DeGeneres has been teasing Atlanta fans with hints regarding the giveaway all week and today she tweeted that she would be giving away a pair of tickets to someone dressed as a cat with "the biggest bowl."

The costume contest was a nod to DeGeneres' love for Hallmark's Kitten Bowl.

But, there was a catch. After catching the attention of DeGeneres' team, finalists had to make up a song to prove that they deserved tickets.

Katie Battle, a nurse at WellStar Kennestone Regional Medical Center, caught the attention of the TV show host (who was watching remotely from Los Angeles) by incorporating DeGeneres' popular "be kind" mantra.

Battle said she plans to take a friend/coworker who helped her put together her costume as her guest to Super Bowl LI.

Here's the segment as it will air on Ellen:
