How many cats does Taylor Swift have?

Taylor Swift has three cats. Read on to find the names of each–and two cats who live on in her heart.

Benjamin Button — This cuddly Ragdoll, whose name comes from the 2008 Brad Pitt movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, met his famous pet parent on the set of her music video “ME!,” in which he has a small role. Sharp eyes can also spot Benjamin in the music video for “You Need To Calm Down.”

Olivia Benson — Named in honor of the character portrayed by actress Mariska Hargitay on Law & Order: SVU, the Scottish Fold has played a starring role in the life of the music superstar since 2014. Olivia is believed to be one of the richest felines on earth, with a net worth of $97 million!

Meredith Grey— Tayor’s BFF (in this case, Best Four-legged Friend) since 2011, the Scottish Fold cat who bears the name of one of the singer’s favorite small screen characters — Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey’s Anatomy — made a cat-meo alongside her sis-fur Olivia Benson in the music video for “Me!”

Indy— This Siamese/tabby got the chance to witness the start of the singer’s rise to stardom.

Eliehsen– One of the singer’s first pets, Eliehsen was also a Siamese and tabby mix.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Taylor once had two buddies who barked? The miniature Dobermans were called Bug and Baby.

Cat Names Swifties Will Love

Betty— Fans can hear the relationship between this popular high school girl and her boyfriend James in the album Folklore. The name Betty means “oath of God.”
