh, I wonder if this is going on.

Do you ever leave that moment and go someplace in your head?

You know what?

Sometimes, yes.

Because, you know, and I catch myself because I'm like, focus, focus.

Because if I, like, there are a million different times during that show where I could, like, fall into a hole and break my leg.

Yes.

Because there are, like, all these different cues, and you have to remember them but sometimes I'll be like, oh, my gosh, cats are so cute.

I'd love a cat.

Like, maybe I should get a cat.

Can they travel on planes?

Do they allow cats in hotel rooms?

But they're so cute.

Some cats like to swim.

That's cool.

And then I'm like, I'm on stage right now.

Like...

Congratulations on your two Grammys the other night and a standing ovation.

Thank you.

How great was that?

Thank you.

It was like top five best moments of my life, the standing ovation at the Grammys.

Top five.

Like, first, well, there have been so many wonderful ones.

Like, that's so top five.

One being with him, obviously.

The top four?

Yeah.

I think, do you, OK.

Like, winning album of the year at the Grammys, playing Gillette Stadium, singing with James Taylor, standing ovation at the Grammys, buying my cat.

That cat is unbelievably cute.

We're going to show pictures of that cat.

I am so envious of you having that cat.

My cats don't look like that.

Oh, wow.

No, that cat is the cutest thing.

It's a Scottish fold, right?

Yeah.

It's the cutest cat I've ever seen in my life.

And I look at my cats when I go home every day going, why aren't you that cute?

They're not as cute.

That is, okay, so you brought some video.

Just to rub it in my face how cute that cat is, that it's cuter than my cats, you brought a video as well.

Yeah.

All right.

I take a lot of video of the cat.

All right, I don't blame you.

All right, let's take a look of the video.

Oh, this one's called Cat Fail.

All right.

That's hilarious. And fail.

Uh -oh.

Oh, no. Oh, no. That's awesome that you take this. And that.

So the CD launch is very exciting.

Yeah.

But can I talk about your new addition to your family first?

Yes, you can.

Oh, OK.

You can do that.

So I got a new cat.

Yeah.

Um...

Yeah.

Come on.

Her name is Detective Olivia Benson.

Mm -hmm.

She was named after my favorite character on Law & SVU, but it's very confusing for me, because since I named the cat

Detective Olivia Benson, she's since been promoted on the show to Sergeant Olivia Benson and it's very confusing for the cat and also for me.

Yeah.

So do you call her detective sometimes and sergeant sometimes?

Usually, well, I actually call her a name that doesn't really make any sense, but her name is, in the house, it's Dibbles.

Because it suits her personality more than Olivia.

She's like a scrappy little cat.

So her name is like Olivia, but it's like her personality's more like, here goes the Dibbles.

Like...

What?

Wait, and we have a video?

You brought a video?

I did.

I brought several videos, um, because I over -prepare, but I'm not sure which one they've chosen.

Oh, this is her sleeping.

She's a very aggressive sleeper.

All right.

Everybody kind of sleeps in weird positions, I guess, but...

Girls...

Come on.

Cat is cornering the market.

Oh, my God. On weird positions.

That is the cutest thing.

Taylor and I have been working on a project together where we get to talk about our passion for cats.

It's a local access show, and we brought a clip of our first show, and if it's okay with you,

we thought we would show it to you right now.

It's 5 .55 a .m on Sunday.

Welcome to our very first episode of Kitty Corner.

on Utah Public Access Channel 843.

If you're looking for us, it's just after the music channels.

100

I'm Taylor with a Y.

101

And I'm Ellen with a Y.

102

I'm just kidding.

103

I hope that's okay.

104

It's perfect.

105

I'm so excited we finally get to have our own show, and I want to thank our whole crew here at Channel 843

106

in helping put this show together and as part of your court -ordered public service.

107

Thanks, Paco.

108

Thank you, D -Train.

109

Thank you.

110

Kitty Corner is a show for people who love cats, and we're gonna talk about cats.

111

For example, I'll talk about my cats.

112

And I'm gonna talk about my cats.

113

And we'll answer your questions about cats.

114

Yeah.

