Ellen Pompeo Reflects On Appearance In “Bad Blood” Video, Says Taylor Swift Gave Her ‘Biggest Check’ For Children’s Charity

During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Wednesday (April 2), actress Ellen Pompeo expressed gratitude for Taylor Swift’s generous contribution to a children’s hospital program. Pompeo reminisced about her cameo in Swift’s 2014 music video for “Bad Blood,” which earned her cool points with her children. Swift also named her oldest cat Meredith Grey, after Pompeo’s character on Grey’s Anatomy, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this season. “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,’” Pompeo recalled. “I went and did the video, it was the easiest thing, like an hour or two.” The actress asked Swift if she would be interested in making a charitable donation to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “I just got up the hooks and asked Taylor, ‘Could you write me a big old check for Children’s?’ She knew me all but 20 minutes and that girl wrote me the biggest check without blinking an eye,” Pompeo shared.
