2. Cats
Taylor Swift is well-known for her love of cats. With three feline companions of her own, the pop star is a proud cat mom and doesn’t shy away from publicly expressing her love for them. No wonder she starred in the movie based on the 1982 Broadway musical. She plays the role of Bombalurina in this 2019 film. The story revolves around how an abandoned cat discovers a new life after stumbling into the world of the Jellicles.
3. The Giver

After he becomes the keeper of memories for his community, he makes a surprising decision that can change the community’s motive forever.
4. All Too Well: The Short Film
The movie, written and directed by Taylor Swift, shows the pop icon at the end, taking over from Sadie Sink, who acted as her younger self. The short film shows how a young man and woman fall in love but slowly drift apart when they encounter problems in their relationship.
5. The Lorax
This 2012 American animated musical fantasy comedy film was a box-office success. Taylor Swift voiced the part of the young and enthusiastic Audrey in the movie. The animated story is about a 12-year-old boy looking to impress Audrey. However, he must first know the story of Lorax, a charming creature, to impress the lady of his dreams.
6. Amsterdam
Taylor Swift portrays Liz Meekins in this 2022 movie. Although her role was short, she played an important part in the film. It follows three friends who witness a murder but somehow become suspects. These friends then come together to uncover one of the most outrageous plots in American history to clear their names.
7. New Girl
While not a movie, we thought this sitcom deserved a mention. Taylor Swift’s cameo appearance in the finale of the Fox hit “New Girl” as Elaine changed the course of the show. She shows up in the season 2 episode, “Elaine’s Big Day,” during the wedding of Cece and Shivrang as the latter’s ex-girlfriend.
At the altar, Shivrang confesses his feelings for Elaine, leading to the wedding being called off and Shivrang leaving with Elaine. You must catch this episode if you are a Swiftie because Taylor Swift has her “Speak Now” moment. The scene was quite iconic, in our opinion!
Apart from these movies, Taylor Swift even appeared for a brief moment in “Hannah Montana: The Movie” and “CSI.” So, Swifties, if you have left out any of her movies, now is the time to watch them (or give them a re-watch if you have seen these already).
