She?s traded the serial dating scene for a few furry felines, and Taylor Swift has no shame about her ?crazy cat lady? tendencies.
While chatting on the ?Graham Norton Show,? the ?Shake It Off? singer showed some snapshots of her two pet cats.
However, when ?Monty Python? legend John Cleese saw the photo of Swift?s newest addition Olivia Benson, he seemed a bit concerned.
He asked, ?How did it have the accident?? Taylor fired back, ?What accident?? to which John inquired, ?Is that a proper cat? Is it damaged irrevocably? It?s the weirdest cat I?ve ever seen in my life.?

Adding to her already impressive list of accomplishments, Taylor Swift learned this afternoon (October 10) that she is Billboard?s 2014 Woman of the Year.
The 24-year-old is familiar with the prestigious honor as it?s the second time she?s been awarded the recognition.
Taylor is slated to receive the prize at the year?s Women in Music event, while is held at New York City?s Cipriani on Wall Street on December 12.
?As one of the most influential artists of her generation, Taylor Swift has seen incredible success on the Billboard charts," Janice Min, co-president and chief creative officer of Guggenheim Media?s Entertainment Group, told press.
"Over the course of her career, she?s charted 60 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 -- the most of any female artist since her debut in 2006. We are tremendously excited to be honoring her as the 2014 Billboard Woman of the Year for the second time."

With the massive success of ?Shake It Off,? Taylor Swift is ready to release the follow-up track from her forthcoming 1989 album.
The ?Love Story? singer posted a photo via Instagram earlier today, indicating that her next single will be ?Out of the Woods,? and it?s rumored to be about Harry Styles.
Swift previously told Rolling Stone about the ditty, stating, ?Every day was a struggle. Forget making plans for life- we were just trying to make it to next week.?
As for the lyrics, Swift (along with fun guitarist Jack Antonoff) penned, "Remember when you hit the brakes too soon/Twenty stitches in a hospital room."
Meanwhile, Antonoff told Rolling Stone, ?The thing I love about that song is parts of it reads like a diary and parts of it read like something 100,000 people should be screaming all together. It?s got these very big lines that everybody can relate to, which are given weight by her being really honest about personal things.?

Continuing her global promotional duties, Taylor Swift showed up at London?s Kiss FM Studios on Wednesday morning (October 8).
The ?Should?ve Said No? singer looked retro-fabulous in a pair of Pink heels with a black dress with white zigzag accents as she plugged her forthcoming album 1989.
Meanwhile, Taylor has supposedly been trying to get her best gal pal Selena Gomez to relocate from sunny SoCal to the Big Apple.
Gomez told press, "I'd love to spend time in New York. I've always said that I want to have a love affair and live there. Taylor has been begging me to live there. She's like, 'It's the best decision I've ever made.' Everyone always says I'm more New York when they meet me so maybe it would be good for me. I don't spend enough time there."

I can?t believe People Magazine gave Taylor Swift the cover this week! They just named her their Best Dressed Lady of the year, just a few weeks ago. But Swifty is still hustling for her new album, which I think will probably be another major hit for her. Her first single, ?Shake It Off,? is #1 on most charts and downloads. And for the People cover (which is an homage to a Mia Farrow cover), Swifty gave an exclusive interview.
Figuring out her life: “The last couple of years have been about defining life on my own terms. Being on my own, prioritizing my girlfriends, my family and my music above everything else and trying things I never thought I’d try. It’s really been a liberating and freeing time.”
Embracing the single life: “I made the decision to spend time on my own and figure out who I am. When you take the other person out of the scenario and you’re walking through life on your own, you end up figure out what you actually like without anyone else’s input. I’m not too worried about whether I meet someone. I’m going to be happy either way.”
All she needs is fur: “I’m not going to compromise the happiness and independence that I’ve found for just anybody. The idea of a date gives me a partial panic attack! It includes 40 paparazzi cameras shooting through windows at us, and that’s not relaxing or alluring for me. That makes me want to crawl under the couch and hide! But I’m fine! I have two cats. That’s all I need.?
What would it take for Swifty to find a boyfriend? ? It would take an astonishing human for me to even consider getting back into a relationship. It would take something really, really, really, really different?a kind of a one-in-a-million person for me to face all that. I don’t have any kid of idea who I’d want to be with, because I don’t have any pieces missing from my life right now. I’m not looking for anything to complete. I think that’s a nice place to be.”
Boyfriend-dissing? “Emotionally speaking, 1989 is not a heartbreak record. My music is derived from what’s happening in my personal life, and I haven’t had my heart broke. You’re not going to her, oh, like, ‘boyfriend dissing.’ When I’m deeply hurt, I usually respond by writing exactly how I feel in a song, but I just haven’t been devastated in the last couple of years.?

I?ll admit it, I?m kind of enjoying the new and improved Swifty. She needed to change it up from the stalker-eyed lovesick girl always getting her heart broken. The New Swifty is more at peace. As for having her heart broken recently? the most recent split was Harry Styles, as far as I know. Before that it was Conor Kennedy, but I think she did the dumping with Conor.
So, who should Swifty?s next boyfriend be? I?m at a loss, actually. Maybe we should introduce her to Prince Harry, just to see what happens.
Here are some pics of Swifty outside of BBC Radio 2 today.

