Andrew Stanton<\/a> said. Then he clarified: \u201cThe sad truth is, we watched the movie being mixed last week, done, and the song on the end of that was not Taylor Swift\u2019s song.\u201d Which was little clarification for anyone wanting to know if the artist has a song anywhere in the film.<\/p>\n\n\tThe rumors got underway months ago when a mysterious countdown clock briefly popped up on Swift\u2019s website with a cloud pattern that eagle-eyed fans recognized as looking just like the wallpaper in the \u201cToy Story\u201d series. The clock disappeared nearly as quickly as it appeared, and nothing seemed to happen at the time to which the ticker had been pointing. But there are few accidents in Swift-land, least of all the accident of seeming to randomly evoke Disney visual IP.<\/p>\n
\n\tFans further noted that the release date for \u201cToy Story 5,\u201d June 19, coincides with the anniversary date for Swift\u2019s first single release, \u201cTim McGraw.\u201d And the singer has said that she has a \u201cTaylor\u2019s Version\u201d edition of her debut album in the can that she planned to still release someday. So some theories have those being tied in somehow\u2026 but how? Will she put out \u201cTaylor Swift (TV)\u201d that day? Will she have recorded a new version of \u201cTim McGraw\u201d with Buzz- and Woody-themed lyrics? Will the movie turn out to be a period piece set in 2006, with all the human and inanimate characters obsessed with the debut album by a 16-year-old country singer from Tennessee? Will she and franchise music-meister Randy Newman have hooked up to recut \u201cShort People\u201d as a tribute to the ultimate short people \u2014 action figures? (Or a duet of \u201cJessie,\u201d set to the tune of \u201cMarie\u201d?)<\/p>\n
\n\tAny of these theories may be outlandish, but possibly not as crazy as whatever the reality may turn out to be, assuming the tease is real. Unless it just turns out to be a product tie-in, but Swift\u2019s Easter eggs rarely crack open to reveal anything that\u2019s not fit for the griddle.<\/p>\n
\n\tBarring any leaks, the likeliest date for fans finding out whether any of this faith is rewarded is June 9, when \u201cToy Story 5\u201d has its premiere. Assuming that the gala unveiling does not still leave a \u201cTBA\u201d blank spot for where a Swift contribution would come on the June 19 release date \u2014 an unlikely scenario, but stranger things have happened. And if a cigar is just a cigar, an acronym is just an acronym and clouds just look better in sets of a baker\u2019s dozen, we can all wipe the Easter egg off our faces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
