It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠

You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. 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. Sometimes you just know, right?

You can pre-order now exclusively on my site and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

I still have it in my drafts btw!!! I just need to tweak it a little bit and I probably will now that I have more time.

and actually this is perfect because now that off campus is out, I think I got some more things to say

For the record I view Taylor Swift as a real human being with flaws who sometimes makes choices that I don’t agree with. But I don’t feel obligated to “prove” that I can criticize her as a litmus test before offering any other insights or analysis on her career/body of work. And when I see other people leading with “I’m not like other swifties because I can criticize her” I find that performative and functionally useless to the conversation 90% of the time.

Taylor Swift for The New York Times

also have said this already but do think it’s a bit funny that fans spent years begging her to grow a backbone and now hate that she had one

[diamondseaside]

taylor has exuded so much confidence and self assuredness and wisdom this era and if that comes off as arrogance to you then maybe you just don’t like women

"don't respond to trolls in your comments. that's not what we want from you, we want your art." new load-bearing taylor swift quote just dropped

[mustlikeme4me]

I have read once that success is not just about how much you've achieved, but having found the confidence in yourself and your abilities that if one day everything you earned was going to be taken away, you are capable of building it all over again. THIS is the vibe I've been getting from Taylor in the last couple of years, and the way she presents herself. It's not that she didn't have those abilities before, moreso that she herself didn't believe that she had "finally arrived". She used to look at things like there was a deadline hanging above her had, and approach things in a "this is my last chance to do this" way,but not anymore. Now she talks like she's so proud of my journey, but I can't wait to show what more I've got. I'm grateful for everything that helped her get here. The success of the Eras, success of re recording endeavour and being able to buy back her masters, the fulfilment and support in her personal life that she knows will never get in the way of her dreams but will instead fuel it, and meaningful recognitions like SHOF being in favour even if the internet population tears you up over the random things. You can actually see it play out. She's not in a rush about anything or desperate for validation anymore. She does her job, and sits back and relax.

A very well adjusted human being, the result of a lot of work by looking at the how and understanding the why behind her emotions and actions.

it’s 2026 and we know why taylor chose to write “talk real slow” in our song

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

i think taylor should share her strong opinions on things more actually

[sadbeautifutragic]

a big reason i will never get over the lyric "i have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness i've been dying just from trying to seem cool" is that it frames the lovable qualities that make her who she is - her earnestness, her whimsy, her awkwardness - as some sort of disease, an undesirable curse. she feels pressured to conform and pretend to be someone she's not in a desperate attempt to "cure" herself, to be accepted, except the act of hiding her authentic self is slowly killing her from the inside out, piece by piece. it's the story of every anxious girl who felt inadequate, who felt like the friend forced to walk in the back, who felt too loud, annoying, and weird for the "normal" crowd. it hits extremely hard every single time i listen to it

[stillgotscars]

taylor swift all the time. other artists, occasionally.

Cat lovers on the cat subreddit hating on Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal for hating cats (Jessie making her husband getting rid of his cats) is soooooo funny!!!

[baeckerei]

bridgerton is so scary. one by one the siblings are fetched away off into "their happy ending" only to turn into non-characters bearing innumerable children in the background of someone elses story. its like a zombie movie

[herefortayloronly]

I find it so cool that Benedict got to come out to Sophie! Maybe I will give Bridgerton writers their flowers! But not too much!!
