Taylor Swift Shows Off Her Dance Moves in New 'Cats' Teaser

The magic of Cats is coming to the big screen -- and the cast couldn't be more excited to show off their feline footwork! "If you told me I was going to get to be a cat, for work? Swift gushed of her role of Bombalurina in the upcoming Rob Marshall-directed film. However, Corden says, the crazy concept of Cats (and the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical it's based on) is where the magic comes from.

The new "Cats" trailer features "digital fur technology" and it's safe to say people are freaked out https://t.co/Bv2GiqJ2hT pic.twitter.com/SKJVDyAN4n CNN International (@cnni) July 19, 2019Some were perplexed by the specifics of the cats' anatomy: why the human/cat hybrids had breasts, for instance, or where exactly their tails protruded from. The trailer raised another perturbing question: In a world where cats have human faces and loosely human physiques, where do actual humans, owners of the colossal beds and sofas and chandeliers the cats play on, fit in?
