As a mom with a daughter who loves both cats and Taylor Swift, we just had to make this list to share with you.

First, let’s pay homage to Taylor Swift’s own cats: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button. Named after iconic TV shows like grey’s anatomy and law and order special victims unit, and a curious case from a famous movie, these names are a testament to Taylor’s love for pop culture and her cats. 

Taylor Swift’s cats include two Scottish Folds and one Ragdoll, as Taylor Swift fans may already know. Specifically, Meredith and Olivia are Scottish folds and Benjamin is a rag doll cat.

Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order SVU Star recently created a full-circle moment with Taylor Swift by naming her new Siamese cat “Karma,” after Swift’s hit song “Karma” from the 2022 album Midnights. This delightful exchange comes years after Swift named one of her beloved cats Olivia Benson, inspired by Hargitay’s iconic character on Law & Order: SVU.

Hargitay shared the news on Instagram, writing, “Karma is a Cat @taylorswift Meet Karma. My Cat. #MeAndKarmaVibeLikeThat #AndIKeepMySideOfMyPawClean #KarmaIsACat,” including lyrics from Swift’s song. Swift was thrilled by this gesture, responding with enthusiastic comments on the post​.

This cat based interaction highlights the mutual admiration between the actress and the singer, celebrating their shared love for cats and pop culture.
