\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s new Toy Story 5<\/em> single \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d is already breaking records<\/a>, but it almost didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n The 36-year-old superstar was not initially interested in creating an original song for the movie until a Pixar producer named Jessica Choi<\/strong> wrote her a letter<\/a> to give her some context to the film and why it would be so meaningful to have Taylor<\/strong> working on the project. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m fully aware that Austin<\/strong> has already discussed writing an original song for the film so there is absolutely no pressure if you continue to decide this isn\u2019t the right time, but we would certainly kick ourselves if we didn\u2019t give you some background on the film and the team we\u2019ve fought to build,\u201d she started her letter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Jessica<\/strong> shared some background on herself and her time at Pixar, revealing she joined Toy Story 5<\/em> as an \u201coutsider\u201d after working on big franchise films like Thor: Ragnarok<\/em>, Avatar<\/em>, and Cats<\/em>. <\/p>\n \u201cMy then goal was to work with strong female creatives on equally big films focused around a female protagonist,\u201d she shared, noting that she, too, initially hesitated to join Toy Story 5<\/em> since it has been a historically male-centered franchise. But the script made her realize there was \u201can opportunity to change that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are so inspired by your journey carving a path in a male dominated industry and advocating for it through music, and we believe if Jessie were not but a tiny toy, she would be equally inspired and would also have the whole world in the palm of her hand,\u201d Jessica<\/strong> continued, adding that they had made \u201chuge efforts\u201d to \u201cbuild a team around Jessie that could do her justice.\u201d<\/p>\n Jessie, voiced by Joan Cusack<\/strong><\/a>, is the cowgirl doll who takes the lead in the fifth movie.<\/p>\n Fans are already wondering if Taylor<\/strong>\u2018s song could earn her an Oscar and\/or Grammy.
