In June of 2014, Taylor got a new cat she named Olivia Benson after the character portrayed by Mariska Hargitay on Law & Order: SVU, one of Taylor's favorite television shows.
She is the younger "sister" to Meredith Grey, and older "sister" to Benjamin Button.
Like Meredith, Olivia Benson is a Scottish fold cat.
