Taylor Swift is aiming for her first Academy Award.
She collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber in writing a new song, “Beautiful Ghosts,” for the Cats movie. Webber composed the music for the original 1981 Broadway musical that’s adapted into a movie, which arrives around Christmas. Taylor Swift fans will want to sit through the credits. She sings a version of “Beautiful Ghosts” as the credits role.
Taylor tweeted on Thursday some background about the song, "'Beautiful Ghosts’ is performed by the extraordinary Francesca Hayward and reprised by Dame Judi Dench!!!!!”
Andrew Lloyd Webber complimented Taylor, “She's so thorough and professional. She’s written lyrics that are dramatic. Without this new song, the movie would hugely be the poorer.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
