that’s true.

She always is, tbh.

[dracarys]

I think she may have space to do a movie this era though.

[BlondieLeigh]

Seems to.

[dracarys]

Her tour isn't as long as her last.

[BlondieLeigh]

Might be a good thing.

[dracarys]

I think so too, I do wonder whether she found her last tour quite overwhelming.

[paper rings]

maybe she did.

[BlondieLeigh]

Would make sense.

[paper rings]

that's true.

[dracarys]

That's why I was glad for her break.

[BlondieLeigh]

Probably good for her.

[dracarys]

I would imagine you'd need a bit of a break after a tour like that.

[BlondieLeigh]

Must do.

I've seen the Cats movie thing floating around . A part of me can't imagine Taylor in it but then it also works too... Is she a dancer? I know she was interested in musical theater as a child & depending on the role will depend on how demanding the dancing is but its definitely going to be a demanding role regardless of which part she plays as I imagine it'll be a part she can stand out in & not just a random ensemble cat. Of course who knows what the movie will do compared to the musical too . I've read filming will be November 12, 2018 to February 1, 2019 so time consuming for a while but that's possibly normal for movies

If she can do the dancing I kinda feel like she could make a good Rumpelteazer but its quite a bit of dancing & gymnastic ability just for the song about her. Then I'm pretty sure she's in a complicated dancing routine in one of the last songs of act 1 too... I imagine Taylor'll probably play Jemima or maybe Demeter or Bombalurina. I presume its more likely one of the 'kittens' like Jemima though & that's the only kitten role which has a major singing part & isn't more just in the background. There's also Victoria but that's a dancing role not a singing role so it'd be silly for Taylor to play her. Wish they'd reveal who is playing who

(forgive me, I love the musical so know a bit about it )



There's a behind the scenes video from the 'Babe' music video here. Annoyingly they never show or have Taylor talk. I found that very odd, especially since Brandon Routh (who played the husband) did talk. Why not have the song writer talk? Guess she wasn't there for those bits but they obviously all filmed together at some point since there's a scene with Taylor, Jennifer, & Brandon all in it together

On that page there's also an article. These are the Taylor-related bits:

“Babe,” both the song and the video, were a gift from BMLG labelmate Swift. Swift offered guest vocals on the track, and offered the idea for the treatment. “That was all Taylor,” Nettles says. “She was like, ‘I have an idea for the video,’ but her idea was this fully-formed video treatment,” Bush says. From there, Sugarland and Swift swapped emails and pictures, nailing down details for the shoot. Swift also suggested actor Brandon Routh, known for his role as Superman in Superman Returns, for the role of the cheating husband. *** [Jennifer Nettles loved] that dramatic climax when the mistress (played by Swift) gives a death stare to the hopeful housewife (Nettles) as they meet in the office suite. Swift and Nettles played off each other, live. “We filmed it together on purpose,” Nettles says. “We figured everyone would be like, ‘Oh, they shot this separately and never got to interact.’ Also, because of the nature of the treatment, it’s like, ‘When are the wife and the mistress going to have a chance to see each other? Thankfully the director came up with the solution for how to get us in the room at the same time for that big reveal moment. It’s a pretty powerful scene.” “Taylor was mentioning that she’s never done a video like this narrative where she gets to play this villainous character,” Nettles says. “With the look she gives me in the office, to display that kind of character I think was a lot of fun for her, too.”

Sounds like Taylor came in when she had time, shot her parts, then left & they had to make that one scene work when all the schedules matched up
