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. 🤠🐴

Got ready for bed, put on chapstick, and was one step from laying down in bed when out of nowhere something inside me screamed, “YOU FORGOT TO FEED YOUR SOURDOUGH STARTER!” I froze for a second, weighed my options, then headed to the kitchen.
It should be a requirement for all lawmakers to physically go through bedtime routine with a toddler for a whole month after the daylight saving time change. Maybe then we would stop this madness. I truly hate it, and especially hate it in July when it’s light until 10pm. 😵💫
Taylor Swift talks about the reception to her new album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ during Zane Lowe interview:
“I welcome the chaos. The rule of show business is if it’s the first week of my album release, and you are saying either my name or my album title, you’re helping. I have a lot of respect for people’s subjective opinions on art — I’m not the art police. Everybody is allowed to feel exactly how they want and what our goal is as entertainers is to be a mirror. Oftentimes an album is a really, really wild way to look at yourself — what you’re going through in your life is gonna affect whether you relate to the music I’m putting out at any given moment. What I often love seeing my fans say is ‘I used to be someone who didn’t like relate to Reputation, and now that I’ve been through some other things in my life, that’s my favorite album.’ Or ‘I used to be a Fearless girlie, now I’m obsessed with Evermore.’ I have such an eye on legacy when I’m making my music — I know what I made, I know I adore it.”

this is my last the bitches who
opportunity as wish i’d hurry up
an artist to grasp and die but
onto that kind i’m immortal now,
of success i couldn’t if i tried
i think some people who are criticizing showgirl need to know that while youve been getting down about the liars and the dirty dirty cheats of the world you couldve been getting down to this sick beat
Just turned back on the privacy restrictions to be kid friendly, so I’ll be bumping the clean version of TLOAS from now on. If you’ve never listened to Taylor’s albums as clean versions, she’s the best, IMO, at rewriting/replacing lyrics to make it unnoticeable.
I’m not even sure how to put thoughts together about this album. It’s SO good! Finishing up the second listen and I’m just….trying to process what I’m hearing. 🔥🔥🔥 #TSTheLifeofaShowgirl
