Every year on April 11, the United States observes National Pet Day. And in addition to the millions of people with furry friends to celebrate, countless A-list musicians also have dogs, cats and other animals to honor on the occasion.
And much like their famous owners, a lot of those celebrity pets have fanbases of their own. Taylor Swift’s three cats — Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button — for instance, are all beloved by the pop superstar’s millions of Swifties, and have each appeared in their mom’s various commercials, music videos and photo shoots.
Ariana Grande fans are also very familiar with the star’s rescue dogs, from Toulouse — who once appeared alongside the Wicked star on the cover of Vogue and travels all over the world with her — to Myron, whom she adopted from ex-boyfriend Mac Miller after his death in 2018, as well as Grande’s gorgeous, cleverly named pig, Piggy Smallz (who, like many of the animals mentioned in this story, has her own Instagram page).
But those pop stars are only two of the many proud pet owners in the music world. Country icons such as Jelly Roll and Miranda Lambert also share their properties with a litany of pets, with the “Son of a Sinner” singer welcoming three cows and a donkey in 2025, and the Pistol Annies star long providing a home to numerous dogs, cats and horses while running MuttNation, a nonprofit she founded in 2009 to support the adoptions of shelter pets. And in the world of K-pop, BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ is enamored with her doggy son, Hank, while V of BTS’ Pomeranian, Yeontan — who passed away in December 2024 — is an ARMY fixture and stars on much of the singer’s solo music artwork.
And while every musician’s pet is absolutely purrfect, Billboard wants to know which ones are your personal favorite. Vote for the celebrity furbabies you love most below (and check out our staff’s own collection of animals here)!
