The appearance marks Swift's involvement with the beloved franchise, which she has been a fan of since childhood.
Taylor Swift made an unexpected appearance at the 'Toy Story 5' world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. Though she was not included on the advance press guest list, Swift arrived on the red carpet wearing a neutral-colored dress and participated in group photos with the film's cast, filmmakers, and life-size character versions. Swift contributed an original song called 'I Knew It, I Knew You' to the soundtrack, which she wrote and produced alongside frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff. The song, released on June 4-5, marks a return to Swift's country roots and was inspired by the character Jessie's journey in the film. In a social media post, Swift described the songwriting process as both 'a musical departure and coming home at the same time,' and expressed her lifelong connection to the Toy Story franchise. The film, which reunites Woody, Buzz, and Jessie to protect a child from a smart tablet's influence, releases in theaters on June 19.
