The Grammy-winning singer is all set to lighten up the upcoming installment of iconic film with her mesmerizing vocals as she made a huge announcement on Monday, June 1.
Taking to her Instagram account, the Back to December singer shared that she has written and recorded an original song titled I Knew It, I Knew You for Disney and Pixar’s upcoming animated film Toy Story 5.
“It’s a Toy Story,” she wrote alongside promotional images connected to the film. “You knew it! My new original song ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ for Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 will be yours on June 5th.
