Taylor Swift is on the “Toy Story 5” soundtrack!
She announced the news on Instagram, writing, "It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠.”
Swift continued, "You knew it! My new original song 'I Knew It, I Knew You' for Disney and @pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th.”
"I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first 'Toy Story’ movie,” she went on. "I fell instantly in love with 'Toy Story 5' when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?”
According to a press release the song was "written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff."
What can fans expect? The press release adds, "Inspired by the rootin’ tootin’ cowgirl Jessie‘s ongoing journey in 'Toy Story 5' that began back in 'Toy Story 2,' 'I Knew It, I Knew You' also marks a return to Swift’s country roots, blending styles that have defined her record-breaking career as a songwriter and artist."
The film's director and screenwriter Andrew Stanton said Taylor's "connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable."
Stanton continued, "The song is so deeply connected to 'Toy Story.' So much so that on first listen, it instantly felt like it had always belonged there, like a long-lost family member. It was kismet."
