#15: Ellen’s Memory Slip with Katy Perry’s Past Marriage

Ellen DeGeneres is typically sharp regarding celebrity facts, so her rare slip-ups stand out even more. One such moment occurred during an interview with Katy Perry when Ellen asked the pop star if she had ever been married.

Perry, with a mix of humor and surprise, reminded Ellen of her previous marriage to Russell Brand, adding that Ellen had even sent them wedding gifts. The audience laughed, but the moment was undeniably awkward. Ellen quickly tried to recover, but it was a rare and memorable misstep in her usually well-prepared interviews, leaving both host and guest slightly flustered.
