“Um, we actually never dated”: Ellen DeGeneres Made Taylor Swift Feel Uncomfortable with Insulting Questions Over Zac Efron
Taylor Swift is one of the most popular singers in the industry. Her fandom worldwide has been a hot topic among all headlines.
Interviews going over the line are nothing we haven’t heard about. The Ellen DeGeneres Show is a similar kind of talk show that interviews celebrities and sometimes the questions end up overstepping the line and making the guests uncomfortable. The Bad Blood singer has been in many relationships but has also been involved in many dating rumors.
When interviews and talk shows press about those rumors, they can easily offend her. And that’s what happened on the talk show 10 years ago.
What Did Ellen DeGeneres Ask Taylor Swift?
DeGeneres had a conversation with Swift about her career and dating life. While talking about the careers and songs, DeGeneres suddenly asks the pop star, “You were here with your boyfriend Zac Efron last time. How’s he doing?”. The question was posed due to the rumor of the two stars dating after they worked in The Animated movie Lorax in 2012. Swift casually denies it, saying, “Um, we never dated,”. DeGeneres interjects her guest to continue bombing her with the same line of questioning. She asked, “Yes you did. So which song is about Zac on the new CD?”
An uncomfortable-looking Swift continues to deny that she ever dated Efron and insists there’s nothing on her album about him. DeGeneres makes a swirling “crazy” motion with her finger and condescendingly responds, “Okay.”

What Were the Reactions to This Interview?
Eventually Swift broke her silence on DeGeneres badgering her again and again with dating questions that made her uncomfortable. She said, “Stop! This makes me feel so bad about myself every time you put like, a different dude up there on the screen and it just makes me really question what I stand for as a human being.”. It became clear that she got rattled by the questionnaire.
Even the fans had some things to say about the incident. The fans believed it was “gaslighting” and “hard to watch” in the comments section, and even Emily Ratajkowski agreed. She commented, “This is so f—ed up. She’s literally begging her to stop,”

The recently surfaced TikTok that gave fuel to the “feeling uncomfortable” spark actually brought a 10-year-old video back to the limelight. It just highlights how toxic the ex-TV Show Host was with her guests. Not just Swift, but other celebrities including Dakota Johnson and Kylie Jenner had been treated horribly by DeGeneres.
