Taylor Swift has opened up about the somewhat chaotic recording process for her contribution to the Toy Story 5 soundtrack.

Earlier this month, the Grammy winner unveiled her single “I Knew It, I Knew You“, which features over the end credits of the new Toy Story movie.

A week after its release, the song topped the singles chart on both sides of the Atlantic, and to mark Toy Story 5’s arrival in cinemas on Friday, Taylor revealed in an Instagram post that her soundtrack cut was written and recorded over the space of one “hectic day”.

“It’s been kind of a hectic day,” she shared in a video from the day of the recording, posted on Instagram earlier this week.

“At 11am, I went to go see Toy Story 5, got so inspired, got the songwriter zoomies, went home, wrote the end credit song for Toy Story 5.

“We have now produced it, and I’m doing vocals. It’s 6:57pm. In two hours, [Disney CEO] Bob Iger and Tom from Pixar are coming to hear it. We have not recorded it yet.”

However, Taylor was quick to admit that she was embracing the chaos, claiming that it had been “one of the most fun days of my life”.
