Karma, the adorable feline, has found its way into the heart of Mariska Hargitay. Taylor Swift recently expressed her delight upon discovering that Hargitay named her new kitten after Swift’s hit song from 2022. Sharing a photo on Instagram, Hargitay introduced her furry companion, stating, “Karma is a Cat. @taylorswift Meet Karma. My Cat. #MeAndKarmaVibeLikeThat #AndIKeepMySideOfMyPawClean.” The Grammy winner couldn’t contain her excitement, responding with, “Are you serious?!!!! Nothing has ever come more full circle.

During an appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Hargitay reminisced about their first meeting, revealing, “I was so uncool. She [Swift] was like, ‘Hi, I like your show!’ And I [was] like, ‘Oh thanks!'” Unbeknownst to Hargitay, Swift was already a musical force to be reckoned with. Subsequent encounters exhibited Swift’s genuine kindness as she offered Hargitay a ride home from a concert in Queens, proving that her friendly demeanor extended beyond mere pleasantries.
The friendship between Swift and Hargitay reached an unprecedented level when the TV icon made a memorable cameo appearance in the music video for Swift’s chart-topping hit, “Bad Blood.” The visual extravaganza featured a star-studded lineup, which included Selena Gomez and Karlie Kloss. Hargitay expressed her excitement, sharing, “It’s just so awesome, and it makes me feel super badass.”
Hargitay’s dedication to their friendship was evident when she traveled to Nashville to attend one of Swift’s renowned Eras Tour stops. During the concert, she enthusiastically joined the crowd, capturing the moment by posting a video of herself singing along to Swift’s charismatic performances of “The Man” and “Shake It Off” on Instagram. Expressing her gratitude, Hargitay wrote, “Thank you magnificent and miraculous @taylorswift for your magic. It’s such a gift to be in your stunning, sparkly, powerful, and delicate wonderland. How do you make a stadium filled with 70,000 people feel like your cozy living room? You are pure magic!”
