Taylor Swift

We know Taylor Swift as a music mega star, but she's also just a regular cat mom who can't get enough of her furbabies.

In fact, Swift, 33, is so in love with her feline friends that she even brought along one of them for her epic photoshoot for TIME Magazine after being named the outlet's 2023 Person of the Year.

The singer's jaw-dropping new cover features an appearance from one of her three cats, Benjamin Button, who was wrapped around her neck like a scarf for the powerful shot. The fluffy creature even appeared to be posing for the camera just like his mom, as he flashed his blue eyes right into the lens to make for the perfect photo moment.

In addition to Benjamin, Swift is also a cat mom to Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, named after TV leading ladies Ellen Pompeo and Mariska Hargitay for their on-screen roles on Grey's Anatomy and Law & Order: SVU, respectively.

The "Anti-Hero" songstress took to Instagram on Wednesday, Dec. 6, to celebrate her new Person of the Year honor, giving her fans a look at her and Benjamin's stunning cover together.

"Time Magazine: We'd like to name you Person of the Yea-         

Me: Can I bring my cat," Swift wittily captioned her first post on Wednesday, before sharing more gorgeous pictures from the shoot and thanking the publication for naming her this year's Person of the Year.

"The biggest, loudest, most aggressively over-excited thank you to @time for naming me Person of the Year," she wrote in one of her follow-up posts. "Thank you to @inezandvinoodh for the vision and fun they bring to every shoot I’ve ever done with them. Loved the whole creative team who had no right to serve as hard as they did," she added, while crediting the glam team for their roles in making the sublime photoshoot happen.

She also shared another post to express her gratitude to interviewer Sam Lansky, who she said has such a "wondrous way with words."

In their in-depth conversation, Swift opened up about all sorts of topics, including her history-making Eras Tour, her re-recorded albums and of course, her newfound romance with Travis Kelce.
