Taylor Swift and her cat Meredith both seem to have a soft spot for ball gowns — which Swift found out with near-disastrous consequences the night of the Met Gala, when Meredith went after her gown.
“I’ve never seen more fashionable people lose their composure quicker than when a cat walks up to a satin, custom Oscar de la Renta gown and then decides to make a home inside of it,” the singer told PEOPLE of the cat’s Met Gala antics while at the Keds Style Icons Event at Nordstrom at The Americana at Brand. “She just passed, dug her claws in and started to roll … like when you see a crocodile attack an antelope on National Geographic,” explained the star, 24. “That’s what she tried to do to the dress.”
Luckily, Swift’s little ball of fur — who “fancies herself as quite a hunter” — didn’t cause any real damage to the “Red” singer’s frock. Said Swift, laughing, “She’s a chubby housecat. She’s not very strong!” Aside from the near feline-fashion disaster, the rest of the getting-ready process for fashion’s biggest night went off without a hitch. “I got ready with Karlie [Kloss],” Swift said. “We were both wearing Oscar de la Renta, and we kind of shared a hair girl and got ready in a hotel room. It was so much fun getting ready with one of your best friends.”
Just in case you needed more convincing to buy Ed Sheeran‘s album, his BFF Taylor Swift has provided it. The 24-year-old singer snapped and shared the cutest picture of Ed, 23, and her older cat, Meredith for her Twitter followers on Thursday afternoon (June 26).
“If you’re on the fence about buying Ed‘s new album, X, allow me to convince you with this image,” Taylor captioned. CharityBuzz is hosting an auction where you can win tickets to an upcoming Ed concert, plus a backstage meet and greet and memorabilia.
The proceeds from the auction will benefit the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, an organization that keeps music alive in schools by donating musical instruments to under-funded music.
Twenty-four year old Taylor Swift's little family has grown by one. Nope, she's not pregnant. And she hasn't married anyone (that we're aware of). Even BETTER, she has a new super adorable kitten named Olivia Benson, named after the "Law & Order: SVU" character played by Mariska Hargitay.
Meredith Grey, Taylor's first cat, a Scottish Fold named after a character from Grey's Anatomy who's lived with Taylor for four years is not as enchanted with little Olivia as the rest of the world — at least not according to her Twitter feed.
They make me a tad sad, Then again, let's not forget it was Meredith who attempted to shred Taylor's Met Gala dress not that long ago. Perhaps even back then, she had a sneaking suspicion ... it has been 3 months since she's been featured on Swift's feed.
@austinswift7 She just stared out the window listening to Kelly Clarkson's "breakaway" and thought hard about her life choices
@austinswift7 I'm just a ball of fur, standing in front of another a ball of fur, asking her to love me
