The DailyMail UK reports, “Taylor Swift introduced her new kitten Olivia Benson to all her fans on Twitter only three months ago, and already the adorable feline has scored herself a modeling contract.
Olivia stars in an advert for Keds to promote Taylor’s latest design collaboration with the shoe brand: the Champion Sneaky Cat sneaker.

The $55 lace-up sneakers were released in honor of the country-pop singer’s new album, 1989, and feature the outline of a gray cat on the sides, and Taylor’s handwriting on the heel.

Meredith, who has her own Twitter account and 11,000 followers no less, was also named after a TV show.
‘Her name is Meredith Grey because she’s a gray cat, and because I love Grey’s Anatomy,’ Taylor told Us Weekly, referring to Ellen Pompeo’s character on the ABC medical drama.
‘She’s awesome. She’s like one of those cats that give cats a good name. She doesn’t hide under furniture and get weird around people.
‘She’s really friendly and fun and she’s perfect for the road because she doesn’t ever get freaked out. So I’m really glad that she has a cool personality.’
