Taylor Swift Announces Toy Story 5 Song “I Knew It, I Knew You”

Taylor Swift is back. The singer just announced a new song called "I Knew It, I Knew You" for the upcoming Toy Story 5 movie. The track is written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, and it comes out this Friday (June 5).

"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," Swift wrote on Instagram. "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. 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?"

The press release says "I Knew It, I Knew You" has Swift returning to her country roots. Pre-sales are open on her website for three exclusive CD editions that have the new single as it appears in the film, a special acoustic version, and a special piano version.

Toy Story 5 director and screenwriter Andrew Stanton says, "It's incredible just how meaningful it's been having Taylor write and perform this song. Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable. 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."

In late April, a countdown appeared on Swift's website, the graphics mimicking Toy Story's classic aesthetic of blue skies and white clouds. Toy Story 5 hits theaters June 19, which happens to mark 20 years of Swift's debut single "Tim McGraw." But the countdown disappeared after 10 minutes and Pixar director Shivani Khosla shut down the rumors. Then the countdown reappeared, and Pixar started leaving a ton of TS x TS clues over the past week including billboards and social posts, and Travis Kelce even posted a teaser. Well, now we finally have answers.
