A Taylor Swift Quote Is Named Yale University's Most Notable of 2024 — and It's the One You're Thinking of

Taylor Swift’s quote has been named Yale University’s most outstanding quote of 2024 — and it’s perfect.

According to The Associated Press, the university released a ranking of notable things said over the year, and Swift, 34, topped the list with her “childless cat lady” quip.

The quote comes from Swift’s September Instagram post when she endorsed Kamala Harris for president, which featured a picture of her holding Benjamin, one of her cats. “With love and hope, Taylor Swift, the childless cat lady,” she captioned the caption.

The phrase “childless cat lady” comes from when Vice President-elect JD Vance compared Democrats to “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable about their lives and the choices they’ve made, so they want to do the rest and make the country miserable.”

A quote from a 2021 Fox News interview with then-host Tucker Carlson resurfaced while on the campaign trail with President-elect Donald Trump. The phrase was then used elsewhere in the world of pop culture, including jokes at the Emmy Awards by Selena Gomez and Candice Bergen.

“Note that the items on this list are not necessarily eloquent or admirable quotes, but are chosen because they are famous or important or particularly revealing of the spirit of our time,” Fred Shapiro, associate director of the Yale Law Library and curator of the list, said of the ranking, according to AP.

This superlative comes days after Swift was ranked as the top female artist on streamers Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. Billboard they also ranked her second on their list of the biggest pop stars of the 21st century, behind Beyoncé.

Swift is currently wrapping up her record-breaking Eras Tour, which began in March 2023. She will play her final show in Vancouver on Sunday, December 8.
