Taylor Swift is officially in her Toy Story era, making an appearance at the Toy Story 5 premiere in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
The superstar has an original song, titled “I Knew It, I Knew You,” in the film, which she wrote and produced alongside frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff. Though Swift was not included on the guest list sent to press ahead of the premiere, she hit the carpet ahead of the screening wearing a short neutral-colored dress that featured a floral design.
The Grammy winner arrived on the carpet, which took over Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Dolby Theatre, from an area blocked from press and guests. She joined the film’s stars and filmmakers for a group photo as well as with the life-size versions of the iconic characters.
“I Knew It, I Knew You” dropped on June 5, two weeks ahead of the film’s release, and broke multiple streaming records within its first 24 hours. The song marks a return to Swift’s country roots and was inspired by cowgirl Jessie’s journey in the new movie.
“Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a Toy Story kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond,” Swift wrote in an Instagram post timed to the song.
