Diet Coke (2014)

The songwriter was joined by fury friends, including her cat Olivia Benson, in Diet Coke's 2014 "Kittens" commercial. Part of Diet Coke’s “Get A Taste” campaign, the ad gave Swifities at the time a "taste" of a track from the singer's then-upcoming album, 1989.

Diet Coke (2013)

Swift's first Diet Coke TV commercial featured her song "22." According to the Coca-Cola Company, the "Music that Moves" spot was "an evolution of the brand’s iconic Stay Extraordinary campaign" and centered on the singer's "unique approach to songwriting and the powerful impact her lyrics and music has on fans."

Macy's (2012)
