We have had a lot of fun with our first guest over the years.

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.

That's what people say.

I've gone on too many days.

Your musical crush, somebody in the business.

Oh, Justin Timberlake.

Justin Timberlake is your favorite.

Justin!

Just a kid, I can't play,

I can't play, I can't play.

That's the best surprise ever.

This is the best day ever.

Yeah.

That's great.

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.

That's true though.

I'm 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.

Kitty Corner is a show for people who love cats.

And we'll answer your questions about cats.

Yeah.

You can call us with your questions.

And we can call it cat calls.

Or look what the cat called in.

Every single time I come on this show,

it's really weird, really weird.

All because of Ellen.

I've 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.

I'm sorry as I could die.

You got that dream, dream,

day, dream, look in your eye,

and I got the best.

Taylor!

I'm not going to touch it down.

We come back.

I'm not going to touch it down.

Why did you do that?

I'm not going to touch it down.

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, ha, ha, ha.

Yes.

That was an amazing montage.

I know.

And that's, no, no one's in there.

OK.

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.

Were there injuries?

There were several ways I could have died.

Well, now you're being dramatic.

Yeah.

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.

Yeah.

Well.

That's not a good example of it.

No, no. But.

No, you could have hit your head on the toilet.

It was 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 .

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, yes.

100

And now you do it too, you said.

101

It's caught on.

102

Yeah.

103

It's a great sound.

104

If you go back and watch it on YouTube, listen for her laugh.

105

And then who will be the one that's embarrassed,

106

Not the one on the ground.

107

Keep in mind that you haven't been here in four.

108

No, how long has it been?

109

Yeah, four years.

110

I was recovering from the fall.

111

No, no, no. But look at all the content we had,

112

and you haven't been here in four years.

113

You'd think you'd want to come back because you had so much fun.

114

I know, and now I have.

115

OK, and now you've come back.

116

Yeah, I have come back.

117

I mean, I had an album out called Reputation.

118

I know.

119

And I really.

120

You guys are friendly.

121

Yeah, with the album, I just basically wanted to just make music and not explain it.

122

Yeah.

123

But I missed you so much.

124

It worked out.

125

It was really.

126

You still sold a bunch of albums without even talking.

127

I mean, usually people go to promote their music because it helps sell albums.

128

You don't have to do that.

129

Well, that's nice of you to say.

130

It's true.

131

I mean, I am having fun being back here.

132

It's been really great to be back here.

133

And I definitely do, I think as a songwriter,

134

I enjoy communicating about what I've made.

135

I really do like that part of the process.

136

But I also just feel like with my career,

137

I want to do what feels right at the time.

138

So at that time, I coined this phrase,

139

there will be no explanation.

140

There will just be reputation.

141

Because I am dramatic.

142

That's a very dramatic thing.

143

But it rhymed.

144

It was kind of catchy.

145

And so I stuck with it.

146

Right.

147

Is that in one of your songs?

148

Because if it isn't, it should be.

149

Thank you.

150

No. And I think it's a little late for that,

151

because now we're on to another different album.

152

I know.

153

But you still could have that.

154

For an album that's not Reputation?

155

Yeah.

156

It's a little off brand.

157

No. But I will think about it.

158

No. Just like clothing comes back in style,

159

you can come right back around to that topic again, if you'd like.

160

It could be like a vintage.

161

You can do anything you want, Taylor Swift.

162

Thank you for saying that.

163

Yeah.

164

You know, you, I mean,

165

really, people thought, oh, god,

166

she's been away for so long.

167

How is this album going to do?

168

And they put so much,

169

I don't think pressure on you,

170

because I don't think you felt.

171

Yeah, there's pressure.

172

Really?

173

Yeah, for sure.

174

Oh, OK.

175

Because it seemed like people were expecting this not to be as good,

176

or that album not to be as good,

177

and you just came back and proved them all wrong.

178

Aw.

179

You know, it's true.

180

Thanks.

181

Because you didn't worry about how certain people do things.

182

You do things your own way,

183

and it all works out for you.

184

Thank you so much.

185

Well, you're welcome.

186

Now, let's talk about me.

187

No, not talking about me.

188

But so these, here, let's talk about,

189

you're on the cover of Entertainment Weekly,

190

and you have all these Easter eggs on here, right?

191

Yeah, yeah.

192

And I feel like.

193

Explain what the eggs are to people who don't understand.

194

Yeah, because I think that is necessary.

195

So it's like when we say Easter eggs,

196

we're not only talking about Easter eggs that you would go on an Easter egg hunt for on Easter.

197

It's kind of like a clue,

198

like a foreshadowing kind of thing.

199

I like to plant Easter eggs in a video that will be like a lyric from unreleased music,

200

or like a little hint or a little wink to what's coming in the future.

201

Right.

202

So yeah, that was kind of the theme of what we did the Entertainment Weekly thing on.

203

And it's just been really fun to kind of expand the musical experience past just listening to a song.

204

I also want people to be watching the music video,

205

and what's that thing in the background,

206

and what's that song playing underneath there,

207

and is there a reason she said that in French?

