When asked why Ballerini decided to pose with a photo of one of Swift’s cats (whom we know and love as Olivia Benson) she replied:

“I am allergic, highly. They’re just there in the house, regardless of whether you’re allergic or not. I have this goal where I want every animal to like me, like I’m Snow White or something. So I had to make the cat like me, I don’t know if it happened or not. She was better with me at the end.”
