If you thought Taylor Swift’s involvement in the Cats movie would be limited to be transforming herself into some kind of cat-like monster, then you must not know just how much Taylor Swift cares about cat-related things! According to a story from Variety, Swift was so hyped for her role in the movie that she and original Cats creator/composer Andrew Lloyd Webber “spontaneously” wrote a song together for the film while Swift was rehearsing. Weirdly, though, the song won’t actually be sung by Swift in the movie—though she does sing in Cats.
Titled “Beautiful Ghosts,” it comes at a “narrative moment in the film” (love to see narrative moments in films) and will be performed by Francesca Hayward. Swift’s character, who is apparently named Bombalurina, will sing “Macavity The Mystery Cat” in the film and then regular human Swift will sing her own version of “Beautiful Ghosts” over the credits.
The origin of this song came when film director Tom Hooper and writer Lee Hall decided to expand on the character that Hayward plays for the film, but in doing so they realized she didn’t have her own song. So, Lloyd Webber started writing a new tune about weird cats and the spaceship they worship, at which point Taylor Swift came in, offered to write some lyrics for it, and then ended up working on the music part of it as well.

Taylor Swift lost out on the chance to appear in director Tom Hooper’s Les Miserables film after auditioning for a role. The Lover hitmaker lost the part of Eponine to stage star Samantha Barks in the Oscar-winning 2012 movie, but insists she never expected to land the big gig. “I didn’t get it, but it was such an amazing experience just doing the screen test, and I was obviously like, ‘I’m not going to get this,’” Swift says on the inaugural episode of Zane Lowe’s New Music Daily radio show. “Because the other girl was amazing and was on the West End. Samantha Barks, she’s incredible and she fully killed the role and was amazing. I was watching it being like, ‘This is incredible.’” http://instagram.com/p/BwvD0AsDuCi Taylor has since been granted the opportunity to work with Hooper after landing the role of Bombalurina in his latest stage musical adaptation, Cats. The part is a dream come true for the feline-friendly singer, who has a famous troupe of cats at home and even applied to trademark the names of her furry friends Meredith, Olivia, and Benjamin Swift earlier this year. http://instagram.com/p/B4BRuUlBn9I “I started out doing musical theatre as a kid,” she explains. “It’s what made me fall in love with performing as a medium. And so basically when I was approached this time (for Cats), it was a straight-up offer. And I love kitty cats and the situation just kept getting more interesting because I accepted the role. They show us this demo of this digital fur that they’re adding to us, and I was like, ‘Yes.’”
