So, our long national nightmare is over.
Taylor Swift is now hawking her single from “Toy Story 5” after dropping clues for days.
On her website she’s posted collectible editions of “I Knew It, I Know You” which will be on the movie’s soundtrack.
The physical single drops “on or about” June 19th, but streaming begins this Thursday after midnight.
The physical CD is for sale on her website for just 48 hours.
Taylor says: “I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?”
It’s an apt title because we knew it, and we know her. She loves to play games with her Swifties.
The single will throw Taylor’s hat in the ring for an Oscar nomination next winter. But it’s not guaranteed. Right now the only song in the running is “How Do I Write a Love Song Without You” from “Power Ballad.”
What’s unclear is if this is the only Swift track on the movie’s soundtrack, or if it’s also part of another album, or if there’s a separate album.
The great Randy Newman wrote the movie’s score, of course, but this is the first time the soundtrack has included a new voice.
Now, everyone back to your homework!
