UPDATE: Randy Newman did write the score.
However, at least one Taylor Swift song is called “Throwback.” I’m told the song has something to do with Joan Cusack’s character, Jessie.
Also, sources tell me those mysterious billboards that popped around the country will be taken this week and replaced by new ones.
The great and amazing Randy Newman has composed the soundtracks for the first four “Toy Story” movies.
He won a Grammy Award for his song, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
Newman, 82, is still listed as composer for “Toy Story 5” on his imdb page.
But it’s possible some of the music — more than one song — is by Taylor Swift.
It’s also possible she voices a character in the film. Or both!
Swiftian sleuths have been noting clues all weekend, dropped like breadcrumbs by the “Lover” singer in strange places.
Responses to the clues have gone so viral that one Twitter account wrote:
“when i became a taylor swift fan nearly 2 decades ago i didn’t know i was entering a life long relationship with the zodiac killer”
Let’s hope things end a lot better!
Some clues: There are enigmatic billboards placed around the country.
There was a change to her “1989” album cover on iTunes that only Swifties would notice.
Fans are tracking Disney and Pixar sites, Swift’s TikTok, and other social media to see what happens next.

Obviously, a lot of effort has gone into this campaign. As many have pointed out, it’s far too much than just for one song on a soundtrack.
Also, this is the longest in a calendar year without a Swift release. Yes, she’s planning a wedding, but something bigger may be afoot.
Stay tuned…this could go on for a week until the movie’s premiere on June 9th…
