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 ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
Speaking of canceled, I don’t get the tiny violin line 😭
it’s like she’s saying “did you throw a dumb pity party for yourself when they expected you to fight back?” it’s combining two expressions: bring a knife to a gunfight (enter a challenge unequipped to succeed), and world’s smallest violin (exaggerating your plight in ways perceived to be inappropriate)
Just one retail chain was enough for Taylor Swift to have the top-selling book last week and the biggest opening week of 2024.
NEW YORK (AP) — Just one retail chain was enough for Taylor Swift to have the top-selling book last week and the biggest opening week of 2024.
According to Circana, Swift’s “Eras Tour Book” sold 814,000 copies over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Circana tracks around 85% of the print market, but the “Eras” numbers are more precise: Swift sold the book exclusively through Target, which launched the “Eras” tie-in on Black Friday.
Sales soared even as Swift skipped Amazon.com and other retailers and as some fans complained online that the book included typos and other errors. Representatives for Target and Swift did not immediately respond to requests Wednesday for comment.
As measured by Circana, which does not include audio and e-book sales, the only nonfiction book to have a better debut than “Eras” is the first volume of Barack Obama’s presidential memoirs. Obama’s “A Promised Land” sold just over 816,000 copies in 2020, but, unlike the Swift book, was available through all major outlets.
Swift has arranged exclusive, non-traditional releases before. For her “Eras” concert film, which came out in 2023, she bypassed Hollywood studios and worked directly with AMC Theatres and Cinemark Theatres. “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” has made more than $200 million at the box office and stands as the highest grossing concert movie in history.
Even before the “Eras” book, Swift has been a mini-genre in the publishing industry, the inspiration for biographies, romance fiction, fashion, coloring books and a cocktail recipe collection, “Shake It Up.” Another top seller of 2024, according to Circana, is Wendy Loggia’s “Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography,” designed in the tradition of such Little Golden favorites as “The Three Bears” and “The Whispering Rabbit.”
