Ellen Pompeo is appreciative of Taylor Swift!
Appearing on the latest episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, airing Wednesday, April 2, the actress, 55, opened up about how the pop star, 35, showed a huge amount of generosity towards an initiative that Pompeo was passionate about.
“Ten years ago you were in a Taylor Swift video?” host Jennifer Hudson first asked, to which Pompeo replied, “I was.”
“Actually, I forgot about Taylor, so that’s true, I do get a lot of points for that,” the Grey’s Anatomy star said of the cool points she gets from her children thanks to her cameo in the music video for Swift’s 2014 song “Bad Blood.”
“That got me so much mileage with both of the girls for a stretch,” Pompeo, who shares Stella, 15, Sienna, 10, and Eli, 8, with her music producer husband Chris Ivery, continued. “And Taylor is such a good girl and I didn’t know her and she invited me to be in the video and I thought, ‘Oh that would be fun.’ ”
The star, who was marking 20 years of Grey’s Anatomy on the show, continued, “I went and did the video, it was the easiest thing, like an hour or two.”
Pompeo then opened up about how Swift contributed towards a program at a children’s hospital where she and her husband, 57, volunteer.
