“And then there were three…”
Taylor Swift has revealed she adopted the cat from her newest music video – and his name is just adorable.
The 29-year-old confirmed the newest addition to her family on Instagram on Friday, with a photo of the two of them staring at the camera.
“And then there were three…,” she captioned the photo.

The ME! singer later added another photo of her newest feline pal, where she revealed his name: Benjamin Button (and added that he’s a “good boy”).
In an Instagram Live video with Brendan Urie, who she collaborated with on the new song, she spoke about how she ended up adopting Benjamin.
She explained:
“He was just a cute kitten who didn’t have a home.
“They did a programme where they try to get kittens adopted by putting them in commercials and stuff and god it worked, I fell in love.
“His handler said ‘Do you want to hold him real quick to get familiar with him?’ and I was like ‘I really do’.

“She handed me this tiny cat and he just starts purring and he looks at me like, ‘You’re my mom, and we’re going to live together’.
“I looked at Brendon and he’s like, ‘You’re going to get the cat aren’t you?’ “
“When I started holding him I was obviously in love with him and his handler was like ‘He doesn’t have a home’ and he looked at me like ‘Adopt me, please’.”
Benjamin Button joins Swift’s other cats, Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey, who are named after the Law & Order: SVU and Grey’s Anatomy characters.
