For three consecutive days in April 2018, Ellen DeGeneres—the internationally famous TV talkshow host from Metairie—broadcast a video clip of New Orleans musician, Valerie Sassyfras.

“So, there’s this video I saw last week,” the bemused DeGeneres told her millions of viewers. “And I cannot get this out of my head. It’s a lady performing a song called ‘Girls Night Out.’ Let’s all enjoy it.”
