Like many other Taylor Swift fans around the world, I'm getting ready for what they have in store for us with the new single written for «Toy Story 5» . While we wait for "I Knew It, I Knew You" to drop on Friday, I've been thinking about other Taylor Swift songs that, judging by their titles, Same could be suitable for the cartoon "« Toy Story ».
To be clear, I don't think any of the songs listed below will be on the new movie's soundtrack, and I don't believe any of them were inspired by the previous movies. «Toy Story» . From a textual point of view, it simply wouldn't make sense. But if we consider only names, it's quite funny to imagine the connection with Toy Story« . And this is a way to pass the time while we wait for the exit. «Toy Story 5» in 2026, June 19.

My son only breaks his favorite toys.
This may seem obvious, but I also have to give credit to Pixar for this connection. When the album first came out The Tortured Poets Department (and it was full of heartbreaking lyrics), the studio shared a stunning collection of images linking track titles from Taylor's album to some of their films. Naturally, they dedicated the song "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys" to Sid from "« Toy Stories «"Let's face it, Andy would never break his favorite toys, but Sid got a creepy thrill out of it.

A cowboy like me
Seriously, "Cowboy Like Me" is simply one of Taylor's best and most underrated songs, and I won't tolerate any arguments against that. Album track Evermore fits perfectly with Andy and Jessie, whose paths cross in «Toy Story 2» . As the saying goes, like attracts like, and Jessie knew at first glance that Woody was a cowboy, just like her.

It's nice to have a friend.
Despite the harmlessness of the song «It’s Nice To Have A Friend», especially when compared her with Randy Newman's iconic composition "You've Got A Friend In Me," I decided to approach this issue with more irony and dedicate it to Lotso from "« Toy Story 3 «", who may be many things, but he is definitely not a friend who is nice to have.

Invisible thread
Wait... Woody has a string! Okay, but that's not it. the only one The reason I like the "Invisible Rope" cowboy look. Let's not forget that it was because of this rope that Woody got hung up in the tree in «Toy Story 3» , finding himself right in Bonnie's path. As if something cosmic connected him to her.

I can fix it (no, really I can).
For this song TTPD we're going back to the original cartoon "Toy Story" »", because there are no toys that can quite so convincingly deliver the line "I can fix it (yes, I really can)" as the completely non-cannibalistic, completely misunderstood outcast toys from Sid's house who manage to sew Buzz's arm back on.

Right where you left me.
This is perhaps the most literal choice of all, and I think this bonus track Evermore Perfectly fits into the life of any toy from the movies "« Toy Story» . In the end, although they can talk and move when there are no people around, they always end up exactly where their owner left them.

My
I saved "Mine" for last because it made me smile the most. From the very first film, Woody makes it clear that he's proud to be Andy's. Being a toy for children is his greatest goal and source of pride. And nothing says "mine" better than seeing Andy or Bonnie's name written on his shoe.
There is less than a day left until the release of the song «I Knew It, I Knew You», and until the premiere «Toy Story 5» in theaters for just a few weeks (check out the trailer!), so there's plenty to look forward to!
