Mariska Hargitay’s family has a lot of love forTaylor Swift.
On Thursday, the actress appeared onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonand revealed what her husband,Peter Hermann, 56,did to celebrate her 60th birthday on Jan. 23.
Hargitay recalled how Hermann “threw me a surprise party that was so amazing,” admitting she usually isn’t a fan of surprises.
“He just outdid himself, it was insane. He threw me a party and it was so magical and spectacular. The highlight was each one of my children sang to me,” theLaw & Order: SVUstar said. “It was so crazy.”
Hargitay’s 12-year-old daughter Amaya then sang Swift’s “Long Live” for her mom’s special day.
“It was so nuts. Here’s the thing, I didn’t know about it. My kids don’t sing. They’ve never sang in public, so I had no idea. So this was such a surprise,” Hargitay shared.
“One of the other highlights, I turned around andIce-Tis standing on the table [rocking out] and then he was heard saying ‘I toured with Ozzy and that kid sounds good.’ "
The actress added, “You can’t get a better endorsement.”

“It was such a sweet honor and I think she lovedSVUand I think she lovedGrey’s Anatomy,” Hargitay said. “So she named one after me and one afterEllen Pompeo.”
“But then, here’s what’s even cooler. Then you got a new addition to the family you got a cat,” Fallon continued. “You got a siamese cat and the cat’s name [is] Karma,” he added as he held upa photo of the pet, whowas named after the song of the same namefrom Swift’sMidnightsalbum.
“There was no other name for this cat, " Hargitay insisted. “And she’s such a Karma. She’s so perfect and aptly named and it’s just right.”
