- And you have something
else, as I'm told. I have no idea what
they talking about. - Oh, Zac wanted to show you how
he learned how to play guitar. I taught him how to play guitar. - I got my first guitar
lesson from Taylor. - He's really good at
it for like, one lesson. It's really great. - One lesson? - He had like, one lesson
and he's good at it. And we learned-- I taught him
how to play Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People. - Really? - Yes. - All right, are you
going to play guitar? - Uh, ye
ah. We can play a little guitar. - There are two
guitars coming out. [AUDIENCE CHEERING] - Do you have two picks? - Yeah, there's a
pick right here. - Oh, there they are. - So, yeah, you
can use my guitar, I'll use your cool guitar. - You have your
own picks, Taylor. - Sweet. I know, that's all
I carry around. - Taylor Swift picks! - Yeah, that has my face on
it, which is a little awkward. But yeah, show her the
chords that you know. - OK, let's see, what's
the first one again? - E minor. There,
and there. - All right, here we go. - It sounds so good! [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] - G, G. - Only a girlfriend would
react that quickly like that. - Then to D, D, D. - D, D, D. - Then A major. There it is. All right. So you go like, [MUSIC - FOSTER THE PEOPLE,
"PUMPED UP KICKS"] - Yeah. - Yeah, that sounds great. (BOTH SINGING) All the other
kids with the pumped up kicks, better run, better
run, outrun my gun. All the other kids
with the pumped up kicks, you better run, better
run, faster than my bu
llet. - (SPEAKING) Could we
change up the lyrics? - If you want to. - All right. Let's see what I
can come up with. All right, ready? - Yeah. (SINGING) Ellen
works a long day. Giving weird interviews
in a slick, cool sweater. And it gets kind of weird,
yeah, callin' us out, like we're boyfriend
and girlfriend. But it's not 'cause
we're just sitting here, and we got cat videos and
dance on Betty White and stuff. And it's always gonna be weird-- - Is this just
about being weird? - 'Cause this song
is all
about Ellen and Swift, yeah. Every single time I
come on this show, it's really weird, really
weird all because of Ellen. Every single time I
come on this show, it's really weird, really
weird, always end up dancing. I've been on this
show eight times now, and I still remember
Ellen hiding in the bathroom with
a hidden camera, and she scared me so bad. And I fell and I
could have died. She'd always asks
me who I'm dating every time I'm on the show. And I don't even
know why, but it gets
5 million hits on YouTube. 'Cause every single time
I come on this show, it's really weird, really
weird, all because of Ellen. Every single time I come on
this show it's really weird, really weird, always
end up dancin'. - Wow, that was amazing! [AUDIENCE CHEERING] - I love it! All right, we'll be right back!

Zac: plays one chord Taylor: "that sounds so GOOD!" Taylor is the cheerleader we all need in life
Love seeing Taylor being snarky. Seemed like she genuinely had fun calling out Ellen. Taylor has class.
Sometimes I forget that zac efron can sing like I haven’t watched all hsm films at least 30 times.
If you're watching this after 9 years, you're a legend
Their voices mix so well together. I know Zac doesn't do music that is not for a movie but I really wished we could have gotten a duet from them!
I need a whole album with just Zac and Taylor doing covers
Taylor and Zac were really exposing Ellen years ago with this song
Their voices compliment each other so well.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Zac's and Taylor's on spot lyrics ?!!! Edit: I know now that they were prepared for this ok? 🙃
She was roasted in her own show.
Cant believe it’s been ten years. It’s still iconic..!
There voices match so well together. It would be nice to see them do a cover of a full song
They really made a diss track on Ellen infront of Ellen... Legends
As a guitar player this is so relatable. It’s so exciting when you can strum one chord. Also he can actually sing really well!
They sound soooo good together what the heck??? ❤️❤️
it’s been years & this still remains one of my favorite taylor interviews. so iconic.
I love that they're the first guest who give it back to Ellen as good as they can!
2:26 The way Ellen looks at the camera when Zac sings “All because of Ellen.” 🤣
I was first thinking "Wow, I didn't know Zac could sing.." Remembers he was the star of High School Musical
I just saw the short of this on YouTube and knew there was a lot more to it. OMG this is so awesome! I wonder how Ellen feels knowing these 2 came up with lyrics and a whole story just for her show.
