The pop star made a special appearance at the preview of toy story 5where he played “I Knew It, I Knew You” (“I knew it, I knew you”), the song he composed for this new installment, which will be released on June 19.
It was last Tuesday, June 9, in Los Angeles, where Taylor Swift performed the song that took her back to her country roots, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which is loaded with feelings.
This song, composed and inspired by the character of Jessie, the cowgirl, has been taken on social networks as a response to “When someone loved me”, from the second installment of the franchise.
After the screening of the Disney Pixar film, some three thousand spectators at the Dolby Theater witnessed the debut of this song, as the screen rose and revealed the singer on stage.
Sitting at the piano, the artist presented her interpretation of the single, in the country-pop style, which emerged after Swift learned about part of the initial project. According to international media, after watching part of the film, she came home inspired and wrote the song, which had the support of Jack Antonoff.
Billboard recovered Swift’s message after her performance, in which she highlighted: “I would just like to say that it means the world to me to be a small part of the universe of these movies, and toy story 5 It’s my favorite of all the movies toy story”.
In the midst of praising the dubbing team and the producers, and highlighting the beauty of the story of this film, Swift highlighted the importance of personalities like Randy Newman, who initiated the singles of this universe.
After his words, another screen rose and revealed Randy Newman sitting at the piano, who as a duet performed the well-known song “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” known in Spanish as “Yo soy tu cuerpo faithful.”

The film, which according to national cinemas will arrive on June 18, will take the public to the life of toys in a world where technology steals children’s attention.
The film will mark the return of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie to the big screen and shows the loneliness that toys present when they are displaced by technology, as well as the battle they wage against the villainous Lilipad.
“I’m losing Bonnie to this thing,” Jessie tells Woody in one of the previews. The character will become relevant in this fifth installment. In an age where technology predominates, toy story 5 seeks to reconnect with its audience and make them reflect on childhood and the use of technology.
