Taylor Swift's New Song for 'Toy Story 5' Breaks Records

Taylor Swift’s new song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” written for the film “Toy Story 5,” has only just been released, and it is already breaking records. Last night, between Friday and Saturday, Spotify announced that the song, which came out yesterday, became the most-streamed country song by a female artist in a single day.

At the same time, Apple Music said it was the most successful country single of 2026 and the soundtrack song with the highest number of streams on its first day of release. The streaming success is attributed in part to the decision to release the music video accompanying the song exclusively on leading music streaming services. The video focuses on the character Jessie and includes clips from the new film. Among other things, it shows Jessie’s original meeting with Woody and Buzz Lightyear, along with flashbacks to the character’s past and a scene showing her playing with a young girl.

Musically, the song marks Swift’s return to the country style that characterized the start of her career. In the entertainment industry, it is estimated that the song may receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. Throughout her career, Swift has written a number of songs for the big screen, including “Crazier” for the Hannah Montana film, “Today Was a Fairytale” for “Valentine’s Day,” “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” with Zayn Malik for “Fifty Shades Darker,” “Carolina” for “Where the Crawdads Sing,” and the protest anthem “Only the Young” for her Netflix documentary “Miss Americana.”

“Toy Story 5” will open in theaters in Israel on June 18, seven years after the previous film in the series was released. More on this topic Madonna performed in Times Square and revealed songs from her new album with her family’s approval: The childhood story of Celine Dion is headed to the screen
