Taylor Swift's 'I Knew It, I Knew You' Breaks Streaming Records for Toy Story 5 Soundtrack

Taylor Swift's latest song, "I Knew It, I Knew You," created for Toy Story 5, has made a significant impact on streaming platforms. The track broke records on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music on its release day. It became the most streamed country song in a single day by a female artist on Spotify, set a record for first-day listens among soundtrack singles on Apple Music, and had the biggest streaming day for any song on Amazon Music in 2026.

Swift teased her involvement in Toy Story 5 throughout the week before dropping the song on Friday. She expressed her excitement about writing for the beloved characters of the franchise, particularly the cowgirl character Jessie, voiced by Joan Cusack. The song's nostalgic lyrics were crafted specifically for Jessie, blending a sense of musical departure and familiarity for Swift.

"I Knew It, I Knew You" is Swift's first release since The Life of a Showgirl last fall, which achieved significant success on the charts. The new song will be featured on the official Toy Story 5 soundtrack, set to release on the same day as the movie premiere. The anticipation for both the movie and the soundtrack is high, given the positive reception of Swift's contribution to the iconic franchise.
