Very special names

Since she was a child, Taylor Swift thinks of herself as an animal lover. The first one to come into her life was Meredith Grey, an adopted kitten, named after one of the characters in the TV series Grey’s Anatomy, one of the singer’s favorite shows.

She gave her a good home

After a while, Taylor decided to adopt a second kitten, whom she named after Olivia Benson, a character in the TV series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

The sweet pet came into her home and brightened up the moments that Taylor shares with her cats, who now live a life of luxury.

She adopted a third kitten

The third member of the Swift family is called Benjamin Button and his story is a cute one. Taylor was filming the music video for her song Me! when she heard a cat meowing. She asked where it was, and when she found him, she asked to adopt him in order to give the cat a home full of love and happiness.

Always together

Meredith, Olivia and Benjamin have great lives since Taylor Swift is never away from them. They also have their own special carriers, so that they can come with her whenever she has to travel. However, when she’s home, the three pets are able to enjoy every single corner of the house.

The adventures and special moments of all three cats are documented by the singer, who posts about them on social media.

The “You Need To Calm Down” singer copyrighted Meredith’s, Olivia’s, and Benjamin’s names in order to put them on merchandise, which she sells on her website.

The kitten’s images are used on watches, clothing items, bags, toys, jewelry, decorative items, furniture, and mobile phone accessories, amongst many other things.

They are big stars

The most fun thing about Taylors cats, is that they are superstars too. Meredith and Olivia went on the big screen in Deadpool 2, when Wade Wilson put a shirt printed with the image of both cats. It had a sign on it that reads: "Meredith & Olivia, best friends forever."

The singer thanked Ryan Reynolds—the lead role in the film—for having included her cats in a scene.

Las gatitas también han sido las protagonistas de algunos anuncios publicitarios y formaron parte del videoclip Blank Space.

Benjamin, como ya sabemos, hizo sus pinitos en el video de Me! y además saborea las mieles del éxito al posar junto a su dueña en varias fotografías.