208

Right.

209

Because people, and usually your fans are pretty good at figuring it out, right?

210

They're excellent at figuring it out.

211

What is the worst?

212

How far off have they been?

213

What's the worst they've been?

214

Oh, man.

215

Well, there were some fans that thought I had something to do with Avengers Endgame.

216

Oh, really?

217

Which I would have loved to have been asked, but I wasn't.

218

No, you weren't.

219

Asked to be in it at all.

220

Yeah.

221

Because we had the single coming out the same day,

222

and I have a song that was called Endgame.

223

And so they were like,

224

oh my god, she's going to defeat Thanos.

225

And I let everyone down again.

226

That's, well, that was confusing.

227

On your jacket, you have a lot of things on here,

228

but you don't have something that next time you wear a jacket, that's.

229

Thank you.

230

You're welcome.

231

It's you as a kitty cat.

232

And that's two things you love.

233

Those are the two things I love the most in the world.

234

Together, put together.

235

Yeah.

236

All right, we have to take a break.

237

I'll let you cry about that.

238

We'll be back.

239

We're back with Taylor Swift,

240

who was just telling me about washing her legs in the shower.

241

I couldn't hear you.

242

Did you say you do wash them or you don't?

243

I do, because when you shave your legs,

244

isn't the shaving cream is like soap, right?

245

Yeah, it is.

246

That is, I think that's a reason that most women wash their legs,

247

because we have to, because we shave our legs.

248

Yeah.

249

Yeah.

250

So that counts.

251

Oh, for sure.

252

It's a good.

253

I'm on the right side of history, though.

254

Unless you're not shaving, and then you're not washing.

255

So whenever you're not shaving,

256

you don't wash, you're saying?

257

No, I don't think I would say that.

258

Well, it seems like you did just say it.

259

I kind of always shave my legs.

260

Every day?

261

I mean, yeah.

262

Every day?

263

Yeah.

264

God, you must be hairy.

265

All right, so let's talk about.

266

So sweet.

267

I don't know why you don't come here more often.

268

Yeah.

269

All right, let's talk about me.

270

We were just playing it during the commercial break,

271

which I love that song.

272

I love that video so much.

273

Thank you.

274

That must have been so fun to shoot.

275

It was so fun.

276

That's actually.

277

Is that your new kitten?

278

That's my new kitten, Benjamin.

279

Wait.

280

First of all, let's finish talking about the video, because it's so good.

281

Brendan Urie, right?

282

Is that his last name?

283

Brendan Urie is one of the most incredible performers.

284

Yeah.

285

He is amazing.

286

I love that y'all were together in that.

287

Oh, yeah.

288

I mean, he does this little dance coming up.

289

He already did it.

290

But all his little dances are like that.

291

He's so good.

292

He's just like, he would raise the energy in any situation.

293

Yeah.

294

I love him.

295

He was just amazing.

296

All right.

297

We're going to get to the kitten in a minute.

298

But speaking French in the beginning of it, does that mean something?

299

Yeah, definitely.

300

OK.

301

Did you know French already,

302

or did you learn it for that?

303

I've tried to learn French several times in my life,

304

because I think it's a really beautiful language.

305

It is beautiful.

306

And I definitely made sure that I had native French speakers on set

307

because I didn't want to butcher the language of love.

308

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

309

Say something in French right now.

310

You're putting me on the spot.

311

But I mean, je suis calm.

312

Ah, thank you.

313

I don't know.

314

What does that mean?

315

It means I am calm.

316

Oh.

317

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

318

Oh, that's good.

319

That's a good one.

320

Thanks.

321

I don't know what that means,

322

but that sounded real French.

323

All right.

324

Because I love cats.

325

OK, let's talk about cats.

326

So was that kitten?

327

It doesn't.

328

No. So was that kitten just there to be in the video,

329

or did you and then you took it home,

330

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

331

He was a little cat actor.

332

He was there.

333

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

334

All I know is we had to have a kitten in the scene,

335

because I wanted to have the scene where it's like,

336

you know, he gives me a ring.

337

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

338

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

339

and I'm like, yes, absolutely.

340

You know me clearly.

341

And so they show up with this little kitten,

342

And his handler was like,

343

do you want to hold him first?

344

I was like, absolutely I do.

345

And so they hand me this tiny cat.

346

And I've never really experienced a cat that the second I held this little kitten,

347

he started purring like a motor.

348

And I was like, OK, whose cat is this?

349

You're really lucky whoever owns this cat.

350

And then the girl was like,

351

actually, he doesn't have a home.

352

And then my eyes turned into hearts.

353

Yes.

354

I just immediately was like,

355

I can't think about anything else.

356

And so how did the other two get along?

357

You can't just bring a cat home.

358

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

359

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

360

It's like marshmallows throwing each other.

361

That's good then.

362

And his name is Benjamin?

363

Benjamin Button.

364

That's right.

365

Because it's an incredible movie.

366

Yes, it is.

367

It's an incredible film.

368

He ages backwards.

369

Yeah.

