Taylor Swift Mariska Hargitay Bond Cat Connection Beyond

Taylor Swift and Mariska Hargitay are the purr-fect pair, with a friendship that started with a cat connection.

Taylor Swift and Mariska Hargitay's friendship began with a mutual love of cats, and more than a decade later, they remain the epitome of a perfect pair.

Hargitay revealed to Us Weekly in October 2014 that she had gifted Swift an engraved collar for her cat after learning that Swift had named the cat after Hargitay's character on SVU. Swift responded to Hargitay's kitten announcement in December 2023 with a comment expressing her excitement, showing that their bond had come full circle.

The duo has shared many memorable moments throughout their friendship. Hargitay gifted Swift's cat Olivia Benson with a custom collar, and they spent time together at a concert in New York City. Hargitay also made a surprise appearance during Swift's 1989 tour in Philadelphia, walking the catwalk alongside the singer to a roaring crowd.

The two have also supported each other in their respective careers. Hargitay appeared in Swift's "Bad Blood" music video, and Swift attended Hargitay's 60th birthday party in spirit, with Hargitay's daughter singing a Swift song at the celebration.

Their friendship has also extended beyond their shared love of cats and music. Hargitay has spoken about her admiration for Swift's talent, courage, and wisdom, and Swift has expressed her gratitude for Hargitay's support and friendship.

Their bond continues to grow, with Hargitay teasing that her SVU character, Olivia Benson, might be in her "Lover" era going into the show's 25th season. She also shared that she and her children have a special connection to Swift's music, particularly the song "Invisible String" from Swift's "Folklore" album.

Their friendship is a shining example of the power of strong female connections and the joy that comes from supporting and celebrating each other. Swift and Hargitay's friendship is a testament to the enduring strength of meaningful relationships, built on shared interests, mutual support, and genuine admiration.
