Ellen DeGeneres’s video of Taylor Swift shows the latter being escorted behind the scenes through what was labeled as a ‘haunted hallway.’ The moment this concept is introduced, Swift’s resistance is very apparent. The video’s transcript presents her frantic and desperate cries of ‘I don’t want to go in it’ and ‘Stop it!’ and the scary music being played as an accompaniment to them. Her fear escalates to the point of nearly losing it, and the words ‘It’s horrible! It’s terrible!’ ricochet around the set. While the actress is in torment, or perhaps that’s what makes it amusing, the segment is actually bringing out the human side of the usually cool-headed singer and is also quite entertaining. Ellen, ever the troublemaker, seems to revel in the pandemonium when she eventually presents Swift with a strummy gift—a pair of ‘Ellen socks’—to pacify the situation. The show often featured unique animal encounters.

The old clip that was released has touched a lot of hearts and it has been the cause of a big wave of nostalgic and empathetic comments. One netizen very neatly put the sentiments of many long-time fans by commenting, ‘I used to know every little Ellen interview with Taylor by heart because I watched them so many times. This is GOLD.’ This comment indicates that such coming togethers were years-long and at the very core of pop culture, with the audience being overly excited to catch every single appearance.

Many viewers could see themselves completely in Taylor Swift’s reaction. One of the prominent thoughts in the comments was the common fear. ‘Nope! I’m with Taylor! I hate being scared,’ someone said with no uncertainty. Another comment was, ‘She’s my spirit animal. I’d be exactly the same,’ suggesting that Swift’s highly publicized fear made her more approachable and human to her audience. One user even shared his ghost tale, writing, ‘I hate haunted places too. One time I went to a haunted place on fort Delaware and of course a ghost followed me until I told him to go back,’ mixing humor with a touch of creepy personal experience.

The post not only provided an immediate source of comedy, but it also brought back beautiful memories of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’. Many people were longing for the show’s comeback indicating its great popularity. ‘Please bring back this show. It was the best and made happy people every day,’ one user sadly pleaded, followed by another, ‘I miss The Ellen Show so much.’ This singularity of nostalgia points to the large-scale effect of the show on the entertainment offered by daily routine for almost two decades. The program was known for showcasing incredible talent.

Nevertheless, not all the comments were about the past. Some users revealed that in Swift’s tortured reiteration of ‘I hate it’ there is a deep, yet very, modern significance. One especially powerful answer said, ‘This too accurately depicts the horror of living through the current timeline in America — “I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.”‘ This philosophical reflection reflects how old material can be perceived in different ways through a present-day perspective, shocking the audience by being in tune with their mood. DeGeneres has also commented on current social issues.

The show has now been cancelled but this kind of clips still manage to survive and be watched, giving a good laugh and a little bit of nostalgia to both the old and the new audiences. The content’s longevity is the confirmation of the fact that a well-done and relatable fright (or its recall) is always out of date. Ellen DeGeneres’s post is a great illustration of how the time of pure, comedic panic was shared among all and how it did not forget reminding us about the basics of why these interviews were regarded as iconic in the first place.
