Taylor Swift performed a duet with Randy Newman at the world premiere of Toy Story 5 in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
Before a screening of the fifth instalment of Pixar’s Toy Story film series, the music superstar took to the stage to sing I Knew It, I Knew You at a piano.<\/p>\n
Taylor wrote and produced the single for the movie with her close collaborator Jack Antonoff, with the track inspired by the character of Jessie.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Opalite hitmaker was joined by the franchise’s long-running composer Randy for a rendition of his 1995 track, You’ve Got a Friend in Me.<\/p>\n
The theme song has been incorporated into the soundtracks of all of the Toy Story films, starting with the 1995 original.<\/p>\n
Addressing the audience, Taylor thanked all the artists and animators who worked so hard on creating the feature. <\/p>\n
“It means the world to me to be a small part of the universe of these films,” she smiled. “Toy Story 5 is my favourite of all the Toy Stories. I’m so lucky I get to be a part of this. I want to thank all the creators at Disney and Pixar for all the work they put into this film. It’s insanely beautiful. It’s a masterpiece. We’re so lucky to get have this film out. I hope you are all so proud of yourselves.”<\/p>\n
Members of the Toy Story 5 voice cast, including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack, also were in attendance.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Variety, Tom revealed that he didn’t know Taylor had recorded I Knew It, I Knew You before the soundtrack dropped.<\/p>\n
“It was top secret. We did not know until, literally, when the moment came. They ushered us into a soundproof room and said, ‘Tonight at 9 p.m., the true end titles song is going to drop, and it’s by Taylor Swift.’ And I was like, ‘You guys kept this from us all?’ And we saw the movie without (the song), we had some dummy thing in there.”<\/p>\n
Toy Story 5 opens in theatres on 19 June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
