Taylor Swift’s New ‘Cats’ Song “Beautiful Ghosts” Could Put Her In The Oscar Race

Musical theater fans everywhere, this is not a drill! Universal Pictures released a featurette video that confirms Taylor Swift and Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a song together for the new Cats movie, the adaptation of the original 1981 musical. Webber wrote the music for the Tony Award winning stage production and the rest was history. Until now, that is. Webber and Taylor Swift’s new Cats song “Beautiful Ghosts” could mean an Oscar for Best Original Song for T. Swift.

The new movie is set to release on Dec. 20 and TBH, the Cats preview has gotten a lot of frightened responses. I, myself, am a huge fan of musical theater.

So naturally, when I first heard that they were making a new Cats movie, I was very excited about it. I saw the cast list, and I was optimistic seeing such names as Dame Judy Dench and Sir Ian McKellen. But then I saw the trailer… and now I’m still not so sure about the weird mix of CGI fur and the actors.
