THE new Taylor Swift song I Knew It, I Knew You for Disney and Pixar’s new Toy Story 5 movie is out now.
Produced with long-time collaborator Jack Antonoff, the track is inspired by the journey of cowgirl rag doll character Jessie throughout the franchise and marks Taylor’s return to her country roots. 
A series of ‘TS’ billboard teasers right before the release, playfully pointed to the initials shared by both the singer and the movie.
In a social media post, the artist revealed that she wrote the song as soon as she got home from an early screening she attended in February, stating that she instantly fell in love with the upcoming fifth instalment.
“Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time,” she explained.
“Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a Toy Story kid from the age of five till now is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond,” she added.
On its release day, I Knew It, I Knew You became the most-streamed country song in a single day by a female artist in streaming platform Spotify’s history.
The production also earned the accolades of creatives behind the film, as writer-director Andrew Stanton stated that upon first listening to it, he felt that the song fit within the franchise like a ‘long-lost family member’. 
Toy Story 5 releases in theatres on June 19.
