Mariska Hargitay Names Her New Kitty After a Taylor Swift Song: ‘Karma Is a Cat…’

Remember how one of Taylor Swift‘s cats is named after Mariska Hargitay‘s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit character? In a truly full circle moment, the SVU star has now shared that she recently got her own pet feline, and she named it after a song by — you guessed it — Taylor Swift!

Sharing a photo of an adorable blue-eyed Siamese kitty on Instagram, Hargitay tagged the 33-year-old “Anti-Hero” singer and wrote, “Karma is a Cat @taylorswift Meet Karma. My Cat.🐱 #MeAndKarmaVibeLikeThat #AndIKeepMySideOfMyPawClean #KarmaIsACat.”

The clever name serves as a nod to Swift’s Midnights single, on which the pop star compares the concept of karma to a cat “purring in my lap ’cause it loves me.” In May, Swift revealed a remixed version of “Karma” featuring Ice Spice, propelling the track to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Hargitay and Swift have been friends for years, beginning with the 12-time Grammy winner naming her second adopted cat “Detective Olivia Benson” after the 59-year-old actress’ leading lady in SVU. Later, Hargitay appeared alongside Ellen Pompeo — whose Grey’s Anatomy character Meredith Grey inspired the name of Swift’s first cat — in the musician’s “Bad Blood” music video in 2015. In June of that year, Hargitay walked the catwalk (no pun intended) as a guest on Swift’s 1989 World Tour.

And while Swift is a cat mom to a total of three fur babies as of 2023 — having welcomed Benjamin Button to the family in 2019 after meeting him on the set of “Me!” — Olivia Benson is reportedly the richest of her feline siblings. Earlier this year, All About Cats estimated that the white Scottish fold was the third-richest celebrity pet in the world, following behind a German shepherd named Gunther VI, worth an estimated $500 million, and an Instagram-famous cat named Nala, worth a reported $100 million.
