Taylor Swift can now tick another thing off her list of accomplishments.

Universal Pictures just released the trailer for "Cats" and the "You Need to Calm Down" singer is seen as Bombalurina for the very first time.

Sharing the two minute clip on social media, Swift says this is a dream come true.

"I am a cat now and somehow that was everything," she wrote.

In the clip, Swift can be seen lounging around and being her character's mischievous self while pouring out a sparkly can of cat nip.

Swift's character is known for her frisky behavior, often flirting with many toms, and plays a large part in the Broadway musical.

Hudson is seen heavily in the clip because her character is the main cat.

Grizabella is an old and decrepit cat, who sings the most known melody of the musical version, "Memory."

Although, Hudson's Grizabella costume doesn't make her as "old" as she's portrayed on broadway, it's definitely a transformation.
