With the release of Toy Story 5 came Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>‘s first country song<\/a> in over 10 years.<\/p>\n And on Saturday<\/a>, June 27 \u2014 weeks after dropping “I Knew It, I Knew You” from the successful film’s soundtrack \u2014 Swift, 36, appeared virtually during Alan Jackson<\/strong>‘s farewell concert in Nashville.<\/p>\n But as the billionaire pop star appeared on-screen during the landmark show, Swift was met with boos and cheers during her special video message, according to media outlets including E! News<\/a>.<\/p>\n Throughout the night, heartfelt videos from different chapters of Jackson’s career played on the screens by the Nissan Stadium stage, USA Today reports<\/a>, along with messages from country singers Keith Urban<\/strong><\/a>, Zac Brown<\/strong> and Kenny Chesney<\/strong> plus NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon<\/strong> and Dale Earnhardt Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then came the announcement of “one more video,” and the “Life of a Showgirl” singer’s face appeared. “It’s Taylor,” she reportedly said to kick off the clip.<\/p>\n “I appreciate you so much for the ways that you have just treated me and the other artists and writers with such support and encouragement over the years,” Swift continued. “And I am so excited for your show.”<\/p>\n E! News reports that Swift went on to applaud Jackson’s song “Drive,” which she covered in 2008 for an episode of CMT: Giants.<\/p>\n “In that song, you paint such a picture and let us into the details of your life,” she added in part. “I know that was an example that was so good for me to see at a young age, an artist who’s really just letting fans into the details of his life.”<\/p>\n Meanwhile, we’re still at the point where Swift and Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a> haven’t officially announced wedding plans, but in lieu of all the NYC speculation, we’re another step closer to putting the pieces of the puzzle together<\/a>. According to a report from The New York Times<\/a>, a permit was filed to close streets around Madison Square Garden from July 2-4, and several Kansas City Chiefs players have allegedly reserved hotel rooms in Times Square around the same time.<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Jun 28, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
