The singer-songwriter debuts “Beautiful Ghosts,” her original song for the upcoming film version of the Broadway musical.

Taylor Swift has released her recording of the song she wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber. 

Webber said of working with Swift, “I think she’s written lyrics that are first, dramatic, and secondly, it’s almost as if she’s read T.S. Eliot herself. Maybe she had because she’s so thorough and professional.”

The song about feeling an outsider will be performed by the graceful white cat Victoria (Francesca Hayward) in the film. Swift will also appear in the film as Bombalurina. 

Cats will purr its way to theaters on December 20.
