Taylor Swift has officially confirmed her involvement in the upcoming animated feature Toy Story 5, putting an end to weeks of intense fan speculation. The singer announced that her brand-new original song for the film, titled "I Knew It, I Knew You", will be released on June 5, just ahead of the movie's theatrical debut.
A Long-Standing Love for the Toy Story Franchise
In a statement released on social media, Swift expressed her deep admiration for the beloved characters, noting that she watched the first Toy Story film as a child and has been a fan ever since. The collaboration with producer Jack Antonoff, a frequent musical partner, has generated considerable excitement among fans of both the singer and the franchise.
Cryptic Clues Spark Fan Theories
Speculation about Swift's involvement had been fuelled by a series of cryptic billboards that appeared in multiple cities. The billboards featured the letters "TS" alongside 13 clouds — a number famously associated with Swift, who considers it her lucky number. Fans quickly connected the dots, leading to widespread anticipation for the announcement.
Toy Story 5 is scheduled to premiere in cinemas on June 19. The film will see the return of original voice actors, including Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack as Jessie. The addition of Swift's music marks another milestone in the franchise's legacy of memorable soundtracks.
