Lisa Kudrow resurrects 'Smelly Cat' with cat-obsessed Taylor Swift

LOS ANGELES — Documented cat lady Taylor Swift surprised a sold-out Staples Center crowd by bringing out Friends character Phoebe Buffay to perform “Smelly Cat.”

Lisa Kudrow resurrected the character and her trademark song with Swift during the last of five concerts in L.A., taking fans down memory lane straight to Central Perk.

“This singer has only ever played in coffee houses before,” Swift said, introducing the comedian in quite the clever way. “She never played in a big venue like this. Please make her feel welcome. You guys, her name is Phoebe Buffay.”

Phoebe — whose song is about a flatulence-prone cat — stopped the performance to jokingly dole out advice to Swift: “You have to really feel the lyrics, you know.”

Swift, always one to infuse her 1989 World Tour stops with special guests, also sang “Mirrors” with role model Justin Timberlake and “Good For You” with bestie Selena Gomez. Timberlake performed for the first time since becoming a dad in April.

Several video montages during Wednesday’s concert talked about cats (one video ended with “No cats were harmed in the making of this tour, just one pop star”).

“She’s the patron saint of cats,” Lena Dunham proclaimed in one video.
