If you followed my ONTD exclusive Taylor Swift coverage earlier this year, you may remember a post that speculated that Swift wrote an original song for the upcoming Razzie-bait

nothing says "natural, spontaneous collaboration" like your publicist hovering out of focus in the background of your writing sessions LMAO

When I first read the screenplay, the first thing I said was, ‘We have to have a song for Victoria’, the song is now an incredibly important and central part of the whole film. - Andrew discussing the addition of 'Beautiful Ghosts' to the #CatsMovie, with lyrics by @taylorswift13 pic.twitter.com/ERQQkLLclc

[sandstorm]

I already want Into the Unknown to win sry

[bellwetherr]

man none of these best song choices pop for me

[ellie_andrews]

i kinda want her to win just bc everyone will freak out lmao

[marthasback]

well, the mere thought of her winning has brought me out of retirement...

[frenchmoodle]

her head will be too big to drag onto that stage

[trekkiepetrelli]

not that i hold the oscars now to anything substantial (especially after rami malek winning best actor for that monstrosity of a "biopic") now, if she actually won i'd be done with it completely lmao

[weighty_ghost]

every time i blissfully forget that Cats is a thing that's going to happen, you gotta remind me

that promo tour will be TORTUROUS

[marthasback]

it's literally already starting with this BTS for a song that hasn't even been released, with the complimentary Variety article listing all the awards it's up for LOL I wouldn't doubt the "best original song" oppourtunity was in her contract, you KNOW that the fact that her other soundtrack songs weren't eligible for Oscars was a major piss-off in her life
