Taylor Swift has been inviting everyone from Kobe Bryant to Fifth Harmony to Julia Roberts on stage with her during her 1989 world tour. But now? She invited the queen of daytime talk shows, Ellen Degeneres. Not only did Ellen come out and surprise the audience, but she did it all while sporting a shiny, glittery outfit, complete with a tutu. See the photos and video for yourself below:

Ellen DeGeneres is apparently fleeing the country in anticipation of Donald Trump's second term as president of the United States.
According to The Wrap, DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, purchased property in England and are putting their home in Montecito, Calif., up for sale. The two had only owned the property — one of several they own in the state — since 2019.

Kelly Clarkson will take over Ellen DeGeneres' daytime talk show time slot in 2022 with The Kelly Clarkson Show.
