In that video, Ellen asks Taylor, "who would frame you and for what?"
Taylor goes, "oh so many people would frame me. And they could frame you for any crime that you could go to jail for. And look at me. I wouldn't survive in jail.

And so I think the the dream and nightmare of being framed comes from, like, I could do nothing wrong. I could sit in my house with the cats all day. And somehow there could be an article about, like, me buying a house in a place I've never been, or dating a guy I've never met...".
Q: As you can see, there are so many "could"s in Taylor's speech. Did she use them all rather than "can"s because Ellen had asked a hypothetical question with "would"? Or some (perhaps all??) of the "could"s have nothing to do with the "would" used in Ellen's question?

Right, because every scenario she mentions comes from her own imagination, i.e., it's hypothetical. We might almost say highly hypothetical, as in "An elephant could come crashing through the roof of my house, and it could be carrying this week's winning lottery ticket in its tru
