💬| Toy Story 5 co-director, McKenna Harris revealed that Taylor Swift made ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ in ONE day:
“It was like a dream come true, because for so long, in our process, we were like that might not be possible, because as you know, she’s a very busy busy lady and is doing so much with her career, while it was a wish list item for us, like ‘wow im not sure it’s gonna work out’, but the second she watched the movie, she loved it so much, and it resonated with her so much, specifically because she has a nostalgic relationship with Jessie, and grew up with these movies. She wrote the song in a DAY, it was the mist incredible feeling for us because we respect her so much and we think she is the absolute coolest, she has this big Jessie energy to me, and to hear that her as an artist loved this thing that we made and then made something beautiful in return, it’s such a wonderful gift, it’s such a blessing and we are so excited about this collaboration”
Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠
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. 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?
You can pre-order now exclusively at https://t.co/NoneI6kxdH and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
@ProphecyGay I bought it straight after last year so it was always a a bit of girl maths - bought it last year so free now. That said, my bday is the 2nd June so it’s hard to get people to commit so Hoopla is a big must 😂
@SebMilbank Tbh, men’s fashion has been dire for a few years now. Everywhere on the high street has shifted to clones of the same beige - I’d kill for some greater menswear options
@tragic_endings_ Still, fighting for removal of gay-male media for more queer media shouldn’t be the goal, but rather making more queer films in general
@tragic_endings_ That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t comment on the lack of visibility of queer women or trans people as well of course, nor ignore bi-erasure - nor the popular queer media products that exclude PoC.
