Singer, songwriter Taylor Swift, whose recent double albums, "Folklore" and "Evermore" have given her fans more smashing hits, is a very, very big cat person. 

And a lot of her posts on Instagram, where is she has a 161 million-strong following, are about the said cats. 

Of course, nothing about this has got to do anything with Taylor Swift's appearance as a cat in the Razzied musical "Cats", so rest assured.

She is Taylor Swift, of the hundreds of millions of dollars of worth, so obviously, her cats are a darn sight richer than most of us. 

And since they are rich and feline and Swift's, they have fancy names to match.

Taylor has three cats, for now. The oldest is the 2011-acquired Meredith Grey, named, after Tay-Tay's favorite character from Grey's Anatomy. Then she added Captain Olivia Benson to her brood in 2014, both these cats being Scottish folds. Finally, in 2019, she added a Ragdoll named Benjamin Button... 

After Brad Pitt, of course!

Here's an off-duty Benson, post which a birthday cake we never want to cut!

In fact, Swift even managed to get some time on the "Ellen Degeneres Show" to speak about her cat, namely Detective Olivia Benson, named after Swift's favorite character on the show, "Law & Order: SVU", played by Mariska Hargitay.

Amidst the loud cheering from the audience Swift admitted that since Benson had been promoted to Sergeant on the show, things were very confusing for the poor cat, and so now at home, everyone was just calling her Dibbles because she was a scrappy little kitten. 

Talk about an identity crisis. Watch and then check out the story of Benjamin Button, the cat...

Benjamin Button was actually adopted on the set of one of her videos, "Me" and Swift revealed on Instagram Live on April 26, 2019, that she fell in love as soon as his handler gave her the kitten to hold.

Said Swift that as soon as she held him, he started purring and looked at me like, ‘You’re my mom, and we’re going to live together.’ 

And so Button came to be with Swift, as did Meredith and Olivia, and they all lived cattily ever after. 

Could cat snuggles be the reason behind Taylor Swift's flawless skin? Find out, next but before that, check out why Meredith isn't on IG as often as fans would like!