Showing some love to her French fans, Taylor Swift stepped out for an appearance on ?C a Vous? in Paris on Tuesday morning (October 7).
The ?Shake It Off? songstress looked a bit chilly as she navigated her way through the City of Lights in a beige coat and strappy peep-toe heels.
Taylor is busy drumming up interest in her forthcoming album 1989, though it looks like the nasty Parisian fall weather has put a damper on her tourist activities.
On Monday (October 6) Swifty snapped a photo of the Eiffel Tower however she wasn?t able to actually ascend the famous landmark.
She posted the shot to Instagram along with the message, ?The Eiffel Tower outside my car window. Would've gotten out but it was raining and ew.?

Taylor Swift covers the new issue of FASHION Magazine (Canada). It?s a decent shoot, but that?s mostly because I love some good coat p0rn. There?s a chill in the air and I want that light grey-ish coat!! Anyway, Swifty is promoting her new album, 1989, and she?s still giving pretty decent interviews. Some highlights from the FASHION article:
On poetic justice: ?I feel like writing a song is sort of the last piece of the puzzle of solving whatever mystery I?m trying to solve emotionally. Things that kind of torture and haunt me a little bit are usually put to rest when I figure out a way to say it in a song. There?s a strange, eerie form of justice that happens when someone treats you terribly, you write a song about it, and that song ends up playing all over the world. You know at some point they?ve heard it in the grocery store, and they can?t escape.?
On being emotionally vulnerable: ?As a songwriter you have to open yourself up over and over again to pain and rejection ? and doing that at the stage my career is in, the stakes are pretty high. So if you get your heart broken, you get your heart broken on the cover of magazines that are all over the world. But I think that it?s important to continue to live your life, and not be guarded or standoffish or keep people at a distance.?
On her changing values: ?When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I was just fascinated by romance. I think now the most important thing to me is the opinions of the sisterhood of friends that I have now ? I think that my girlfriends have been what has shaped me more in the past year and a half than any other factor.?
On girlfriends versus sycophants: “Celebrities surround themselves with people who don’t know what they want and only have you to validate their lives?that’s not interesting to me. You should not be threatened by women who are pretty and charismatic and good at what they do?my girlfriends have shaped me more in the past year and a half than any other factor. I’ve never had more friends who I trust and can rely on, but there’s always a bit of your self-perception that’s frozen in junior high, when you trained yourself to not feel cool. You’ll never really feel like you’re part of the ?in’ crowd, but growing up means that matters to you less and less every day.”
Why she sings blind-item songs: ?You have to give emotion in order to evoke emotion in people. What I see cutting through are singers who give details and insights about their lives, because people feel appreciative that you?ve trusted them with that information. Being revealing can present itself in different ways?I?ve chosen to do it emotionally because that feels more natural to me.?
[From Fashion Magazine]
Do you believe her? I think she gives some seemingly reasonable and well-explained justifications for why she sings her blind-item songs and why she slammed so many of her exes musically. But here?s the part that I don?t really understand: ?there’s always a bit of your self-perception that’s frozen in junior high, when you trained yourself to not feel cool.? There?s a lot wrong with that statement, and she?s throwing it out there like it?s a universal experience. No, Taylor, many of us are not stuck in the junior high mindset of coolness rankings. And I really don?t get ?when you trained yourself to not feel cool.? As in? she?s always been cool but in junior high she trained herself to not feel cool and now she?s returning to her coolness? Good lord. This whole conversation about coolness is so middle school.
Also: “You should not be threatened by women who are pretty and charismatic and good at what they do.” Good advice, Swifty. Now let’s see you follow it. Lyrically and in real life.

Taylor Swift covers the November issue of Vogue UK. It?s a decent-to-great cover, I think. But I usually think Vogue UK has better covers than American Vogue. It helps that Vogue UK?s editors were like ?ENOUGH WITH THE BANGS? and just slicked back Swifty?s hair. That?s a major improvement in and of itself. As for the interview? Swifty talks about how she doesn?t need a boyfriend at this point in her life because of logistics and how she went through a lot of phases when she was younger. Some highlights:
She can?t have a boyfriend right now: “Dating or finding someone is the last thing on my mind, because I can’t picture how it could work with the way my life is. I don’t know how a guy is supposed to walk next to his girlfriend when there are 20 men with cameras, and he can’t protect his girlfriend because that’s the life she chose. I just don’t see how it could work, so I don’t think about it, and I kind of run from it when it presents itself.”
Men still pursue her: “They think that they would want to get to know me, and maybe date me, but I don’t think they want what comes with it.?
Her youthful phases: “The one thing I wish these girls that come to my shows knew is that they are exactly where I was when I was a teenager. I had no idea who I was! I was going through all these phases. I was trying on different outfits and all these different personalities, trying to figure out what category I fit into, and which clique I would be accepted in. But if you just keep doing ‘you’, and being who you are and doing what feels natural to you, maybe you won’t find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will.?
Her new album: “This time around I’ve chosen the brave and bold way of going about things. Because with this album I’ve completely changed the sound of everything I’ve done until now. So it’s interesting to not be afraid of that. You know, I don’t want to hurt people’s feelings, I don’t want to betray Nashville, whatever, but essentially it comes down to challenging yourself as an artist.”
[From Vogue UK via E! News]
Ooooh, did she just shade country music/Nashville as a whole? I think she did. Taylor Swift to Nashville: We are never, ever getting back together. Swifty to country music: I wanted to challenge myself as an artist, that?s why we?re over, it?s not you, it?s me. Here?s the thing: as a layman, I don?t think one form of music is any more or less challenging. Like, why would pop music be more challenging than country? I genuinely don?t understand.
