“I Knew It, I Knew You” is from Toy Story 5 , inspired by the film’s cowgirl heroine, Jessie . In June, the song launched as Swift’s 15th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 . It became just the third leader on the list ever from an animated Disney movie, and the first from its Pixar studio.

“Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time,” Swift shared June 1 on Instagram. “Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now … is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.”
