Ellen DeGeneres shared a low-key but heartfelt moment when she posted a candid video to Instagram on Sunday, January 18, offering a simple message of gratitude that quickly resonated with fans.
The comedian and television icon, 67, appeared relaxed and makeup-free, standing casually in front of glass doors with her hands tucked into the pockets of her jeans. She wore a long-sleeve red-and-blue striped polo shirt paired with classic denim, keeping the look unfussy and familiar. Her short blonde hair was tousled and natural, adding to the unfiltered feel of the clip.
DeGeneres addressed the camera directly, delivering a video message and captioning the post, “Minneapolis, I love you.” The stripped-back presentation let the sentiment speak for itself, marking a quieter moment compared to her usual polished studio appearances.
