NEW YORK – Taylor Swift announced on June 1 that she has written a new song, to be released on June 5, for Toy Story 5.
“You knew it. My new original song I Knew It, I Knew You for Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 will be yours on June 5th,” the American megastar wrote on social media platform X.
The singer-songwriter, who has won 14 Grammy awards, said she has adored the characters of the Toy Story franchise since the first movie came out in 1995.
Toy Story 5 will be released in theatres worldwide from June 17, and opens in Singapore cinemas on June 18. It features Woody the cowboy, Buzz Lightyear and their gang of toys fighting for survival against competition from technology, particularly a tablet.
Swift’s fans had been speculating for weeks about her involvement in the latest Toy Story film, after a countdown timer appeared on her website against a background reminiscent of the wallpaper in the bedroom of the original film’s hero, Andy.
Late last week, billboards with that background and the initials TS – which the singer and the film share – began appearing in major cities in multiple countries.
Swift, 36, is engaged to American football player Travis Kelce, also 36. Their wedding will take place in New York on July 3, according to celebrity media site People. AFP
