Taylor Swift Shatters Streaming Records on Day One With 'Toy Story 5' Anthem

Taylor Swift has already made her mark with her latest soundtrack contribution, as her new Toy Story 5 song is demolishing streaming records across the board.
The track "I Knew It, I Knew You" achieved historic milestones on multiple platforms within its opening day. Spotify confirmed it became the most-streamed country song by a female artist in a single day in the platform's history. Meanwhile, Apple Music reported that the song set the service's all-time record for the biggest soundtrack single based on first-day streams, while also claiming the title of the platform's biggest country song debut of 2026.
Amazon Music also took notice, reporting that the release earned the largest 24-hour streaming debut for any song globally on their platform this year.
Swift accompanied the track with a music video that incorporates footage of Jessie, the iconic cowgirl character from the Toy Story universe.
On Instagram, Swift reflected on the creative process behind the song. "Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time," she shared. "Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a Toy Story kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond."
The song will be part of the Toy Story 5 soundtrack when the film hits theaters on June 19.
