Taylor Swift continued her outreach program for African American fans by bringing out rapper Nelly (who has fallen off considerably) during her Speak Now concert in Houston. “We’ve got a special treat for you tonight, Houston. Nelly’s here!,” she said as the audience applauded politely for the “Tip Drill” rapper. Taylor and Nelly then performed her hit “Just a Dream.”

In previous shows, Taylor has surprised her country music fans with appearances by T.I, Usher and B.O.B.

Earlier this week, Taylor introduced the newest member of her family to her millions of followers on Twitter.

The 21-year-old country singer recently tweeted a photograph of her adorable adopted kitten.

“Hanging out with my new roommate, Meredith”, she wrote on her Twitter page late last week.

Her new pet is a rare breed of kitten known as the Scottish Fold, which is known for a gene mutation that makes its ear cartilage contain a fold.

The cats are usually quite expensive; the demand for the animals usually exceeds the supply of those available. There is currently a waiting list, and breeders charge as much as $1000 for healthy, vaccinated Scottish Fold kittens.
