Ellen DeGeneresisn’t opposed to using scare tactics on her interview subjects — especially duringHalloween.
On Wednesday’s episode ofThe Ellen DeGeneres Show,Halseyreceived quite the shock right after the daytime talk show host brought up the subject of her relationship withEvan Peters. Midway through the interview, anEllencrew member in a long black wig shot up from the table next to Halsey, igniting a loud scream from the singer.
“That’s what you call the one-two punch,” responded DeGeneres, 61, laughing at her guest’s reaction.

One onlooker said Peters appeared to be “flirting” with Halsey as they stood in line for a roller coaster at the amusement park.
The singer later made her relationship with theAmerican Horror StoryactorInstagram-officialahead of aHalloween partyshe hosted on Friday where the two were spotted holding hands.
