Breaking News; Ellen Pompeo Jokes That Success of Grey’s Anatomy Is Due to Taylor Swift – and Her Cat!
Taylor Swift has made no secret of her love of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and even named one of her cats after Ellen Pompeo’s character, Meredith Grey
Grey’s Anatomy special edition issue, on newsstands now, the 54-year-old actress shares a few reasons why she thinks the show has remained on the air for 20 seasons — and counting.
“[Creator] Shonda Rhimes is a great writer. Second, Taylor Swift named her cat after Meredith Grey! Just kidding. It is because of our awesome fans,” says Pompeo.
The music superstar — who released her surprise double album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19 — has long been a fan of the series and tapped Pompeo to be in her star-studded “Bad Blood” music video in 2015.
“Her people called my people and were said, ‘Would you like to be in this video?’ And I was like, ‘Of course, that would be so fun. There’s an old lady section? I’m down,’” Pompeo recalled on Jimmy Kimmel Live the following year.
However, fans shouldn’t hold their breath on Pompeo meeting the feline named after her Grey’s Anatomy character.
