The art attached to the releases hints at a further connection to Jessie and the cowgirl&#8217;s tragic backstory, as seen in <em>Toy Story 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While the track wasn&#8217;t immediately available at the time of its announcement, Disney confirmed that &#8220;I Knew It, I Knew You&#8221; will debut on June 5.<\/p>\n<p>The news was seemingly in direct contradiction to what director Andrew Stanton said <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cEGbltAK6rg\">during an interview<\/a> last week, which spurred headlines suggesting Swift was not involved. But a closer look at the filmmaker&#8217;s quote left some wiggle room. &#8220;The sad truth is we watched the movie being mixed last week done and the song at the end of that was not Taylor Swift song,&#8221; Stanton said, which only really means that a potential song from Swift wouldn&#8217;t be the end-credits song. It could still appear mid-movie. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is Taylor Swift in TOY STORY 5?!
