Doctor's orders! Ellen Pompeo took on the persona of her Grey's Anatomy character Dr. Meredith Grey for a sweet and unexpected social media moment with Taylor Swift. 

The ABC actress, 45, reached out to Swift, 25, via Instagram this week, after the singer shared a photo of a deep cat scratch on her leg.

Swift, whose second cat is named Olivia Benson after Mariska Hargitay's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit character, had a bit of a fangirl moment with Pompeo last month. The actress posed for a photo with Hargitay, and the SVU star tweeted it at Swift, writing, "This one goes out to @TaylorSwift13 @taylorswift #CatsOutOfTheBag #NFL #NationalFelineLeague #MeowMeow #CatsMeow." 

Swift was ecstatic with the photo, responding simply, "OH. MY. GOD."
