Meet the Children of Taylor Swift: Cats Meredith, Olivia, and Ben

Taylor Swift, known as the “Lover” singer, proudly cherishes her role as a pet parent…

…to three charming feline companions: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button. Her affection for them is evident and endearing.

Swift has always been unreserved about integrating her cats into her public persona…

…and her fans adore her for it. All three of her cats have made frequent appearances on her social media platforms, and have even starred in some of her music videos. Named after Taylor’s favorite TV and movie characters, these rock star pets even graced her 2020 holiday card – adorned in delightful winter attire with similar imagery from the singer’s ‘folklore’ album that year.

The Grammy-winning artist has humorously stated that her cherished cats…

…have had a positive impact on her career. In 2019, she shared with TIME, “I have cats. I’m obsessed with them. I love my cats so much that when a role came up in a movie called ‘Cats,’ I just thought, like, I gotta do this.” In fact, Swift attended a “cat school” to prepare for her role on set. Swift has openly discussed her deep affinity for cats on several occasions, explaining to TIME, “They’re very dignified. They’re independent. They’re very capable of dealing with their own life.”

And now, the cat is finally out of the bag…

After weeks of rumors and anticipation, it’s official. Taylor Swift is dating none other than Travis Kelce, and they stepped out in town this weekend to prove it. On Saturday, the pair was spotted in New York City holding heads while heading to a Saturday Night Live after-party, that is, after making an appearance on the show. It didn’t take long for Swifties to start embracing all of this romance as the social media reactions were brimming with positivity.

So who takes care of Taylor Swift’s cats when she’s out on The Era’s Tour?

Rumor is that cats Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button are watched by Taylor’s parents and professional pet sitters, who take great care of Taylor and Travis’ furrbabies while she’s out on tour and he’s scoring touchdowns. We have little doubt that the three cats have their own certified pet nutritionists as well. After all, this is the ‘Era’ of comprehensive pet care.

I dedicate this article to my daughter, Katie, who is an ardent Swiftie.
