She gave us so many signs<\/a>. For weeks, the early advertising for Disney\u2019s upcoming fifth Toy Story<\/em> movie has hinted<\/a> at a Taylor Swift song on the soundtrack (or maybe some other involvement from the superstar), with \u201cTS\u201d billboards with 13 puffy white clouds popping up around the country.<\/p>\n

On June 1 Swift\u2019s website posted a countdown featuring a short animation of cowgirl Jessie, and by midday, we had our answer: Yup, she\u2019s going for that best original song slot once again!<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a *Toy* Story \ud83e\udd20 You knew it! My new original song \u2018I Knew It, I Knew You\u2019 for Disney and @pixar\u2019s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th,\u201d Swift shared on Instagram<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I\u2019ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story<\/em> movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5<\/em> 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?\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a huge surprise, given Swift\u2019s history with Disney (her Eras Tour movies and documentary series<\/a> live on the Disney Plus platform) and Toy Story<\/em>\u2019s legacy. Unlike other Disney-Pixar franchises, it\u2019s not a musical, but there\u2019s a tradition of song-based storytelling, starting with Randy Newman\u2019s \u201cYou\u2019ve Got a Friend in Me\u201d and continuing with the Newman-Sarah McLachlan collaboration \u201cWhen She Loved Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

At this point, we still don\u2019t know what Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201ctake\u201d on Toy Story<\/em> will be\u2014is Jessie an Easter egg, or just the female face of the franchise? She and her big red hat are prominently featured in all three versions of the album artwork, so we\u2019re betting she\u2019s not incidental to the song. But we\u2019ll have to wait and listen on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
