Taylor Swift's obsession with cats continues!

The "Shake It Off" singer stepped out of her New York City apartment Tuesday with what could be the cutest accessory ever.

Wearing a white blouse, striped skirt and black heels, the 24-year-old was all smiles as she held Olivia Benson in her arms.

For those wondering, we can confirm the new cat really is named after Mariska Hargitay's beloved Law & Order: SVU character.

When Hargitay heard about the news, she couldn't help but fall in love.

"Taylor Swift this came in the mail," she wrote on Instagram while posing in a cat collar, before adding:

"#WrongAddress #GotThisByCatccident #DontHaveACatniption #Collared #GonnaWearItAnyway #CatsOuttaTheBag #MeowliviaBenson #ScratchThat #PurrrfectName #TaylorMade #3MonthsLater #ALittleLateToThePawty #ThisCollarNeedsACat #PawAndOrder #OliviaBensonPetDetective."

What a great sense of humor! 

Turns out, having the songstress name a cat after your character is a true honor.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Swift admitted that she prefers to name her pets after "strong, complex, independent women."

Makes perfect sense as T.Swift's other feline friend, Meredith, is named after Grey's Anatomy character Meredith Grey.

Let's hear it for the strong, cute kitties!
