Swift didn’t duet with The Ellen DeGeneres Show host, instead she brought her out during her song “Style” to strut the runway in a copycat costume that Swift has worn.
She did duet with both Morissette and Maines, singing “You Oughta Know” and “Goodbye Earl” with the latter.
“She inspired a generation of confessional female singer-songwriters who all of a sudden felt like you could actually say these raw feelings that you had,” Swift said before bringing out Morissette, clearly indicating what an inspiration the singer is to her as a songwriter.
“You could actually sing about your real life, you could put detail to it, you could get really, really mad if you wanted to,” she continued, Zap2It reports. “And I think it’s fair to say that so many of the female singer-songwriters of my generation, including myself, would not write the way that we do without her and her music.”
Swift is currently on a five-night run at the Staples Center, bringing out Chris Rock, Friends star Matt LeBlanc and Sean O'Pry, star of Swift's "Blank Space" video, Mary J. Blige and Uzo Aduba during her previous concert.
