Taylor Swift's Commitment to Cat Fashion Remains Unmatched

People tend to talk about Taylor Swift's style choices in terms of eras: her high-fashion, gothic-like looks from "Reputation;" her super feminine, fit-and-flares that came with the "Red" album; the colorful, rainbow ensembles we now associate with "Lover."

People tend to talk about Taylor Swift's style choices in terms of eras: her high-fashion, gothic-like looks from "Reputation;" her super feminine, fit-and-flares that came with the "Red" album; the colorful, rainbow ensembles we now associate with "Lover." A small description of where the singer was, musically and romantically, and we can instantly picture what she was wearing. Through it all, however, Swift's commitment to cat fashion has remained consistent.

As Swifties well know, the singer is a proud cat lady. She has three fur babies of her own — Olivia Benson, Meredith Grey, and Benjamin Button — who she often speaks about in interviews or posts about on social media. Heck, Swift even had a role in the movie Cats! So, it's really no surprise that, throughout her career, she's also enjoyed cat fashion, rocking images of the animal on bags, shoes, shirts, and more. Even as her aesthetic shifts and she adopts a sparklier, '70s-inspired vibe for her "Midnights" era, Swift's love of cat fashion continues.

So, it's time to give our girl (and her longtime stylist Joseph Cassell) some credit, applauding her passion for cat pieces and highlighting a few of our favorites.

We're well into the "Midnights" era now, but Swift hasn't abandoned her cute cat gear. While announcing her tracklist on TikTok, the singer wore a Linda Lori Vintage T-shirt with a white cat graphic. Earlier in the year, she was also spotted in a Stella McCartney cat sweater.

Sometimes the perfect summer look includes denim shorts and a T-shirt. And if that T-shirt includes a cat print? Even better.

Did we just time travel? This graphic cat tee is very kindergartener-in-the-'90s, and, to be honest, we're not mad about it.
