Taylor Swift has a lot of love for her cats.
The "Blank Space" singer is the proud cat mom of three, including two Scottish Folds named Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey and a Ragdoll cat named Benjamin Button.
Over the years, Swift has been happy to elevate her cats' profile, both on and off social media. In addition to sharing hilarious videos and photos of them on Instagram, they have played a significant role in her career, appearing on official merchandise and being referenced in her lyrics.
Most notably, Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey appeared at the beginning of her "ME!" music video from her Lover album. In fact, Swift first met Benjamin Button on the set of the music video before deciding to adopt him. In 2023, Benjamin Button got his star moment as he posed with Swift for the cover of Time's Person of the Year.
Ahead, look back at the cutest photos Swift has shared of her and her cats.

These days, Swift's cats rarely make appearances on the singer's social media, but when they do pop up, fans go wild. To celebrate Swift's purchase of her music catalog, her close friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff shared a video on X recreating a viral clip in which they finish the bridge of 2017's "Getaway Car." The singer toted her Scottish Fold kitty in one arm as she and Antonoff reenacted the video.

Before kicking off the final leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour, Swift walked around an empty Hard Rock Stadium with a rarely seen special guest: her cat Olivia. The proud cat lady was "back in the office" as she strutted around the venue to the tune of GloRilla and Sexyy Red's "WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME."

"In front of our young daughters!"
