During her appearance on _The Graham Norton Show_, Swift joked that her crazy cat lady phase was “a few years down the road,” but it seems it has arrivied early in the new clip. You can even hear a new track from the singer’s upcoming album, _1989,_ in the background. And unlike the [Jack Antonoff-assisted sonic departure “Out of the Woods,”](http://time.com/3506285/out-of-the-woods-taylor-swift-jack-antonoff/ "undefined") it’s the most straight-out-of-_Red_, traditionally-Taylor Swift-sounding track we’ve heard from the record so far. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3510109/taylor-swift-cats-diet-coke-commercial/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3510109/taylor-swift-cats-diet-coke-commercial/"},"headline":"Taylor Swift Becomes a Crazy Cat Lady in This Diet Coke Commercial","datePublished":"2014-10-15T14:30:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:48:03.276Z","description":"Featuring a new 1989 song","url":"https://time.com/3510109/taylor-swift-cats-diet-coke-commercial/","keywords":["celebrities","Music","Taylor Swift","1989 topic","shake it off"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt67fda652c7819ff9/698760dfa988ca397e6a9d70/taylor-swift-diet-coke.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt67fda652c7819ff9/698760dfa988ca397e6a9d70/taylor-swift-diet-coke.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"taylor-swift-diet-coke","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3510109/taylor-swift-cats-diet-coke-commercial/","name":"Taylor Swift Becomes a Crazy Cat Lady in This Diet Coke Commercial"}}]}] ```
