\n\t\u201cToy Story 5\u2033 VFX supervisor Thomas Jordan revealed during a panel at SXSW London that he\u2019s been keeping Taylor Swift\u2019s song for the film a secret since February. <\/p>\n

\n\tTitled \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You,\u201d Swift\u2019s song for the film \u2014 which sees the pop star return to her country roots \u2014 was released on Friday before \u201cToy Story 5\u201d hits theaters on June 19.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTurns out, Taylor Swift is a huge \u2018Toy Story\u2019 fan like many of us,\u201d Jordan said at SXSW London on Friday. \u201cShe actually requested to see an early version of then film and she wrote the song and then asked us if we wanted it and we said \u2018Uh, yes! Yes we do.\u2019 That was in February, so we had to keep that a secret since then.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJordan also said that the \u201cToy Story 5\u201d team had to \u201ccreate a decoy version\u201d of the film without the song in it to show to press and other Pixar\/Disney staff who weren\u2019t privy to the information. Some staffers, he said, just found out about the Swift song last week. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe fifth installment in Pixar and Disney\u2019s iconic animated franchise picks up with beloved toys Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Woody (Tom Hanks) and Jessie (Joan Cusack) a few years after the events of the fourth film (voiced by Greta Lee). This time, they\u2019re facing the existential threat that technology has posed to playtime, represented by smart device Lilypad. <\/p>\n
