Is Taylor Swift in Toy Story 5 as a Character?

Taylor has dipped her toe into the acting world a few times, so it wouldn’t have been a surprise if she were cast to voice one of the new characters in Toy Story 5. But that’s not the case, as it turns out.

As Swifties already know, Taylor previously voiced the character Audrey in The Lorax. She also appeared in the movies Valentine’s Day, The Giver, Cats and Amsterdam.

At the time of publication, the disclosed cast list of Toy Story 5 does not feature Taylor. It’s still possible, however, that she could just make a quick cameo at one point in the film, but we’ll have to watch the film first.

Did Taylor Swift Write a Song for Toy Story 5?

This theory was pretty likely, considering how Taylor has written songs for films in the past. Her singles “Eyes Open” and “Safe and Sound (feat. The Civil Wars)” were featured in The Hunger Games franchise.

Taylor revealed on her website that she wrote a song for Toy Story 5 titled “I Knew It, I Knew You.”

When Is Toy Story 5 Coming Out?

Toy Story 5 will be released exclusively in theaters on Friday, June 19.
