Taylor Swift’s TikTok takeover continues with a hilarious new confession that she is, indeed, a certified cat lady.Swift is the proud cat mom of three kitties — Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button — whom she frequently features across her socials, holiday cards, music videos and on her merchandise
However, she revealed in a comical new video that she never intended to become a cat lady. In fact, she originally wasn’t a fan of the label and didn’t want that to become part of her identity.
The Grammy winner shared a throwback interview from 2014 in which she opens up about the hesitation she had about getting a feline companion for her first cat, Meredith. The companion would end up being Olivia.”[I talked with] friends about it and before I got the second cat. I was really kinda canvassing everyone I knew, going, ‘Is cats … cat lady? Or, you know, two cats is cats and there’s more than one?’” she explained. “And they’re like, ‘No, three cats is a cat lady. Two cats is a party.’”
The interview then abruptly cuts off and switches to present-day Swift, who is sauntering across the room with Meredith bouncing on her hip. The “willow” singer then walks off screen to grab hold of Benjamin and Olivia before sending a knowing glance at the camera.Swift captioned the video “little did she know” and included the appropriate hashtag “#meow.
In addition, she updated her TikTok bio line to now read: “This is pretty much just a cat account.”Benjamin is Swift’s newest kitty, meeting the little guy while filming her 2019 music video, “Me!” The singer even shared a sweet behind-the-scenes video of their fateful first meeting, when he stole her heart — and turned her into a cat lady — by purring up a storm the moment she held him.
