What's the story
The upcoming animated film Toy Story 5 has been generating a lot of buzz, especially because of Taylor Swift's involvement. The pop star has written a song for the movie, titled I Knew It, I Knew You. However, to keep this under wraps until its official release on Friday, the film's team had to create a "decoy version" without Swift's song!
Secrecy measures
The song was kept a secret from most of crew
Thomas Jordan, a VFX supervisor on Toy Story 5, recently spoke to Variety at SXSW London. He revealed that Swift had seen an early version of the film and wrote her song after watching it. "Turns out, Taylor Swift is a huge Toy Story fan like many of us," Jordan said. "The crew that made Toy Story 5 did not know about this secret (about the song) until last week."
