Taylor Swift fans know that the singer is a cat fanatic and currently has three adorable cats, Olivia Benson, Meredith Grey and Benjamin, in her luxury beachfront villa in Malibu, California, USA.

Meredith Grey was purchased and adopted by Taylor on Halloween 2011 from an animal shelter in Franklin, Tennessee

Meridith Grey and Olivia Benson are Scottish Fold cats, adopted in 2011 and 2014 respectively. While filming the music video Me!, Taylor met Benjamin the cat and adopted him after learning that the kitten had no owner and was sent to a filming location to find a new owner.

“The first time I met Benjamin, he was like, ‘Mommy, let’s live together!’ I fell in love with him right away,” Taylor said.

Meredith, Olivia and Benjamin are frequent characters on Taylor Swift’s Instagram page, which has 154 million followers. The singer often mentions her cat in her status lines, using cat-face emojis when communicating with fans.

In addition, Taylor’s “royals” also enjoy the same privileges as their “owners” such as having a private jet, going to luxury resorts or being TV guests.

Taylor Swift also spent tens of thousands of dollars to register trademarks for her three cats and produce items such as clothes, phone accessories, watches, toys, furniture, key rings… bearing their names. These items are sold on Taylor Swift’s website, along with the singer’s music and promotional items.

By selling copyrighted products and modeling, Taylor’s three pet cats also earn a lot of money for themselves. It is known that Taylor Swift’s cat Olivia Benson is currently the richest living cat in the world with a fortune of up to 97 million USD (equivalent to about 2.2 trillion).

The singer has repeatedly expressed her special affection for cats. In April 2019, Taylor was selected as one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world. In an interview with the magazine, Taylor said: “The thing that influences me the most is cats. They are animals that know how to behave, are independent, and help us learn a lot from those personalities. Living with cats is wonderful.”

At the end of 2019, Taylor Swift also participated in the musical film “Cats” adapted from the classic musical of the same name. The singer said that the main reason she participated in this work was because of her pets.

Sharing about the process of participating in this film, the “You belong with me” singer said that to prepare for the character, the director asked her and the cast to spend three days attending a class on cat movements. However, Taylor Swift was attracted to this training course and continued to spend more than 4 months studying here despite being busy with her own music career.
