While on The Jennifer Hudson Show , Ellen Pompeo opened up about being in Taylor Swift's Bad Blood music video, adding that she got a lot of cool points from both of her girls. "Taylor is such a good girl," she expressed . "I didn't know her and she invited me to be in the video, and I thought, 'Oh, that'll be fun.
' I went and did the video. Honestly, it was the easiest thing; it was like an hour or two." In the music video, Pompeo shared her scene with Mariska Hargitay as Luna and Justice.
Two of Swift's cats are named after their iconic characters: Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy and Olivia Benson from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit . Hargitay actually returned the favor, naming her new cat Karma after one of the tracks off Midnights . Kendrick Lamar was featured in the song and video.
The rest of the star-studded cameos included Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Hailee Steinfeld, Serayah, Gigi Hadid, Ellie Goulding, Martha Hunt, Cara Delevingne, Zendaya, Hayley Williams, Lily Aldridge, Karlie Kloss, Jessica Alba, and Cindy Crawford. The actress continued to explain , "At the time, Chris [Ivery] and I, we do a lot of volunteering for Children's Hospital Los Angeles here. They have an amazing program at Children's where they make music for the babies in the NICU and for the parents who have to go to work all day and can't be with the kids.
They record their voices singing nursery rhymes or telling them stories, and they play it for the babies in the day when the parents can't be there. The babies respond to it and it increases their outcomes, makes their outcomes more positive, and it's a really nice program, but they need money to run it." "So I just got up the chutzpah and asked Taylor, 'Could you write me a big old check for Children's?' She honestly knew me all but 20 minutes, and that girl wrote me the biggest check without blinking an eye," Pompeo recalled .
This is not the first time that Swift has shown her generosity, and it will certainly not be the last. Sophia Soto is a writer and interviewer with a passion for all things entertainment.
