<p id=”par-3_25″>“I love <em>CSI: Las Vegas</em> and <em>Grey’s Anatomy</em>,” she told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://web.archive.org/web/20220922202128/https://www.cmt.com/news/6idhwh/20-questions-with-taylor-swift” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>CMT</a> in 2007, adding, “My favorite movie is <em>Love Actually</em>.

<p id=”par-4_26″><em>Grey’s Anatomy</em> had such an impact on her that she hoped to end up with a romantic partner who reminded her of one of the characters. </p>
<p id=”par-5_24″>“I’ve come to the conclusion that the guy I end up with will remind me of the character Denny Duquette from Grey’s. Ha ha.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_18″>Duquette was a character who first appeared on the show’s second season. He died following a heart transplant. </p>

<p id=”par-7_34″>Ellen Pompeo, the star of <em>Grey’s Anatomy</em>, said there were several reasons why the show has been running for so many seasons. One, she joked, had to do with Swift’s love of the show. </p>
<p id=”par-8_28″>“[Creator] Shonda Rhimes is a great writer,” Pompeo told <a href=”https://people.com/ellen-pompeo-jokes-greys-anatomy-success-is-due-to-taylor-swift-exclusive-8636452″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>. “Second, Taylor Swift <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/theory-who-we-think-taylor-swift-favorite-cat-is.html/”>named her cat</a> after Meredith Grey! Just kidding. It is because of our awesome fans.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_13″>Camilla Luddington, another actor on the show, believed Swift <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/greys-anatomy-camilla-luddington-taylor-swift-deserves-guest-star-thoughts-evermore-jo-fan-theory.html/”>deserved a guest appearance</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-10_42″>“She loves the show,” she told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExdUr–_HFg” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>BuzzFeed</a> in December 2020. “I feel like she should just do one episode. I don’t know how it would happen, as a patient or she’s a doctor. But I think that she deserves to come on.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-she-is-currently-planning-a-future-with-travis-kelce”>She is currently planning a future with Travis Kelce</h2>
<p id=”par-11_53″>Years after saying she hoped for a partner like Denny Duquette, Swift is in a serious relationship with football player Travis Kelce. A source claimed Swift is <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swifts-perfectly-planned-future-wait-travis-kelce-prepares-next-season.html/”>planning her future</a> with the Chiefs’ tight end. Things are reportedly more complicated following his announcement that he would not retire after his most recent season.</p>
<p id=”par-12_48″>“The idea was Travis would win the Super Bowl and go out in a blaze of glory. So they’d have more time to be together and could plan a wedding and a baby,” a source told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://radaronline.com/p/taylor-swift-settle-down-kids-travis-kelce-hold-nfl-retirement/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>RadarOnline</a>. “Fans want them to start a family the sooner the better.” </p>
