Taylor Swift‘s run as a true action figure on the charts continues as her “Toy Story 5” song “I Knew It, I Knew You” was announced Monday as debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It’s only the third time a theme song from an animated Disney film has reached the summit, following “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin” in 1993 and, of course, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from “Encanto” in 2022.
