\n\tFor a movie about toys and their human counterparts, the Toy Story<\/a><\/em> franchise has done impressive work of becoming a cornerstone of American nostalgia. Multibillion dollar global revenue aside, the films hold a warm, fuzzy spot in pop culture, with Woody and Buzz Lightyear returning with each reiteration to pull at our heartstrings.<\/p>\n \n\tIn the upcoming Toy Story 5 <\/em>film, set to release June 19, however, cowgirl Jessie takes front and center. This week, the upcoming movie got the Taylor Swift<\/a>-treatment and the star bestowed both film and music fans with the country-tinged and sentimental, \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You.<\/a>\u201d The track, which draws inspiration from Jessie, was followed by a music video<\/a> on Friday, which features footage from the film and highlights the Pixar series\u2019 beloved character as she and the crew confront the biggest rival in playtime history: A tablet called Lilypad.<\/p>\n \n\tThe choice edits \u2014 which features Jessie riding a horse under a blazing sun, antics with Woody and Bullseye, hints of a budding romance with Buzz, near-death experiences with a garbage truck, and glimpses of blissful possibilities \u2014 may stir up weepy, feely emotions for Nineties kids and beyond.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWriting this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once,\u201d Swift wrote in an Instagram post alongside a video of herself as a little girl wearing a cowgirl hat and boots.<\/p>\n
