That βotherβ person influencing it was Andrew Lloyd Webber! π I do hear a lot of his style in the song- but agree it doesnβt really sound like the way she would do it.

2024-01-23 00:35:02 +0000 UTCI get what youβre saying about it not sounding as much like Taylor but to be fair she didnβt write it for herself OR by herself. She wrote it alongside Andrew Lloyd Webber and I really feel like you can hear a lot of his influence in the song. It was also written for another actress to sing as part of a musical so they had to write it with that actressβs strengths and weaknesses in mind as well as make it fit in with the overall themes/storyline of the musical. Definitely not my favourite of hers or of Andrew Lloyd Webberβs (or even close to it) but I do still think itβs a pretty good song for what it is. Also the English pronunciation I assume is due to Cats being set in London. Sounds weird coming from Taylor though.

2024-01-19 22:05:43 +0000 UTCThis was in 2019 so not that long ago and she co-wrote this song with Andrew Lloyd Weber for the film version for Francesca Hayward to perform in the film and this is the end credits version. There is definitely a difference when Taylor writes a song for herself to perform verses for someone else to perform with someone else. She performs βMacavityβ in the film and I think she did a fantastic job in an overly weird production with weird CGI and scale.

2024-01-19 16:51:55 +0000 UTCI enjoy the concept of the song but I think it's really clear that it's written for someone else to sing within the musical (Francesca Hayward plays Victoria in the movie and she sings the song) so Taylor has to tone down her own singing/writing to accommodate for the fact that Francesca is a dancer, not a professional singer I feel like if Taylor had been allowed to just write the song for herself she would have been able to really embrace the potential that it had, like what you were saying comparing it to Defying Gravity and She Used To Be Mine (I would also love for current Taylor to rerecord it or even just perform it as a surprise Eras Tour song just to see what she could do with it)

2024-01-19 16:50:24 +0000 UTCI am not super familiar with the style of Andrew Lloyd Webberβs music, but I have to wonder if some of what youβre hearing that doesnβt sound like Taylor is an effort for this song to gel with the rest of the Cats soundtrack (since this was written for the film version)β¦?

2024-01-19 16:39:53 +0000 UTCI really donβt like this song. Especially within the context of the movie.