370

All right, so we're back with the only person who loves cats possibly as much as I do, or more.

371

But I think, no, we would.

372

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

373

No, but no, we both love cats.

374

Let's just leave it at that.

375

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

376

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

377

Is that what we have?

378

I think it's just a picture,

379

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

380

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

381

That's just?

382

That's my middle child.

383

Yeah, she's kind of like a seal.

384

And she just lays on her back.

385

Oh my god.

386

Isn't she amazing?

387

And her tail just never grew.

388

Oh my god.

389

And then she stands up.

390

Here's meerkat.

391

One.

392

Yeah.

393

Get it.

394

She's a really special animal.

395

And that was when she was a baby, meowing.

396

Oh my god.

397

They're just so cute.

398

And now, so you would be,

399

and you're doing the movie Cats.

400

Yeah.

401

So you probably have an advantage,

402

because you probably act more like.

403

I understand them.

404

Yes.

405

Yeah.

406

More study.

407

Because James Corden had to learn.

408

They went to cat school.

409

We all went to cat school.

410

You have no idea.

411

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

412

It was like they literally,

413

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

414

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

415

Just like they're all like,

416

oh, Taylor's doing cat school again.

417

Again.

418

She's still here.

419

She's still doing cat school.

420

What did you learn?

421

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

422

Right.

423

I bet you're really a good cat.

424

I mean, we'll see.

425

I really don't know.

426

I had the most fun.

427

Yeah.

428

I had the best time.

429

All right, so wait, there's a new album coming out.

430

Are you finished with the album yet?

431

Yeah, unless I write something else.

432

OK.

433

Then I'll just probably put it on the album.

434

OK.

435

And then you have another video coming out soon.

436

Ish, yeah.

437

When is it coming out?

438

I don't know yet, because we have to finish it first.

439

OK.

440

Yeah.

441

And then I think you said you wanted me in it.

442

Yeah, I mean, that would be a dream.

443

Yeah.

444

Would you want to do that?

445

I don't know, but I'll think about it.

446

OK.

447

For sure.

448

Please do.

449

Yeah.

450

OK.

451

Great.

452

Yeah, I'll do it.

453

Cool.

454

OK.

455

That's great.

456

All right.

457

All right.

458

We have to take a break.

459

And then we're going to come back.

460

And she's going to talk all about her boyfriend.

461

We'll be back.

462

What I'll do is I'll read a question.

463

And then you will answer the question.

464

And then hit this for no apparent reason.

465

I love it.

466

It's fun, right?

467

Yeah.

468

Yeah.

469

It's like a game show,

470

but yet you win nothing.

471

What's the title of your next single?

472

Oh, I can't tell you that.

473

That's crazy.

474

I was going to try.

475

Can you sing some of it?

476

No. OK.

477

All right.

478

If you can't sleep in the middle of the night,

479

what do you do?

480

I go downstairs and rummage through the kitchen and eat whatever I can find.

481

And it's really less like a human being and more like a raccoon in a dumpster.

482

Like the next morning, we just walk downstairs and go, what happened here?

483

And I don't remember.

484

Does that help you sleep if you eat a whole lot And then?

485

It's not really voluntary.

486

Oh, do you sleep eat?

487

I think so.

488

I don't really remember it.

489

But I know it happens,

490

because it could have only been me or Katz.

491

Right.

492

Well, that wasn't the question.

493

We're learning something different.

494

I said, if you can't sleep at night, what do you do?

495

But it sounds like you.

496

I'm still sleeping and doing it?

497

Yes, it sounds like you've got an issue.

498

Yep.

499

OK.

500

Currently, what is your favorite TV show?

501

Oh, god.

502

OK, so Killing Eve, Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey, Queer Eye.

503

I'll just, I got to stop though.

504

I'm getting too excited.

505

Killing Eve is.

506

Yes.

507

What is the most rebellious thing you did as a teenager?

508

Probably when I put Joe Jonas on blast on your show.

509

That was too much.

510

Was it?

511

Yeah.

512

That was too much.

513

OK.

514

I was 18.

515

Yeah.

516

We laugh about it now.

517

Oh, that's good.

518

That was some mouthy, yeah,

519

just some teenage stuff there.

520

Wow, that's held onto you,

521

because I don't remember that at all.

522

What is your favorite curse word?

523

OK, you say yours, and we'll say it together on 1, 2, 3.

524

1, 2, 3.

525

526

It's just a good, solid one.

527

Because it can also mean really good, like .

528

Who'd you share your first kiss with?

529

It was my high school boyfriend when I was 15.

530

What was his name?

531

Drew.

532

Drew.

533

Yeah.

534

Did you leave an Easter egg during our interview?

535

Yes.

536

Really?

537

Yes.

538

I'm not supposed to do it every word.

539

No. OK.

540

Your friend invites you to dinner.

541

What do you bring?

542

White wine.

543

What kind?

544

Sancerre, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvignon Blanc.

545

Good choices.

546

Thank you.

547

I just found a really good one I'll tell you about.

548

Oh, thank you.

549

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
