The Toy Story crew has a friend in Taylor Swift.
Days after debuting her song “I Knew It, I Knew You” from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, the Life of a Showgirl singer joined cast members Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack and more at the June 9 premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
For the event, the Grammy winner donned a strapless, structured dress by Erdem that featured a variety of floral accents and a frayed hem. She paired the chic look with a pair of strappy brown heels.
The heartwarming moment was full circle for Swift, who confessed that she was fulfilling a childhood dream by writing a song for a Toy Story movie. In fact, she also shared rare home video footage of herself as a child alongside the new track. In the snippet, young Swift marches around in a rustic get-up, including a red cowgirl hat, just like Jessie’s.
As such, writing a piece about her childhood favorite came easy for Swift.
“I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages,” Taylor gushed of the meaningful opportunity on Instagram June 1. “I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?”
