Famous Taylor Swift Cat Names That Nailed It

Real-world names that became iconic. Here's what makes them work.

Meredith Grey Taylor Swift's own cat, named after Grey's Anatomy character

Taylor's first cat, whose name established the pop culture reference tradition for celebrity pet naming that fans immediately wanted to emulate.

Olivia Benson Taylor Swift's second cat, named after Law & Order: SVU character

Perhaps Taylor's most famous cat — Olivia Benson has appeared in music videos and has her own massive social following, inspiring countless fan cat names.

Benjamin Button Taylor Swift's third cat, named after the F. Scott Fitzgerald character/film

Found on the set of the 'ME!' music video, Benjamin's literary name continued Taylor's tradition of naming cats after beloved pop culture figures.

Taylor Swift is famously a cat lover — her own cats Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button are celebrities in their own right. But the real treasure for naming your cat lies in Taylor's extraordinary catalog: seventeen years of songs, albums, eras, and iconic moments that produce some of the most beautiful, quirky, and meaningful names imaginable. From the pastoral beauty of Folklore ('Betty', 'Cardigan', 'Augustine') to the glittering maximalism of 1989 ('Enchanted', 'Wildest Dream', 'Clean'), each album era offers a completely different naming palette. Red era names carry heartbreak and passion. Reputation era names lean dark and fierce. Lover era names are dreamy and pink. Midnights names are introspective and cinematic. The best Taylor Swift cat names work on multiple levels — they sound great as a cat name, they reference something specific in the Taylor Swift universe that means something to you, and they might prompt a delighted reaction from any Swiftie who hears you calling your cat in the park. From 'Marjorie' to 'Fearless' to 'Folklore', the catalog has a name for every cat.

Tips for Choosing Taylor Swift Cat Names

1

Match the cat's personality to a Taylor era — a fierce, shadowy cat might suit Reputation, while a dreamy fluffy cat suits Lover or Folklore.

2

Single-word song titles ('Fearless', 'Enchanted', 'Cardigan') make the best practical cat names — easy to call out.

3

Consider your favorite album era when naming — it ensures the name stays deeply meaningful to you.

4

Taylor's own cats are named after TV/film characters — following her tradition is a valid and charming approach.

5

Female cats suit names from 'Betty', 'Marjorie', 'Augustine'; males might suit 'William', 'James', or 'Benjamin'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Taylor Swift has three cats: Meredith Grey (named after the Grey's Anatomy character), Olivia Benson (named after the Law & Order: SVU character), and Benjamin Button (named after the F. Scott Fitzgerald character). All three are Scottish Folds.

Folklore and Evermore are goldmines for ethereal, literary names: Betty, Augusta, Marjorie, Willow, Ivy, Cowboy, Long Pond. The 1989 era offers clean, crisp names. Reputation offers edgier choices. Each era suits a different cat personality.

Absolutely. Many Taylor Swift song titles work perfectly for male cats: James (from Betty), William (from Betty's story), Romeo (from Love Story), Exile, Karma, or album names like Midnights, Fearless, or Folklore.

Beyond song titles, consider: names from her squad (Karlie, Gigi, Selena), names from her cats (Meredith, Olivia, Benjamin), names from her eras (Fearless, Lover, Folklore as descriptors), or character names from her music videos and lyrics (Betty, Stella, Augustine).

How to Choose a Taylor Swift Name for Your Cat

Match the era to the cat's personality

Taylor Swift's discography spans dramatically different moods and aesthetics. A fluffy, dreamy, rose-colored cat might suit the Lover era (Daylight, Afterglow, Paper Rings). A sleek, mysterious dark cat suits Reputation (Venom, Midnight, Delicate). A wise, gentle older cat might suit Folklore (Marjorie, Betty, Long Pond). Let your cat's personality guide your era selection.

Prioritize names that work when called aloud

The best cat names have one or two syllables and end in a vowel or a soft consonant. From Taylor's catalog: Willow, Betty, Karma, Ivy, Stella, Daisy, Fearless, Cardigan (shortened to Cardi). Longer names can work as official names with a shorter nickname for daily use — Marjorie becomes Marge, Enchanted becomes Chant.

Explore beyond the obvious hits

Everyone knows 'Fearless' and 'Cardigan', but Taylor's deeper cuts offer equally wonderful names. 'Labyrinth' (Midnights), 'Mirrorball' (Folklore), 'The Great War' (Midnights), 'Bejeweled' (Midnights), 'Long Live' (Speak Now). Deeper cut names signal dedicated Swiftie knowledge and give your cat a more distinctive name.

Consider naming after Taylor's own cats

Following Taylor's tradition and naming your cat after a beloved fictional character is perfectly Swiftie. Meredith, Olivia, and Benjamin are all wonderful cat names on their own merits — and instantly recognizable to fellow fans. You could also extend the tradition: what's your favorite fictional character whose name would suit a cat?

Create a name that spans the Eras

If you're a completist Swiftie, consider names that work across multiple eras or carry multiple meanings in Taylor's catalog. 'Long Live' spans Speak Now and the Eras Tour closing anthem. 'The 1' opened Folklore and became iconic. 'Daylight' appears across albums. These meta-references make for conversations and name choices with layers of meaning.
