Taylor Swift fans have been hoping that Disney/Pixar will “just say yes” when it comes to confirming longstanding rumors that the pop superstar is involved in some way with “Toy Story 5.” That’s not happening… yet. But anticipation over the possibility was further piqued Friday, with the unveiling of billboards that any reasonable person would suspect either (a) point toward a coming announcement of Swift being a part of the movie or (b) will get the company crucified by Swifties if it should all turn out to be a faux tease.
The billboards feature the giant letters “TS,” which happens to be an acronym for both Swift’s name and the film franchise, obviously. Although “Toy Story” movies have never been boiled down to two letters before, there’s a first time for everything, so there is plausible deniability in a connection there.
But then there are 13 cartoon clouds on the billboards… which holds true both for horizontal and vertical variants of the advertising. With that employment of the singer’s favorite number in the new ad campaign, any deniability would no longer be very plausible.
Of course, no one is denying anything right now. Reps for both Disney and Swift had no comment when asked about the billboards Friday.
