Taylor Swift's latest release, "I Knew It, I Knew You," written for the upcoming film *Toy Story 5*, has achieved significant streaming milestones.

The song, which debuted on Friday, June 5, has set new single-day records across major digital streaming platforms.

On Spotify, "I Knew It, I Knew You" is now the most streamed country song in a single day by a female artist.

Apple Music also reported record-breaking numbers, with the track becoming the most-listened-to soundtrack single on its first day and the biggest country track of 2026.

Additionally, Amazon Music announced that the song had the biggest streaming day for any track so far in 2026.

These achievements highlight the substantial impact of Taylor Swift's new music on the streaming landscape.

Swift officially released the song after a week of teasing her involvement with the *Toy Story* franchise.

She shared on Instagram that she had always dreamed of writing for the characters, having adored them since childhood.

Swift stated that she "fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5" after seeing it in its early stages and wrote the song immediately afterward.

The 14-time Grammy winner penned the track's lyrics specifically for the character of Jessie, voiced by Joan Cusack.

Swift described the writing process as both a "musical departure and coming home at the same time," noting that creating something for Jessie was a new challenge that also felt natural.

This release marks Swift's first new music since her project *The Life of a Showgirl*, which spent 12 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and produced two No.

1 singles, "The Fate of Ophelia" and "Opalite."

"I Knew It, I Knew You" will be featured on the official *Toy Story 5* soundtrack, which is scheduled for release on June 19, coinciding with the movie's worldwide premiere.
