Emily Ratajkowski has criticized an old Ellen DeGeneres interview in which the host made a dating game about Taylor Swift.

During Taylor's 2012 appearance on the talk show, Ellen introduced a game in which Taylor was asked to ring a bell if she had dated male celebrities including Zac Efron and Joe Jonas.

The star of "Shake It Off," who appeared visibly uncomfortable, told Ellen she didn't want to do it, refused to ring the bell for any photo, and eventually exclaimed, "Stop it, stop it, stop it! This makes me feel so bad about myself."

Emily's feelings regarding the resurfacing of the video on TikTok are crystal clear in her comments.

"This is so f**ked up," the Gone Girl star wrote. "She's literally begging her to stop."

The TikTok video also featured Taylor's 2019 interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, in which she ostensibly references the awkward game with Ellen.

"When I was like 23, people were just kind of reducing me to - kind of making slideshows of my dating life and putting people in there that I'd sat next to at a party once and deciding that my songwriting was like a trick rather than a skill and a craft," she told him. "It's a way to take a woman who is doing her job and succeeding at doing her job and making things, and it's, in a way, it's figuring out how to completely minimise that skill."

In the caption of the TikTok clip, the writer added, "In this interview she's 100% describing being on the Ellen show."

Swift has been dating "Conversations with Friends" actor Joe Alwyn since 2016, but she prefers to keep their relationship private in comparison to her past relationships with stars such as John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal. As soon as the singer began dating as a teenager, her relationships became tabloid fodder, with fans willing to fight for her in the event of a breakup. I

In the past, Taylor Swift cited the media as the reason she has not dated for the past several years.

In an interview with Glamour UK, the "Shake It Off" singer revealed that she believes it is unfair that she has been labeled "boy crazy" and "clingy."

With the release of "Midnights," every relationship Taylor Swift has ever had is being scrutinized under a microscope once more. Some are concerned that she and Alwyn have not yet considered marriage. In contrast, she has released three albums in the past three years, is rerecording six albums, is directing short films, and has hinted that she may one day direct a feature film. Why would she be interested in marriage, W Magazine asks.
