Taylor Swift releases music video for original song for 'Toy Story 5'

Swift’s country-tinged track was written from Jessie’s perspective, and the video uses Toy Story footage while streaming now on Spotify and Apple Music.

  • On Friday, Taylor Swift released 'I Knew It, I Knew You,' her original country song for the upcoming Disney and Pixar film Toy Story 5, marking a return to her musical roots.
  • Pixar VFX supervisor Thomas Jordan revealed the team created a 'decoy version' of the film without the song to prevent leaks, keeping the announcement secret from most staff until last week.
  • Swift co-wrote the track with collaborator Jack Antonoff, drawing inspiration from character Jessie's journey through the Toy Story franchise and her own childhood connection to the series.
  • An animated music video featuring Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie arrived on Spotify and Apple Music Friday, compiling footage from the Toy Story films alongside the new single.
  • Toy Story 5 opens in theaters on June 19, positioning the song as a potential Oscar contender for Best Original, following Swift's earlier contributions to films like Cats and Where the Crawdads Sing.
