Taylor Swift makes history with the first cat on the cover of Time Person of the Year

It seems Karma is a cat on the cover of Time magazine as Taylor Swift once again proves that her star power knows no bounds, gracing the cover of Time magazine's 2023 Person of the Year issue accompanied by none other than her feline confidant, Benjamin Button.

The 12-time Grammy winner took to social media to share the captivating cover.

Dressed in a noir-esque ensemble – a black long-sleeve bodysuit and opaque tights – Swift stands tall, with ‘Benjy’ draped casually around her neck, bringing new meaning to the term "catwalk."

In an Instagram caption that could only be crafted by Swift herself, she cheekily recounted the unconventional exchange with Time, quipping, “Can I bring my cat".

Swift's audacious move to feature Benjamin on the cover wasn't lost on her devoted Swifties fan base, who have unsurprisingly hailed the decision as nothing short of "iconic."

The feline-friendly gesture is in keeping with Swift's established reputation as a doting cat mom, with a fur family that includes the notable Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson.

Social media platforms lit up with admiration for Swift's commitment to showcasing her furry companions during significant career milestones.

While Benjy may bask in the limelight as a Time cover star, it's Olivia Benson who claims the title of the third-richest pet globally, boasting a staggering net worth of $97 million.

Photographer Inez van Lamsweerde, the creative genius behind the lens, drew inspiration from the '70s photographic gem "Cat People" by Bill Hayward.

The result is a portrait that encapsulates Swift's glamour, power, and a touch of defiance – a visual narrative of a woman confidently carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, or in this case, on her neck.

The story behind Benjy's adoption during the filming of the "Me!" music video adds a heartwarming layer to the narrative, showcasing Swift's air of compassion and spontaneity.

It's a tale that resonates with pet lovers and romantics alike, solidifying Swift's status as not just a musical maestro but also a delightful storyteller in the grand ballad of her own life.

In the ever-evolving symphony of Taylor Swift's career, her Benjy-toting Time magazine cover is a delightful crescendo, a vibrant blend of wit, charm, and feline allure that leaves us eagerly awaiting the next charming chapter in the Swift saga.
