Overview
- Taylor Swift wrote and released an original Jessie‑perspective song called "I Knew It, I Knew You" specifically for Toy Story 5 and co-produced it with Jack Antonoff.
- Disney and Pixar kept Swift's involvement hidden from most cast and crew by showing a decoy version of the film, a practice disclosed by VFX supervisor Thomas Jordan at SXSW London.
- Swift issued multiple official versions of the track, including film, acoustic, and piano takes, and sold three exclusive CD editions through her website with alternate vocals and production.
- Streaming platforms reported record debuts for the song in its first day, with Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music citing platform‑specific first‑day or first‑24‑hour milestones.
- The collaboration continues a long Toy Story tradition of music-driven promotion and could raise the film's early attention and awards visibility while boosting box office interest ahead of its June release.
