On December 6, Taylor Swift caused a storm on social networks with a series of photos in TIME magazine. She is the first artist in the century to be honored by the prestigious TIME magazine as “Person of the Year” – Person of the Year – for her significant contributions.
“Person of the Year” is one of the biggest titles, voted annually by TIME magazine. Overcoming strong candidates such as former President Donald Trump’s prosecutor, King Charles III…, the female singer was honored by TIME as Person of the Year.
In the photos published in TIME magazine, the owner of the hit “Lover” still shows off her beautiful figure and the most brilliant star charisma. The magazine photo series quickly went viral on social networking sites. In it, netizens could not help but notice the appearance of another special character. That is the female artist’s blue-eyed pet cat named Benjamin Button (4 years old).
Taylor Swift chose to take a photo with her beloved cat when she was named Person of the Year. And the animal also seems to be extremely proud of its owner’s achievements, its charisma in taking photos makes many people jealous. In particular, Benjamin Button’s incredibly sparkling blue eyes can captivate anyone who looks at him.
According to Daily Mail, the pop superstar insisted on bringing the cat to the photo shoot after hearing the news of receiving the title of Person of the Year.
Taylor Swift joked in an interaction on social network X:
“- TIME Magazine: We’d like to name you Person of the Year.
– Me: Can I bring my cat?”.
It is known that in addition to Benjamin Button appearing in this magazine photo, the female singer also has two other pet cats, Meredith Gray and Olivia Benson, who have appeared in music videos and advertisements. Each cat has an estimated value of up to 100 million USD.
The “incredible” value of these cats was revealed earlier this year in a report from AllAboutCat.com. The website has calculated the total earning potential through Instagram accounts. The report determines the potential earnings per post and then multiplies it by the average number of likes.
In April 2020, cat Olivia Benson appeared on Taylor Swift’s Instagram and quickly garnered more than 2 million likes.
In a January report earlier this year, Olivia Benson was estimated to have a net worth of $97 million, ranking third on the list of the world’s richest cats. That number was determined before Taylor Swift embarked on her epic 66-date Eras Tour world tour.
The website does not provide information about the value of the remaining two cats, but they are no strangers to social networks. Surely, Benjamin Button’s value will skyrocket when he appears with Swift on the cover of Time magazine. In the photo, the female singer is wearing a black bodysuit while posing with blue-eyed Benjamin Button.
She first met Benjamin Button on the set of the music video “Me!”, which also featured Meredith Gray and Olivia Benson. She fell in love and brought the cat home after the photo shoot and named it after the fictional character Benjamin Button in the 2008 movie.
A few days later, the 12-time Grammy Award-winning singer introduced Benjamin Button on Instagram with a photo and the caption: “And then there were 3 members.”
