Summary

- She performed and sang a duet with Randy Newman at the premiere.
- Her new song 'I Knew It, I Knew You' returns to her country roots.
Taylor Swift graced the premiere of 'Toy Story 5' on Tuesday evening, following the recent record-breaking success of her original song for the film, 'I Knew It, I Knew You.' The singer-songwriter performed at the event, expressing her honor in writing for Joan Cusack's character, Jessie.
Swift acknowledged Randy Newman, calling him the "architect of the Toy Story musical universe," before joining him for a duet of 'You Got A Friend In Me.' Her new track, 'I Knew It, I Knew You,' evokes the country genre from which Swift began her career, reminiscent of 'Betty' from folklore.
The ballad's themes resonate with Jessie's story of abandonment and finding a new family with Woody and Buzz. Swift wrote the song after an early film screening, collaborating with Jack Antonoff. Other cast members like Tom Hanks and Tim Allen were also in attendance.
