When you think of Taylor Swift, it’s easy to think about her multiple Grammy awards, those millions of albums that have sold worldwide, and her Eras Tour, which is the highest grossing concert tour of all time.
But also when you think about her, her three beloved cats might also come to mind: Olivia Benson, Meredith Gray, and Benjamin Button. They’ve been in her music videos and they make frequent appearances on her social media accounts as well.
Although she gave them pretty creative names based upon fictional TV and movie characters, you can get just as creative when naming your kitty (or even your dog!), thanks to these purrfect cat names inspired by Taylor Swift’s albums.
