After months of continuously dropping hints that made the fan community restless, Taylor Swift confirmed a historic collaboration with Pixar animation studio in the latest part of the classic film franchise "Toy Story 5". The singer born in 1989 will contribute her voice to the soundtrack album of this animation blockbuster with a completely new song she created herself called "I Knew It, I Knew You".
According to the official announcement, this song will be released on June 5, right before the most anticipated summer animated film officially hits global cinemas on June 19.
Before the news exploded in the media, the owner of the hit "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys" made fans extremely excited when posting an excited status on his personal Instagram account with hundreds of millions of followers: "It's truly a'toy story'. You guessed right! My new original song for the Disney and Pixar movie'Toy Story 5' will be released to you on June 5th".
The female singer could not hide her emotion when sharing about the special meaning of this project. As a loyal fan of the series since childhood, being able to write music for characters associated with childhood for her is like a real dream. She was lucky to preview the first completed edits of the film and immediately after leaving the trial screening to return home, the melodies of "I Knew It, I Knew You" were immediately born.
In fact, for Taylor Swift's long-time fans, this announcement is not too surprising because they are already familiar with their idol's top-notch hidden talent. Previously, Taylor Swift had cleverly activated the countdown clock on her personal website with a blue and white cloud background symbolizing "Toy Story" and the image of cowboy Jessie.
Rumors about this handshake actually surfaced from the end of April when Taylor appeared on the street in an outfit with the film's characteristic color strip. Immediately after that, a series of traces appeared: the cloud effect flew across the screen when searching for "Taylor Swift" on TikTok; the image of the seagull on the cover of the album "1989 (Taylor's Version)" was replaced by clouds, and the font changed to blue and yellow.
On Pixar's side, the company is also actively "improvising" by erecting a series of billboards in major cities with the words "TS" placed next to 13 clouds (Taylor's lucky number). Pixar's homepage even posted a video of Jessie's character with a status quoting from the blockbuster "Shake It Off". Currently, the female singer's website has opened a pre-order gateway for 3 limited CD versions (including original, acoustic and piano) with exclusive photos.
Taylor Swift's participation is expected to bring a huge commercial boost to "Toy Story 5".
This film marks the return of a cast of legendary characters who have been associated with the childhood of many generations of audiences such as cowboy Woody, space police officer Buzz Lightyear and cowboy Jessie.
In the new film, the traditional toy group will face a completely new era challenge, which is the rise of high-tech toys and electronic devices, led by the smart tablet named Lily.