115

You can call us with your questions.

116

Well, not now.

117

We don't have a phone yet.

118

But eventually, and we can call it cat calls.

119

Or look what the cat called in.

120

Or it's raining, ringing cats and dogs except no dogs.

121

No dogs.

122

No. Before we go any further, I just want to welcome our newest sponsor.

123

Oh, Flea Gone Collar.

124

Are fleas a problem for your pretty kitty?

125

Then...

126

Get your flea gone!

127

Get your flea gone!

128

Get your flea gone!

129

Get your flea gone!

130

Collar!

131

Collar!

132

Hey, Taylor, did you notice that I had pictures of our cat's frame back there?

133

You did?

134

Yeah.

135

Let's look at them.

136

Okay.

137

Okay.

138

Our cats are so cute.

139

I've got some questions about your cats.

140

Oh, and I've got some questions about your cats.

141

I'll go first.

142

What's the cutest thing your cats ever did?

143

Okay.

144

So Olivia and Meredith have been fighting a lot lately, bickering, you know, second child syndrome or second kitty syndrome, as I like to call it.

145

And so I thought, are these two ever gonna get along?

146

And I was just so worried about it.

147

And the other night, in the middle of the night, I got up out of bed to get a drink of water,

148

and what did I see on the foot of my bed?

149

Is the two kitties snuggling together like they're best friends, but secretly.

150

It's like they've been trying to hide their friendship from me.

151

That was so cute.

152

That's adorable.

153

Oh, I just died.

154

That's so cute. So cute.

155

Yes.

156

Now, I'll ask you a question about your kitties.

157

Where's the cutest place that your cats have ever hidden?

158

Oh, one time, my cat was on the pillow.

159

That's cute.

160

Well, okay, what should we do next?

161

I think I know what you want to do next.

162

I think I know what you want to do next.

163

Let's say it at the same time.

164

Watch a cat video!

165

Okay.

166

What's she doing?

167

What is she doing?

168

Oh, my God, what is she doing?

169

What is she?

170

What am I doing?

171

Hey.

172

Why are you always...

173

What a weird little animal.

174

Oh, that was cute.

175

That was really cute.

176

That's so cute.

177

I just wish we could watch cat videos all day.

178

I know, but unfortunately, it's only a four -minute show.

179

And we can't forget to thank our sponsor, our other amazing sponsor.

180

That's right.

181

Kitty Corner is also sponsored by Carla's Formula cold medicine for cats.

182

Does your cat have the flu?

183

Then...

184

Carla's formula, it works on fevers.

185

Carla's formula, it works on sneezing.

186

Achoo!

187

If your kitty, kitty is coughing.

188

Oh, my heavens, it's almost 6 a .m.

189

And that means it's time to say goodbye.

190

So stay tuned for your Bible lesson and Mexican cooking on holy guacamole.

191

For Kitty Corner, I'm Taylor with a Y.

192

And I'm Ellen saying bye for Meow. For Meow.

193

Bye bye.

194

Did you know French already, or did you learn it for that?

195

I've tried to learn French several times in my life, because I think it's a really beautiful language.

196

It is beautiful.

197

And I definitely made sure that I had native French speakers on set, because I didn't want to butcher the language of love.

198

Like, that's not what I came here to do.

199

Say something in French right now.

200

You're putting me on the spot.

201

But I mean, je suis calm.

202

Ah, thank you.

203

I don't know.

204

What does that mean?

205

It means I am calm.

206

Oh.

207

Je ne peux pas te parler quand c 'est comme ça.

208

Oh, that's good.

209

That's a good one.

210

Thanks.

211

I don't know what that means, but that sounded real French.

212

All right.

213

Because I love cats.

214

OK, let's talk about cats.

215

So was that kitten?

216

It doesn't.

217

So was that kitten just there to be in the video, or did you and then you took it home,

218

or did you put it in the video and it was yours already?

219

He was a little cat actor.

220

He was there.

221

Apparently there was, I didn't know this at the time.

222

All I know is we had to have a kitten in the scene, because I wanted to have the scene where it's like, you know.

223

He gives me a ring.

224

I'm like, no. He gives me flowers.

