Global superstar Taylor Swift isn’t just a record-breaking musician—she’s also a devoted cat mom to three feline companions who have become celebrities in their own right.
Swift’s furry family includes two Scottish Folds, Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey, and a Ragdoll named Benjamin Button. Over the years, the cats have made frequent appearances in her music, merchandise, and even high-profile magazine features.
Feline Fame in Music and Media
The cats first rose to fame in Swift’s 2019 “ME!” music video, where Olivia and Meredith made a memorable cameo during a dramatic argument scene between Swift and collaborator Brendon Urie. It was on that same set that Swift met Benjamin Button, whom she later adopted, expanding her pet family to three.
Their star power only grew when Benjamin recently joined Swift on the cover of Time magazine’s Person of the Year issue, marking a rare celebrity-cat crossover moment.
Social Media Darlings
Swift frequently shares glimpses of her cats’ antics on Instagram, delighting fans with playful posts. In one viral moment, she captioned a wide-eyed photo of Olivia, “She just read all the theories,” poking fun at fans’ speculation about her music.
The singer has also taken her cats beyond the screen—Olivia once joined her for a stylish stroll in New York City, perfectly matching Swift’s outfit.
A Purr-fect Legacy
From music videos to magazine covers, Swift’s cats have become integral to her brand, charming fans worldwide. As her career continues to soar, one thing is certain: Olivia, Meredith, and Benjamin aren’t just pets—they’re bona fide stars.
