Taylor Swift has officially put weeks of fan speculation to rest by confirming that her new song, "I Knew It, I Knew You", will be featured in "Toy Story 5".

Rumours have been circulating among Swift fans for several weeks, beginning when the singer briefly launched a mysterious countdown on her website before removing it ahead of its completion.

The countdown was styled using colours strongly associated with the "Toy Story" franchise. Speculation intensified further when a billboard featuring the initials "TS" against a blue sky and white cloud background appeared. Fans quickly pointed out that the image contained exactly 13 clouds, a reference to Swift's famous lucky number. Pixar later fuelled the excitement by posting an image of the billboard across its social media channels.

Swift has now officially confirmed that her original song "I Knew It, I Knew You" will be included in the upcoming film, which arrives in cinemas on June 19. The single is scheduled for release on Friday, June 5, and is available to pre-order now.

"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," Swift wrote. "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?"

Swift co-wrote the track alongside Jack Antonoff, and fans will be able to purchase three different CD editions featuring the film version, an acoustic rendition and a piano version.

"Toy Story 5" director Andrew Stanton also praised Swift's involvement in the project. "It’s incredible just how meaningful it’s been having Taylor write and perform this song. Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable. The song is so deeply connected to Toy Story. So much so that on first listen, it instantly felt like it had always belonged there, like a long-lost family member. It was kismet."

The new film continues the story after Woody chose to remain with Bo Peep at the conclusion of the previous movie. Jessie has since become the leader of Bonnie's room, with Buzz Lightyear serving as her second in command. However, Bonnie's attention has shifted to a new favourite toy, a frog-like tablet called Lilypad.

Bad Bunny is also part of the voice cast. It was recently revealed that he will play "Pizza With Sunglasses", a talking slice of pizza described as a forgotten toy living inside an abandoned backyard shed.

Swift's most recent album was 2025's "The Life Of A Showgirl", a record inspired by her experiences during the hugely successful "Eras" tour. The album quickly became the UK's biggest seller of the year, making Swift the first artist since ABBA in 1977 to top the annual sales chart in consecutive years with different albums.

Since releasing the album, Swift has become the youngest female artist ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, recruited Graham Norton, Lewis Capaldi and Cillian Murphy for her "Opalite" music video, and filed trademarks covering her voice and likeness amid growing concerns surrounding artificial intelligence.

The wait is finally over. Boards of Canada have returned with new music.

The Scottish electronic duo has officially ended a 13 year silence with the release of Inferno, which arrived at midnight through Warp Records. Few fans expected a new Boards of Canada album to appear in 2026, making the surprise release all the more remarkable. Inferno lands at a time when much of Europe is battling extreme heat and global anxieties continue to mount, creating a fitting backdrop for the record’s arrival.

As previously reported, the album features 18 tracks spread across 70 minutes and opens with the previously released songs “Introit” and “Prophecy At 1420 MHz.”

Inferno could prove to be Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin’s most adventurous project since 2002’s Geogaddi. Once the initial excitement of hearing a new Boards of Canada album settles, the collection unmistakably carries the group’s signature sound. The record feels vast in scope, shifting between moments of warmth, wonder, and beauty while also venturing into darker, dystopian territory. Fans searching for straightforward dance floor material may need to look elsewhere.

Among the album’s highlights are “You Retreat In Time And Space,” which evokes the atmosphere of an ancient cathedral, “Arena Americanada,” with its familiar and curious energy, and “Age of Capricorn,” whose enigmatic sampled vocal is likely to inspire endless fan theories and investigations.

On “Father And Son,” the duo delves into themes of cult mentality through what may be their most conversation driven composition to date, weaving spoken samples together with layers of electronic textures.

Inferno follows 2013’s Tomorrow’s Harvest, which became the duo’s first Top 10 album in the United Kingdom after reaching No. 7. The release also climbed to No. 13 on the Billboard 200, marking their debut appearance on the all genre U.S. albums chart.

The pair briefly resurfaced in 2019 with “XYZ,” an unreleased recording from their July 1998 Peel Session. The track appeared on Warp Records’ WXAXRXP Sessions collection, released as part of the label’s 30th anniversary celebrations.

Brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin have long maintained an air of mystery around Boards of Canada. The duo are known for crafting immersive musical worlds while remaining largely out of the public eye. Live performances are rare, and media interviews are even rarer. There is little indication that their famously private approach will change anytime soon.

Inferno is available in several formats, including a limited edition red translucent double LP housed in a triple gatefold sleeve with a 16 page booklet, a standard black double LP edition, as well as CD and digital versions. More information can be found through boardsofcanada.com and Warp.net.

The team behind Toy Story 5 have addressed the viral fan theory that Taylor Swift secretly recorded a song for the film’s soundtrack, putting speculation to rest.

The rumours first gained traction earlier this month when the singer briefly uploaded a mysterious countdown timer to her website. The clock was set to expire on May 2 at 2pm, but it was removed before reaching zero, leaving fans searching for clues.

Although Swift never revealed what the countdown was connected to, many fans became convinced it was tied to a collaboration with the upcoming Toy Story sequel. Much of the speculation centred on the website’s visual design, including a cloud-filled backdrop reminiscent of Toy Story, a similar font style, and the fact that both Taylor Swift and Toy Story share the initials “TS”.

Others went even deeper into detective mode, pointing to Swift’s recent fashion choices. Fans noted that she had frequently been seen wearing a horseshoe necklace and dressing in shades of sky blue, white, yellow and red, colours often associated with the beloved Pixar franchise.

Now, with Toy Story 5 set to arrive in cinemas on June 19, members of the creative team have directly responded to the rumours and confirmed that Swift has not contributed any music to the project.

Speaking from Pixar headquarters, director Andrew Stanton, co-director McKenna Harris and producer Lindsey Collins said they were surprised by how quickly the theory spread online. They also admitted they were flattered that so many people believed Swift would want to be involved with the film, according to USA Today.

“It would be pretty amazing,” Collins said, before Stanton clarified that Swift has not contributed to the ending song. “The sad truth is we watched the movie being mixed last week, and the song on the end was not Taylor Swift,” he said.

The film is being produced by Pixar for Walt Disney Pictures and arrives seven years after Toy Story 4. In the years since, audiences have also seen the release of Lightyear, the franchise spin off that explored Buzz Lightyear’s origins and debuted four years ago.

Swift’s most recent album was 2025’s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’, a project inspired by her experiences on the record-breaking ‘Eras’ tour. The album quickly became the UK’s best-selling release of the year, making Swift the first artist since ABBA in 1977 to top the annual sales chart in consecutive years with different albums.

Since releasing the album, Swift has become the youngest female artist ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, recruited Graham Norton, Lewis Capaldi and Cillian Murphy for her ‘Opalite’ music video, and moved to trademark her voice and likeness amid growing concerns surrounding artificial intelligence.
