Mariska Hargitay and Ellen Pompeo took a special photo for Taylor Swift on Sunday.
The 51-year-old Law & Order: SVU actress and 45-year-old Grey's Anatomy star posed for the picture at Super Bowl XLIX. Hargitay dedicated the snapshot to singer Taylor Swift, who named her cats after the actresses' characters, Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey.
"This one goes out to @TaylorSwift13 @taylorswift," she wrote. "#CatsOutOfTheBag #NFL #NationalFelineLeague #MeowMeow #CatsMeow."
Swift caught on the shout out and responded by tweeting the picture and, "OH. MY. GOD. therealmariskahargitay's photo." She also shared the snapshot on Instagram, and included the caption "Framing this."
Hargitay previously posed for a selfie with an "Olivia Benson" collar around her neck for Swift. The actress teased the singer in the caption, writing, "@taylorswift this came in the mail #WrongAddress #GotThisbyCatccident #DontHaveACatniption #Collared."
