The announcement was made after mysterious ‘TS’ billboards appeared in cities including London, Toronto, Los Angeles and Mexico City. Fans wondered what the letters meant. Were they for Taylor Swift? Or Toy Story? As it turned out, they were a clever hint, with both sharing the same initials.

A special Toy Story-themed countdown on Taylor Swift’s website also helped build excitement before the big reveal.

Toy Story 5 director Andrew Stanton said, “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.”
