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. 🤠🐴

My favorite part about writing is that first spark of an idea. It can happen at any time, for any reason. The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl. I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, @TheGNShow. For those of you who aren’t familiar, it’s a UK late night show where Graham Norton (the insanely charismatic and lovable host) invites a random group of actors, entertainers, musicians, etc to be on his show and we all sit there and chat like it’s a dinner party. They even serve wine. Anyway. I remember thinking I got ridiculously lucky with the group I was paired with. Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and @LewisCapaldi. All people whose work I’ve admired from afar. When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. He’s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*. And so a week later he received an email script I’d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role. I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too. Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90’s with us and help with this video. You might even recognize some friendly faces from The Eras Tour. I got to work with one of my favorite people in the world, Rodrigo Prieto, again! I had more fun than I ever imagined - Made new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices. It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters. Shot on film. The Opalite video is out now on Spotify & Apple Music.

Happy 36th birthday to the iconic Taylor Swift.
The 14x Grammy-winning superstar, who debuted in 2006, has taken the world by storm era after era, and record after record. Her impact has ranged from her songwriting talents, which landed her a Songwriter Hall of Fame nomination in her first year of eligibility, to the phenomenon of the Eras Tour, which is the highest-grossing tour of all time. She is the first artist in history to hold the entire Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 multiple times, which no other artist has done once. She was named TIME’s Person of the Year in 2023 and, this year, broke the record for biggest album opening in Billboard 200 history when her twelfth studio album opened at four million units. She also gained ownership to her first six albums and now fully owns her entire discography, which boasts four Album of the Year wins — the most for any singer ever.
This is so bad. I hate the Democrats with every bone in my body jfc. They’re about to enact total censorship and mass surveillance and dumbass MSM journalists are cheering it on.
Dude on the left is called a communist in the US for advocating for universal healthcare and less income inequality.
Dude on the right loves Hitler and wants a race war.
This has to be the final boss of centrism
In Stuttgart, Maccabi supporters chant "Let the IDF fuck the Arabs," "Death to the Arabs," and "Fuck you Palestine." The @VfB speaks of a "successful soccer evening." Open calls for genocide in German stadiums; politicians, media, and sports remain silent. Shameful.
