Taylor Swift's song for "Toy Story 5" ties back to her Nashville roots

The intrigue: The new song, "I Knew It, I Knew You," which drops Friday, may do just that. In a statement announcing the collab, Disney said the song "marks a return to Taylor Swift's country roots, blending styles that have defined her record-breaking career as a songwriter and artist."

Between the lines: The song is inspired by Jessie, the "rootin' tootin' cowgirl" who made her debut in "Toy Story 2," Disney reports.

Zoom in: Swift co-wrote and co-produced the song with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, per Disney.

What she's saying: "I fell instantly in love with 'Toy Story 5' when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening," Swift said on social media.
