Taylor Swift Announces She's Releasing A Single For 'Toy Story 5'

It's easy to say that the Eras Tour star is one of the biggest musicians in the world, and she's continuing, on top of all her other accomplishments, to create work for the film industry.

 

Though she's been taking a break from performing and releasing albums, spending more time with her future husband, planning their wedding, and more, Taylor recently pleased her extremely loyal and massive fanbase by announcing her latest project in an Instagram post.

 

This week, she revealed that she was about to put out a new song titled "I Knew It, I Knew You," which will have a notable place on the Toy Story 5 soundtrack. The movie will premiere on June 19th and marks the fifth film in the infamous franchise. However, Swifties are lucky, as they'll get to hear the song early on June 5th.

 

As she revealed in her post's caption, it is a sentimental moment for Taylor.

 

"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 wrote. "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?"

Fans React To Taylor's News On Social Media

As it usually goes with any update the Grammy-winner shares on her life, after Taylor's post about being on the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, it didn't take long for her fans to begin freaking out.

 

Not only did fans love hearing about how special the movie itself is to the 36-year-old, but they also were thrilled in general to be getting some new music. On platforms like Reddit, some even began speculating that she might be continuing to grow her career, potentially shooting for an Oscar-nominated original song.

 

"Blondie wants an Oscar bad," wrote a Swiftie on Reddit. "She keeps us fed. We are the luckiest fan base in the world."

 

"She's such a Toy Story artist too," added a fan. "I've always thought of her music, especially the first couple of albums, when watching those movies years ago."

 

"This is the start of an Oscar campaign," wrote a user.

 

"So excited for a new song!" added another.
