The record-breaking doesn\u2019t stop there, for the song is now also Apple Music\u2019s biggest country single of 2026, and it broke Apple Music\u2019s all-time record for the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZOL2kNu6cZ\/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZOL2kNu6cZ\/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">biggest soundtrack single based on first-day plays<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThis makes sense, in large part, due the music video\u2019s exclusivity to Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming platforms. Swifties and others wanting to view the video footage of Jessie, whom the song is about, flocked to both services to contribute to the impressive new metrics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe track also had the biggest first 24-hour streaming debut globally for any song on Amazon Music in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Previous, 12:20 p.m.: <\/strong>Taylor Swift\u2019s original song for the upcoming <em>Toy Story 5<\/em>, \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d now has a music video companion available to view on Spotify and Apple Music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe song aligns closely with the story of Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack), who first entered the playground in <em>Toy Story 2<\/em>. Swift wrote it \u201cas soon as [she] got home from\u201d a very early screening of the film, and it marks a return to her country music roots heard in her first several albums from her debut to <em>Fearless<\/em> to <em>Speak Now<\/em> and <em>Red<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe scene of Jessie first meeting Woody with Bullseye in the background kicks off the music video. Then she joins the rest of the toys, including Buzz Lightyear. She also flashes back to her previous owner leaving her in a donations box, red car driving away. The music video ends with a young, red-headed girl who looks a lot like Jessie pictured playing with the cowgirl doll in a tire swing and falling into a pile of leaves. Some of this footage looks to be from the fifth film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>RELATED: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/05\/toy-story-5-box-office-projection-1236929392\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/05\/toy-story-5-box-office-projection-1236929392\/\">\u2018Toy Story 5\u2019 Bound To Break Franchise &amp; 2026 YTD Records With $150M U.S. Opening \u2013 Box Office Early Look<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tSwift wrote the song with frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff. It will most definitely enter her in the race for Oscar consideration for Best Original song. In the past, she has contributed songs like \u201cCarolina\u201d for <em>Where the Crawdads Sing<\/em> (2022), \u201cBeautiful Ghosts\u201d for the movie musical <em>Cats<\/em> (2019) in which she appeared as Bombalurina and \u201cSafe and Sound\u201d (feat.

She also wrote \u201cToday Was A Fairytale\u201d for <em>Valentine\u2019s Day<\/em> (2008) in which she appeared alongside ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWhether Swift has a voice role in the film is yet to be revealed, but the connection could be drawn seeing as Greta Lee, who voices Lilypad in the fifth movie, featured in the music video for Swift\u2019s \u201cOpalite\u201d following the two women appearing on <em>The Graham Norton Show<\/em> together with Domhnall Gleeson and Cillian Murphy, who also feature in that same music video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe musician announced her contribution to the latest film in the franchise June 1, and the song is now streaming on any music platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>RELATED: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/04\/tim-allen-toy-story-5-buzz-lightyear-1236371389\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/04\/tim-allen-toy-story-5-buzz-lightyear-1236371389\/\">Tim Allen Says \u2018Toy Story 5\u2019 Is \u201cA Lot About Jessie\u201d &amp; Teases \u201cUnbelievable Opening Scene With Buzz Lightyears\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source deadline.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATED, 5:00 p.m.: Taylor Swift\u2018s Toy Story 5 song, \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d has become the most-streamed country song in a single day by a female artist in Spotify history.
