June has certainly been an exciting month for Swifties!<\/p>\n
In case you missed it, Taylor Swift announced she was set to be featured on the soundtrack for Disney\u2019s upcoming summer release, Toy Story 5. Fans had predicted<\/a> the singer-songwriter might be featured on the highly anticipated animated sequel\u2019s soundtrack, which she then confirmed last week by dropping her original song \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d along with a sweet accompanying music video<\/a>.<\/p>\n The tune embraces the record-breaking Grammy Award winner\u2019s original country sound, with glimpses of her more modern synth pop tones. Discussing the release in an Instagram caption, Swift wrote in part<\/a>, \u201cWriting this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. 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 5 til now\u2026 is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n This week, she proved just how much of a \u201cToy Story kid\u201d she remains at heart, surprising the cast and fans in attendance after she stopped by the Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday, June 9. Sporting a gorgeous, summer-ready mini dress by Erdem, Swift walked the red carpet, where she posed for photos with the cast\u2014even bringing along a VHS tape of the original film<\/a> for all of them to sign.<\/p>\n In true Swift fashion, that wasn\u2019t the only surprise she had up her proverbial sleeves! The Eras Tour singer also took to the stage following the film to treat the audience to a live rendition of the film\u2019s song for the first time. She traded in her sweet mini dress for a sparkling butter yellow gown for the stripped-down performance, turning the upbeat tune into a beautiful ballad.<\/p>\n And what\u2019s better than one beloved artist performing their classic Toy Story tune? Two, of course! That same evening, Swift was joined onstage by the one and only Randy Newman. The country artist took over piano duties as the two sang a duet of \u201cYou Got a Friend in Me<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSome songs are timeless. This one is one of them,\u201d one fan wrote in the comments under Pixar\u2019s Instagram video of the unforgettable moment. Another commenter added, \u201cThe crossover we all needed \ud83d\udc4f.\u201d<\/p>\n Be sure to catch Toy Story 5 when it releases in theaters on Friday, June 19\u2014oh! And if Swift\u2019s song for the film is any indication of its tone, you\u2019ll probably also want to bring along some tissues.<\/p>\n
