Taylor Swift — Ellen DeGeneres

During her many years of hosting interviews, Ellen DeGeneres has become known for her inquisitive and fact-seeking nature, never shying away from digging deep into topics she deems factual. This characteristic was on full display in 2012 when she had Taylor Swift as a guest on her show to promote her album, Red.

Throughout the interview, Ellen was insistent on a particular point she believed to be true: the notion that Taylor Swift had once dated Zac Efron. Despite Taylor Swift repeatedly and emphatically denying the dating rumor, Ellen persisted in her line of questioning. It was only after some time that she reluctantly dropped the topic. However, she didn’t stop there. Ellen continued to probe Taylor with a series of increasingly uncomfortable questions about her personal life. Given the relentless nature of the questioning, it is no surprise that Taylor eventually snapped in response to the invasion of her privacy and the uncomfortable atmosphere created by Ellen’s persistent inquiries.
