Is this a new celeb trend I spy? Never mind a designer handbag or toy dog, Taylor Swift was spotted out and about in New York with her cat, Olivia, under her arm.

Well, chihuahuas are sooooo last year.

Taylor Swift and Olivia

I'm not entirely sure using cats as clutches is going to catch on, but at least Olivia is distracting us from those knee high woollen socks Taylor is wearing. Just.

The 24-year-old was spotted with the moggy as she left her apartment in Manhattan on Wednesday.

The singer recently joked to Rolling Stone magazine that her single status was linked to her owning cats.

"It's not bad that I'm not hopelessly in love with someone," she told the mag. "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?' 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."

Ahh, to be Choupette. First, she's clearly one adorable white fluff ball. But she also had the good fortune to become the beloved (and amazingly spoiled) pet of the iconic Chanel designer. Karl Lagerfeld admitted in a magazine interview this year that Choupette eats at the table with him and has two maids who record her every move so that he doesn't miss a thing about her day.Choupette (credit:KarlLagerfeld, Twitter)

Actress Katherine Heigl readily admitted to USA Today that she's a "mad dog lady." And she can prove it: She has seven pups at home. (Shown is her dog Oscar with her daughter, Adalaide.) The animal activist's Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, named for a brother who died as a child, aims to "eliminate the needless suffering inflicted on animals."Adalaide (credit:katiemheigl, Instagram)

The country crooner owns nine dogs, but that hasn't stopped her from helping more! This year, she rescued one puppy from a ditch, then managed to find homes for six German Shorthaired Pointer puppies she found outside an Oklahoma day care center. Once the last pup was adopted, she tweeted, "If you weren't able to get one of these sweet angels..please visit your local shelter! Don't forget..love a shelter pet!"MuttNation Foundation (credit:MuttNation Foundation / Facebook)

Comedian and host of The View Sherri Shepherd knew what she wanted when she searched online for a rescue dog: a black Lab. "I specifically wanted a Lab because I had a Lab who passed away at 12," she told People. "And I wanted a black dog because there is something called Black Dog Syndrome. Black dogs are the last to be adopted [because] when you take a picture of them in their cages, they look menacing behind the bars." Now, 3-year-old Ashley -- who's going to be renamed Chloe but is currently known as "Ashley-Chloe" -- is happy at home in New York with Shepherd.Ashley-Chloe (credit:SherriEShepherd, Twitter)

Some dogs get to take part in their owners' nuptials, but how many get to walk the bride down the aisle for one of the year's most high-profile weddings? Beast, the shaggy Puli with more than 1 million Facebook fans, played that role for Priscilla Chan when she married longtime love and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. (credit:Getty Images)
Jimmy Fallon's Gary(06 of06)

The Late Night host's penchant for Golden Retrievers was already clear -- he'd become known for having them on the show as "puppy predictors," to weigh in on the outcomes of events including the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards. So, perhaps we could have predicted that he'd end up bringing home one of his own! By the time the presidential election came around, his Golden pup, Gary, was the one doing the predicting -- though, um, not correctly, as it turned out.Gary (credit:jimmyfallon, Instagram)
