Taylor Swift-inspired pet names have been on the rise ahead of the release of ‘Tortured Poets Oath’.
The names of these pets are created by Taylor.
Taylor Swift fans have been known to give their little ones nicknames inspired by the pop star — and there’s been a recent rise in this Swiftie tradition ahead of the release of her double album “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday.
Besides Taylor’s own name, her song and album names like Karma, Red and Midnight made the top 10, as well as Travis and Kelce, in honor of her Super Bowl-winning boyfriend, according to user data collected by pet insurance marketplace Pawlicy. advisor.
“I looked up Taylor-themed girls’ names and didn’t get anything I just liked, and then it hit me — ‘Poet’ would be perfect,” said Bridget Colbert, who received her Mini Australian Labradoodle on April 10.
The mother of four girls said the new addition to their family will help them cope with their inability to attend the singer’s current concert tour.
“Being able to afford to attend multiple Eras Tours is not an option, and the next best thing was a beautiful puppy,” Colbert, 40, who lives in Elizabeth City, N.C., told The Post.
Heather Argrave got a new kitten on April 14 and named her “Willow” after the lead single from Swift’s 2020 album “Evermore.”
The Prairieville, La., resident works as an emergency department nurse at a veterinary teaching hospital, and the short-haired calico was brought in because of the kindness of a stranger.
“We receive so-called ‘Good Samaritan’ animals. These are stray animals that people take the time to stop, pick them up and bring them to us for medical care,” said Argrave, 39.
“Willow came in covered in fleas and was tied up in a grocery bag and thrown away. I fell in love with her instantly. I named her “Willow” because she is one of my favorites [in Swift’s catalog]”.
She currently teaches lyrics to the namesake Willow, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 when it was released in December 2020.
“Every time we hug, I sing, ‘Head on the pillow, I feel you creeping in,’” Argrave explained.
“When I sing ‘Life’s a Willow,’ you’ll purr.”