225

I'm like, no. And then he gives me a kitten.

226

And I'm like, yes, absolutely.

227

You know me clearly.

228

And so they show up with this little kitten.

229

And his handler was like, do you want to hold him first?

230

I was like, absolutely I do.

231

And so they hand me this tiny cat.

232

And I've never really experienced a cat that the second I held this little kitten, he started purring like a motor.

233

And I was like, OK, whose cat is this? you're really lucky whoever owns this cat.

234

And then the girl was like, actually, he doesn't have a home.

235

And then my eyes turned into hearts.

236

Yes.

237

I just immediately was like, I can't think about anything else.

238

And so how did the other two get along?

239

You can't just bring a cat home.

240

Cats don't, they're not like that.

241

They're like little puff balls getting in a fight.

242

It's like marshmallows throwing each other.

243

That's good then.

244

And his name is Benjamin?

245

Benjamin Button.

246

That's right.

247

Right.

248

Because it's an incredible movie.

249

Yes, it is.

250

It's an incredible film.

251

He ages backwards.

252

Yeah.

253

All right, so we're going to take another break, and then we'll come back again.

254

OK, we'll be back.

255

We're back with the only person who loves cats possibly as much as I do, or more.

256

But I think, no, we.

257

I don't want to get in a fight about it.

258

No, but no, we both love cats.

259

Let's just leave it at that.

260

All right, Taylor Swift is who I was talking about.

261

OK, so there's video of your other two cats on the plane, I think.

262

Is that what we have?

263

I think it's just a picture, but it's a good demonstration of just what my personal life looks like.

264

Yeah.

265

It's just, well, that's just Olivia stretching.

266

That's just?

267

That's my middle child.

268

Yeah.

269

She's kind of like a seal.

270

And she just lays on her back?

271

Oh my god.

272

Isn't she amazing?

273

And her tail just never grew.

274

Oh my god.

275

And then she stands up.

276

Here's meerkat.

277

One.

278

Yeah.

279

Get it.

280

She's a really special animal.

281

And that was when she was a baby, meowing.

282

Oh my god.

283

They're just so cute.

284

And now, so you would be, and you're doing the movie Cats.

285

Yeah.

286

So you probably have an advantage, because you probably act more like.

287

I understand them.

288

Yes.

289

Yeah, I study them.

290

Because James Corden had to learn.

291

They went to cat school.

292

We all went to cat school.

293

You have no idea.

294

It was like all my dreams came true on the set of this film.

295

It was like they literally, they're like, you can come to set as much as you want.

296

And I ended up being there every day for four months.

297

Just like, they're all like, oh, Taylor's doing cat school again.

298

Again.

299

She's still here.

300

She's still doing cat school.

301

What did you learn?

302

Well, you crawl around on the floor and you pretend to be a cat.

303

Right.

304

So this was a good excuse that it's OK and not crazy.

305

This was great.

306

I was like, this is my job, guys.

307

I just have to do this.

308

This is my job.

309

And then I'm like, you know?

310

You know?

311

It was great.

312

It was like the best experience.

313

And then I would go to set.

314

So I'd go to cat school in the morning.

315

Then I'd stop by the music department, do a little music, do some voice lessons.

316

And then I'd go to set.

317

And I'd watch

318

Rebel Wilson be a cat, or Idris Elba be a cat, or Ian McKellen be a cat, Judi Dench be a cat.

319

Who's the best out of all those, obviously?

320

I mean, there's got to be one.

321

Everybody's a different kind of cat.

322

That's a political answer.

323

It's, well, it's also the truth, you know?

324

They really all are great cats.

325

They are all different.

326

Yeah.

327

But I bet you have the advantage.

328

I bet you're really a good cat.

329

I mean, I don't, we'll see.

330

I really don't know.

331

I had the best.

332

I had the most fun.

333

Yeah.

334

I had the best time.

335

Name three words to describe yourself.

336

Curious.

337

Cat lover, make it one word.

338

Sure.

339

Romantic.

340

Yes.

341

I would say creative, also.

342

That's nice.

343

Thank you.

344

Yes.

345

Okay.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
