💬| The creators of Toy Story approached Taylor Swift to write a song for Toy Story 5 and she requested to see the film first. After seeing the film in Feb. she immediately wrote “I Knew It, I Knew You” on that very same day!
All we said was... The "I Knew It, I Knew You" Music Video is out now! ☁️ Watch on @Spotify and @AppleMusic. https://t.co/WNVuXUvXU5
See Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19.
💬| “I knew It, I Knew You” was written in February of this year after Taylor saw an early version of the movie, promoting the filmmakers to make a decoy film to keep the song is secret!
This confirms that the “Opalite clouds” were merely a coincidence as the music video was shot late last year!
past 3 am na at napagdesisyunan namin na manood ng Toy Story 5 sa sinehan imbes na hintayin sa Disney+ kaya eto at napa-search ako sa ganitong oras habang nakikinig ng IKIIKY 😭 hay naku Taylor, iba talaga ang nagagawa mo sa buhay ko, mahal kita sobra🥹
🎙️| Taylor Swift confirmed she wrote ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ the same day she watched Toy Story 5:
“I absolutely fell in love with the film and immediately really identified with the characters, namely Jessie and I wanted to write a song from her perspective. The song came to me so quickly that it was written and I had a rough version of it recorded by the end of that exact day that I had seen the movie. I was inspired immediately by it.”
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. 🤠🐴

“Toy Story 5” director and screenwriter Andrew Stanton on Taylor Swift's new song "I Knew It, I Knew You":
“It’s incredible just how meaningful it’s been having Taylor write and perform this song. Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable. The song is so deeply connected to ‘Toy Story.’ So much so that on first listen, it instantly felt like it had always belonged there, like a long-lost family member. It was kismet.”
