Taylor Swift and Her Cat Olivia Return to ‘The Office’ for ‘Eras Tour’
Taylor Swift is ready to kick off the final leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour — with the assistance of a purr-fect feline companion.
“Back in the office… 😎,” Swift, 34, captioned an Instagram video of herself walking into Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Friday, October 18. She added the “MiamiTsTheErasTour” hashtag to the upload.
In the video, Swift sported a mustard-colored Ralph Lauren crew neck and light-wash jeans while strutting into the floor section of the venue. As the camera panned around, Swift was shown carrying and petting her cat Olivia Benson. The clip was set to GloRilla and Sexyy Red’s “WHATCU KNO ABOUT ME.”
Friday marks the first show of the pop star’s next North American run of the Eras Tour, which will wrap for good in December. (In addition to Miami, Swift will take the stage in Indianapolis, New Orleans, Vancouver and Toronto this fall.)
“People have been like, ‘How are you going to celebrate the 100th show?’” Swift said during her concert in Liverpool, England, in June. “The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December. Like, that’s it.”
She added, “I think that this tour has really become my entire life. It’s taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don’t know what they were anymore. All I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mash-ups and think about what you might want to hear.”
Swift kicked off her Eras shows in the United States in March 2023 before traveling to South America, Australia, Asia and Europe. The European leg wrapped in August with eight shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.
While taking a break from her tour, Swift soaked up quality time with boyfriend Travis Kelce. (Kelce, 35, is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and is currently in the middle of the NFL season.)
“She’s looking forward to taking a break and relaxing. She’s exhausted,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in September, with a second insider adding that Swift’s “plan for 2025” is to slow down. The insider added, “Taylor’s really eager to start the next chapter with Travis.”
Swift attended a handful of Kelce’s Chiefs games in September and October and spent time with him in New York during his team’s recent bye week. Wherever she is in the world, her cats are presumably not far away.
Swift has long been a cat lover, owning pets Olivia Benson, Meredith Grey and Benjamin Button. The kittens are all named after the popular fictional characters.
“I have cats. I’m obsessed with them,” Swift previously told TIME in April 2016. “They’re just a real joy to live with. … They’re very dignified. They’re independent. They’re very capable of dealing with their own life.”
