Hello, kitty! Taylor Swift introduces her adorable new feline friend

By LAURA SCHREFFLER

New feline friend: Taylor Swift has adopted a Scottish Fold kitten named Meredith

The cats are usually quite expensive; the demand for said animals usually exceeds the supply of those available.
Sorry, Selena Gomez, but Taylor Swift has found a new best friend.
The 21-year-old country singer recently tweeted a photograph of her adorable adopted kitten.
'Hanging out with my new roommate, Meredith', she wrote on her Twitter page late last week.
Her new pet is a rare breed of kitten known as the Scottish Fold, which is known for a gene mutation that makes its ear cartilage contain a fold.

Major award nominee: The 21-year-old has been nominated for five Country Music Awards this year

According to PlusPets.com, breeders can charge as much as $1,000 for healthy, vaccinated Scottish Fold kittens.
The website adds that the cats are in such demand that prospective owners are put on waiting lists or entered in lotteries in order to obtain one.
Meredith, it would seem, already has one very famous admirer.
'OH MY GOSH. Is this kitty for real!?!?' pop star Katy Perry wrote on the country starlet's page after viewing the photo Taylor had posted.
'Yes!' Taylor responded cheerfully, adding, 'And currently chasing her own tail. PS I miss you!'

Expensive kitty: Meredith is a Scottish Fold, a rare breed of cat that can cost up to $1,000

Her new pet isn't the only bright spot in the young singer's life: she was just nominated for a whopping five Country Music Awards, including the top honour of Entertainer of the Year.
'Mean', a poignant kiss-off to her critics, has also been nominated for Song of the Year.
'Getting a CMA nomination for 'Mean' was definitely a jumping-up-and-down moment for me, because this song is really close to my heart,' she told the Associated Press.
'I'm so thrilled it was nominated for Song of the Year because it's a song that I wrote on a really, really bad day, but it has produced so many happy days for me since.'
The CMA's will air live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on November 9.
Her nominations should serve as divine retribution for the fact the website Celebrity Jihad posted a photograph of a semi-nude woman who they claim is Taylor.

Forget a lap cat: Meredith easily fits on the country singer's knee

Her legal team is currently threatening to file a trademark-infringement lawsuit against the site, which features a picture of a curly-haired blonde with the caption 'Taylor Swift Topless Private Pic Leaked?'
Her lawyers have demanded that the photograph be taken down.
The site plans to retaliate against Swift and her team if they do take action.
They wrote recently: 'We here at Celebrity Jihad vow that there will be serious repercussions for Taylor Swift if she dares to follow through on her threat of a lawsuit against us.'

Taylor made tattoo: Miss Swift inks song lyrics down her arm

By JADE WATKINS

Fan: Taylor Swift stepped out with the lyrics to a Dixie Chicks song scrawled down her arm and her lucky '13' on her hand, as she visited a flea market in West Hollywood, yesterday

She regularly paint her lucky number 13 on her right hand, and now Taylor Swift is trying out another temporary tattoo.

The 21-year-old was spotted at the Fairfax flea market in West Hollywood, sporting scripture running all the way down her arm.

The design, which appeared to be scribbled in felt-tip pen, reads: 'Tell me everything I want to hear, like it was your favorite year'.


Ladies who lunch: Later in the day Taylor went and had lunch with a friend


The line is a lyric which comes from Grammy-award winning Country Music Group , The Dixie Chicks, and their 2008 single titled, 'Favorite Year.'

In the past, Taylor has named the group as being one of her musical influences, crediting the women for the impact they have had by 'stretching boundaries.'


Lucky: The singer has painted the number '13' on her right hand many times in the past, calling it her 'lucky' charm


The starlet wore her blonde tresses in a casual up-do, wore a slick of red-lipstick and slipped on a pair of over-sized shades.

She also had he lucky '13' painted on her right hand.

Taylor has sported the design many times in the past, calling it her 'lucky' charm.


Moving on? Taylor's outing also comes as her ex-Jake Gyllenhaal dined out with Rashida Jones at trendy LA eaterie Gratitude


‘I paint this on my hand before every show because 13 is my lucky number, for a lot of reasons. It’s really weird,’ she said.

Taylor explains: ‘I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album when gold in 13 weeks. My first #1 song had a 13-second intro.


Spending time: After they had finished eating, they took Jake's dog Atticus for a leisurely stroll, but were cautious not to put on a public display of affection


‘Every time I’ve won an award I’ve been seated in either the 13th seat, the 13th row, the 13th section or row M, which is the 13th letter.’

Taylor has also experimented with henna tattoos before.

She had a henna heart tattoo painted on her foot when she was just 18 years old, during a photo shoot for her first self-titled album.

She later made a pact that if the album went double platinum she would get a real one.


Fun in the sun: Recently, Taylor and her friends enjoyed a few peaceful days by the beach in South Carolina make the most of the sun, sea and sand


The album eventually went triple platinum, but the singer decided she didn't want to get it done because she didn't want to compromise her role model status.

Taylor's outing yesterday also comes as her ex-Jake Gyllenhaal had seemed to have swiftly moved on from her.

He was spotted enjoying a sunny Sunday afternoon with Tobey Maguire's ex-girlfriend.

Golden girl Taylor Swift glitters in a shimmering fringed dress and knee-high boots

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Going for gold: Taylor Swift kicked off her Speak Now world tour in Omaha, Nebraska tonight looking stunning in a gold fringed dress and knee high black boots


She is one of American music's shining lights, with her platinum-selling albums and a stash of awards to her name.

So it was perhaps fitting that 21-year-old Taylor Swift sported a striking golden fringed dress on the first date of her Speak Now world tour tonight.

The 21-year-old singer teamed her fringed mini dress with a pair of knee-high black boots as she kicked off her most elaborate tour yet in Omaha, Nebraska.

The star also returned to a past habit of writing on herself for live shows, this time seeming to scrawl a lyric along her arm in black pen.

Backed by a nine-piece band and eight dancers, the singer played for two hours, changing costume several times as she performed songs from hit albums Fearless and Speak Now.


Fun times: The 21-year-old singer looked like she was enjoying herself as she played a cherry red guitar and sung to the enthusiastic crowd


Earlier, she had told People.com how she helped plan the theatrical looking show, which includes pyrotechnics and a fake snowstorm.

'The tour is exactly how my imagination looks and I'm so excited that we get to have these entire scenes created on stage,' she said.

'I started out in theatre so you definitely see influences of that.'


Skin graffiti: Taylor wrote what looked like lyrics on her arms in black pen for the show


'We get to have such groovy, cool stuff happening,' she added to MTV about the stadium-based show. 'I've never had pyro before. I've never had aerialists before.

It's got this grand staircase. The stage in itself looks like an old-world theatre.

'I can't believe we get to play stadiums. I'm so excited about this tour. I want to live on that stage. I hope people leave the concert feeling like they know you better.'

The star also said she saw the tour as a 'thank you' to her fans, who made Speak Now one of the most successful albums of last year.


American sweetheart: Taylor revealed she has had a lot of input into the theatrical tour


'That's why I'm so blown away. That's why I can't wait to go out on tour and thank them personally,' she said.

And she certainly seemed to enjoy tonight's show, tweeting after her performance: 'Woah Omaha. That first show was SO much fun and I can't wait to see you again tomorrow!!'
