00:00 What's it say? Brand, Brandy, Brandy, be, Brandy, Brandy to be.

00:10 Katie Couric shares the moment she learned she was going to be a grandma,

00:15 and her reaction is priceless.

00:18 I'm incredibly emotional, honestly.

00:21 On Sunday, the journalist posted a throwback clip with the exciting news on Instagram,

00:26 sharing the moment her daughter Ellie presented her with one of Taylor Swift's

00:30 signature friendship bracelets before attending the Grammy winners' Eras tour over the summer.

00:35 What's it say? Brand, Brandy, Brandy, be, Brandy, Brandy to be.

00:46 I'm pregnant.

00:56 You are?

00:56 Katie captioned the sweet clip, "This is what happens when you go to a Taylor Swift concert

01:06 last summer and forget your friendship bracelet and your daughter say,

01:10 'Don't worry, we made one for you.'"

01:12 That G must look like a B, huh?

01:14 Are you freaked out?

01:19 No.

01:20 That's so...

01:25 Katie adds that she's been dying to share the news before adding the hashtags

01:29 "OMG" and "Need my glasses" emoji.

01:33 Oh my gosh.

01:33 The former Today show host is mom to Ellie and Caroline Monaghan,

01:37 whom she shared with her late husband, Jay Monaghan, who died in 1998.

01:43 Who's the most influential person in your life?

01:45 Of course, my daughters.

01:46 Back in August, Katie shared these snaps with her girls at one of Taylor's LA shows,

01:50 calling Taylor a brilliant singer-songwriter and mesmerizing performer in the caption,

01:55 adding that her daughters have a PhD in Swiftology.

01:59 We felt so lucky to experience this together.

02:02 Shortly after that, ET caught up with Katie, who shared a health update

02:07 one year after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

02:10 I'm feeling really, really well.

02:12 There are a lot of people out there who I know are dealing with breast cancer

02:17 and they're really in a lot of pain or they're suffering or they're anxious and worried.

02:23 And my heart goes out to those people.

02:26 Katie first revealed the news of her diagnosis in a personal essay posted on her website.

02:32 Well, I went in with my phone camera and I was going to share it with my followers and

02:38 people who read my newsletter and go to the website to say, "Don't forget. I forgot.

02:43 I don't want you all to."

02:44 So when my breast radiologist, Susan Drostman, said, "Can you turn off your phone?"

02:49 I was like, "Uh-oh. What does that mean?"

02:52 And she said, "I think there's something we really need to biopsy and I want to do it today."

02:57 I was extremely fortunate that my cancer was detected at a very early stage

03:02 when it's the most treatable.

03:04 And that is why I'm the screen queen.

03:07 I have always said, "You have to get screened for all kinds of cancers,"

03:12 because that's when you can put it in your rear view mirror.

03:18 Now it seems safe to say Katie is looking straight ahead and is ready to lean into grandma life.

03:24 I'm pregnant.

03:25 You are?

03:32 That G must look like a B, huh?

03:40 Wow!

03:42 Are you freaked out?

03:44 No!

03:46 That's so...

03:48 We were all acting so weird.
