She previously graced the cover of Time‘s Person of the Year in 2017 alongside other “silence breakers” who spoke out about sexual misconduct.

Speaking of Taylor, she has responded to Mariska Hargitay naming her cat after her song “Karma.” “Are you serious?!!!! Nothing has ever come more full circle,” Taylor commented on Mariska’s Instagram post. “LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!” She ended her caption with a cat with heart eyes emoji, naturally.
