Looking purrfect! Taylor Swift cuts classy figure in mini skirt and long socks as she  takes pet cat Olivia out for New York stroll

She is a famous cat lover, with pets Olivia and Meredith happily residing in her multi million dollar New York loft apartment.

And it seems where Taylor Swift goes, her kittens follow.

The 24-year-old singer took one of her adorable bundles of fur out with her in Manhattan on Tuesday, clutching it under one arm as she left her building.

Despite many cats unaccustomed to being accompanied outdoors with their owners, Olivia Benson (named after the character on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) seemed rather content.

Taylor looked sophisticated in a white long sleeved top and black and white checked mini skirt, teamed with over-the-knee maroon socks and black chunky heeled shoes.

Her blonde hair was worn in a swept over updo, while a olive green satchel style bag and cat's eye black eyeliner completed the look.

Adorable Olivia was the lucky pet accompanying her owner on the outing - Meredith - named after Grey's Anatomy's Meredith Grey - was nowhere to be seen.

The star made several references to her cats during a recent interview with Rolling Stone, revealing that they were both named after 'Strong, complex, independent women,' adding: 'That's the theme.'

She also joked about owning two cats and her single status - she claims to not have dated anybody for a year.

'It's not bad that I'm not hopelessly in love with someone,' Taylor told the magazine. 'It's not a tragedy, and it's not me giving up and being a spinster. Although I did get another cat.

'I asked around: I was like, "Does two cats count as cats?" she added. 'But then I thought, what imaginary guy's perspective am I thinking about this from? Someone is going to think I'm undateable for a lot of reasons before they think I'm undateable because I have two cats.'
