Beautiful Ghosts - From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats"

"Beautiful Ghosts" was written for the 2019 movie adaptation of the musical Cats. The song was co-written by Taylor Swift, who plays the flirtatious Bombalurina in the film, and the musical's composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.

The only new song that was written for the movie, "Beautiful Ghosts" was composed with protagonist Victoria the White Cat in mind. In the original musical, Victoria didn't get any musical solos because it's primarily a dancing role, but Lloyd Webber decided the puss was such a central character she needed her own song. Swift asked if she could write the lyrics, and the pair got together at Lloyd Webber's London residence and at the family estate in Sydmonton, Hampshire. "Once we got started, it got written pretty quickly,' he told The Daily Mail.

"Beautiful Ghosts" is sung twice in the film: Once by ballet star Francesca Hayward, who plays Victoria the White Cat, and again in a brief reprise by Dame Judi Dench, who portrays wise Old Deuteronomy. Swift's studio version plays over the end credits.
