“Come morning light”: Lyrics from Taylor Swift’s ‘Safe and Sound’ teased in a new promotional video
The Hunger Games franchise is stirring up excitement once again as they recently released a captivating teaser video for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes on their official Twitter account.
This teaser video cleverly incorporates the lyrics from Taylor Swift’s hauntingly beautiful track, “Safe and Sound,” which served as the original soundtrack for the first Hunger Games movie back in 2012:
“Come Morning Light.
Will they be Safe and Sound?”
What adds to the intrigue is the fact that the link embedded in the tweet leads to the official movie website, and the URL contains “tswiftfilmsurround.“
The tweet’s description reads, “Welcome back to The Hunger Games era. #TheHungerGames: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes – in theaters & IMAX November 17.“
This use of the term “era” begs the question: could it be a nod to Taylor Swift’s ongoing “Era Tour” currently playing in theaters? Interestingly, the trailer for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is being screened in cinemas ahead of Taylor Swift’s live concert.
All these tantalizing clues have sparked speculation: Is it possible that Taylor Swift is the artist behind the film’s soundtrack, as was hinted at some time ago? Could a piece from the soundtrack be the footage screened in theaters this weekend during the re-release of the first movie?
Furthermore, it has been announced that this content runs for 4 minutes and 50 seconds, making it an extended trailer for the film.
