It’s been over a week since attendees at the world premiere of “Toy Story 5” were treated to a surprise debut performance of “I Knew It, I Knew You,” the original song by Taylor Swift. As the film concluded and audiences heard the song play over the end credits, the screen lifted to reveal Swift seated at a piano, giving the first live performance of the track.

But the surprises didn’t end there. After her performance, Swift introduced the film’s composer, Randy Newman, and together they performed the beloved and iconic song “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
