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 ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
Talking about songwriting > Talking about anything else. Thank you @joecoscarelli and @nytmag. I had the (NY) Time of my life 😎

Taylor Swift has filed three trademark applications, seemingly aimed at protecting her voice and likeness from AI misuse. (via Variety)
The trademarks include a photograph of her holding a guitar on stage and two voice recordings of her saying “Hey, it’s Taylor Swift” and “Hey, it’s Taylor.”
Rolling Stone on the online backlash around “The Life of a Showgirl”:
“People turn off certain parts of their brain when they hear [Taylor’s] voice […] Some of the online discourse around this album has been downright ludicrous, rooted in bad-faith misreadings of lyrics by listeners weirdly determined to paint Swift as some kind of trad-wife MAGA fanatic, despite her open support of Democratic candidates, including an endorsement of Kamala Harris just last year.”
Taylor Swift is now projected to have broken Adele’s record for biggest album opening in U.S. history at 3.5 million, and possibly headed for 4 million. (via HITSDD)
Hits Daily Double on #TSTheLifeofaShowgirl impact on pop culture:
“This thing is gigundo, as big as an album get — and Taylor is defying gravity in our radically niche-driven culture by being everywhere, sucking up all the oxygen and driving conversation even among people who pay scant attention to current music. This isn’t just about the Swifties, though they’re going completely ballistic as they buy, click and hit repeat on every morsel of content. The Taylor show is the rarest kind of multimedia phenomenon.”
Writing, rehearsing, directing and shooting the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia” was the thrill of a lifetime because I got to be reunited with my Eras Tour family!! I wanted each one-take scene to feel like a live performance and remind us all of how it felt to be at those shows together. Making every moment count. It’s a journey through the chaotic world of show business. I loved working with Rodrigo Prieto, Ethan Tobman and Mandy Moore to dream up these visuals. A huge thank you to this massive cast who kept it 💯 and also kept the secret of this video even existing. It’s out on YouTube NOW!
