Promise Kept

Today's song: I Know Places by Taylor Swift

So much build up on this one, I had best deliver.  The fact is that I just had too much trouble trying to write this one.  I would sit down to cover Taylor Swift and get overwhelmed.  It was daunting to write about Taylor.  I respect her both as an artist and as a person.  It is not possible to cover Taylor Swift in any sort of comprehensive manner.  No matter what I do it would feel inadequate.So instead I will cover a small aspect that has not been done to death, Taylor's love of cats.

Taylor Swift loves cats.  She isn't shy about it.




If you follow Taylor on Twitter, or Facebook, or Instagram then I am not telling you anything new.  Taylor regularly posts pics of her two cats, Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson.  Even if you don't follow all things Taylor, those names may sound familiar to you.  That is because they are the names of characters from the Law and Order franchise.  It seems that TSwift's love of Law and Order is reciprocated:

And being the fan girl she is, Taylor made sure her fans did not miss out on the mutual admiration society.




If you have known me for long you know I think the internet exists for the express purpose of sharing cat pics and vids.  Don't let the DARPA history lessons fool you.  Those tech pioneers may have told the old men at the Pentagon that the World Wide Web would provide a robust system to allow for communication in the event of Soviet attack, but they knew that it would really be used advance the interests of the feline hegemony.  Few use the medium for its true purpose better than our Heroine, Taylor.  Taylor regularly treats her fans, and the rest of the world, to pics and videos of her malkin companions.

Taylor also shares the mischief and mayhem brought to her life by Miss Meredith and Miss Olivia.

So while there are a great many reasons to admire Taylor Swift, her enormous talent, her business savvy, her great beauty, or even her sheer power, I choose to go with her love of God's finest creation.

Later

P.S.

If you abhor all things feline and need to be supplied with another reason to like Taylor, how about her generosity.  She could have received an exorbitant sum for the following pic and choose to give it to her fans for free.
