  • Pop superstar Taylor Swift announced her new song "I Knew It, I Knew You" will be released on June 5.
  • The song is part of the official soundtrack for the upcoming "Toy Story 5" movie, fulfilling a childhood dream for Swift.
  • The announcement followed weeks of cryptic clues and fan speculation across social media.

Taylor Swift has fulfilled a lifelong dream by writing an original song for the upcoming "Toy Story 5." The American pop star confirmed the news, revealing her new track, titled "I Knew It, I Knew You," will debut on June 5 as part of the film's official soundtrack. The movie is slated for release on June 19.

Swift, who boasts 273 million followers, expressed her excitement, stating, "I always dreamed of writing for this movie." She shared that she has been a fan of the "Toy Story" franchise since she was five years old. The song is also being described as a return to her country music roots.

The confirmation came after a multi-week campaign of enigmatic clues that ignited a frenzy of theories on social media. The mystery began with the appearance of posters in major cities like Chicago, London, and Los Angeles. These posters featured a distinctive sky-blue background with 13 white clouds, a motif from the "Toy Story" films, and bore only the initials "TS." Fans quickly connected the initials and the number 13, Swift's signature symbol, to a potential collaboration.

Further fueling speculation, Pixar itself posted a video on Instagram showing the character Jessie dancing in front of one of the posters. The caption, "She makes up the moves as she goes," was immediately recognized by fans as a reference to Swift's 2014 hit "Shake It Off." This convergence of clues before the official announcement left little doubt among fans that they were on the right track.
