Shepard, promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for every content. It's buttoned so perfectly by Taylor Swift's new song. I knew it, I knew you. I'm just curious because this one's for the Swifties, right? What do you guys think about the song? This knowledge was kept from us. We did not learn of this. Like CIA stuff.

Yeah. Close doors here not to repeat this to anybody. 24 hours ago we were pulled in and told about the... Man, these people just sound like Buzz and Woody, don't they? All right, my fault. Am I glazing? So anyways, right now, of course, we're listening to the voice actor of Buzz and Woody talk about Taylor Swift's Toy Story 5 single titled, I knew it, I knew you. And of course, as far as future chart predictions, because you know, over here, we cover the gaming and music IPs that notoriously affect the masses. I knew it, I knew you.

It's projected to be the number one song in the world. And of course, and again, to deeper analytics when it comes to that, specifically. specific track, but let's listen to the legendary voice actors talk about the Taylor Swift single. We had no knowledge. No one said, hey, we might get Taylor Swift. Nothing. So this is, this, this is, this is big stuff. Did it did it did it. This just ended. Taylor Swift. It's aligned on emotional level to me with Randy Newman's, you got a friend in me. So she drilled it. She, the song, it took me a minute and I went and because I'm used to you got a friend in me. I'm used to that level. And I go, yeah, gosh darn it. It was like hearing Judy Garland sing somewhere over the rainbow for the first time.

All right, so of course you already know they had to glaze the track. You feel me? I mean, you know, they had to show a love because at the end of day, Taylor Swift and Toy Story is a monumental collab. And when it comes to Taylor Swift, you know, we've already talked about how big of an impact Taylor Swift has had on the music industry. But if you're new to notorious mass effect, just know that over here covering the gaming and music IPs that notoriously affect the masses,

Taylor Swift is numeral uno. As objectively speaking, she is the first artist ever, the first living artist in decades with multiple albums simultaneously high on Billboard 200 and broke records for the consecutive number ones and self-dethroning on Hot 100, meaning she's only competing with herself, ladies and gentlemen. And not only that, but if you wanted recent accomplishments, to show you how big she is in his music industry. The heiress tour that happened from 2023 to 2024

became the highest gross in concert tour ever at $2 billion. So when we're talking about Taylor Swift, of course, Toy Story in his own right is a monumental franchise. But Taylor Swift, in her own right, as one individual, is just as big. And I'm not exaggerating one bit. So this is a huge collab. I think this track, along with the Disney money and marketing dollars, has the potential to break all sorts or all type of records as far as staying at number one for quite some time.

Because I believe the Toy Story film comes out June 19th, I believe. They just had a whole premiere. And speaking of the premiere, we have all type of video footage. So definitely analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with audio. But this is Taylor Swift arriving at the Toy Story 5 premiere. But before that, let me find the actual release date. because I believe the actual film comes out June 19th, but I want to be actual, like,

I want to have the actual release day just to, I don't want to start y'all, you know, in the wrong direction. All right, let me just look it up. Toy Story 5 release date. Let me see, Toy Story 5 released. Oh, it is June 19. You know what I'm saying? Shout to me.

All right, anyways. All right, so let's get back into Toy Story, let's get back into Taylor Swift at the Toy Story 5 premiere. So as you can see, Taylor Swift and all her superstar like Gloria is trying to go around the attention because I think she had some type of private access backstage and she didn't walk the main red carpet because I don't think she wanted to take away the attention from the Toy Story 5 actors. So that's Taylor Swift at the premiere. And of course, there was a lot of interesting things that happened at the premiere as not only did she give a speech to be even before that, she had, um, she had certain people who is it uh it was tom hanks tom hanks revealed that swift brought an original

vs vhs copy of her first toy story um for her for him to autograph and here's the video of that right here so basically taylor swift fanning out the toy story cast is fanning out i mean it's just a phenomenal time to be in the toy story fandom and of course there's a little as a week be a little lad. I've always had Toy Story as one of the greatest animations I've ever watched. And I think, objectively speaking, it's the first ever fully computer animated feature film. And I mean, that's just a big accomplishment in itself because it's basically innovative at that point. And everybody else is following suit as far as how did they make this happen, which is one of the reasons why the Toy Story franchise is, you know, the story is set to the side. The technical aspect being so innovative is, you know, you know, the story is.

just another Marvel. And I think a lot of people attribute that to Toy Story success. And then, of course, you have the maculence story and the voice actors. But anyways, with that being said, Taylor Swift also gave a speech at the Toy Story 5 premiere. Here it is right here. I just love to say, it means the world to me to be a small part of the universe of these films. And Toy Story 5 is my favorite of all of the Toy Stories. I'm so lucky and I get to be a part of this. Shepard. All right.

I ain't going to say none. It's her opinion. Let's keep going. And I want to thank all of, I want to thank all of the creators at Disney and Pixar for all the work they put into this film. It's insanely beautiful. It's a masterpiece. We're so lucky to get to have this film out.

Your work is amazing. And I hope you're all so proud of yourselves if you're in this room and you work on this film. Thank you so much. All right. So with that being said, of course, I did say that. Toy Story 5 is coming out June 19th, but you know, it is worldwide dreams over here. You know what I'm saying?

Shout to all the masses who enjoy all my genre coverage of the music industry. So when it comes to the international release, June 17th, Toy Story 5 will be coming out in Brazil in Spain. And June 18th, it will be coming out in Latin America just for my international audience. And of course, when it comes to Taylor Swift and her continuing the immaculate Toy Story 5 rollout, you know saying it's her favorite you know movie i can understand why you know if i had a single attached to a movie i'll probably be like hey you know what this is the best thing since sliced bread so even though i will cut her some slack or give her some slack because when it comes to toy

story five i think the approach of technology versus toys is a very interesting approach especially for a toy story movie. And this overall story could have so many ramifications as far as people coming out and talking about how AI is taken over or technology is taken over. I think Toy Story 5 has a very interesting perspective to give on technology versus toys. That's why I'm saying Toy Story 5, it may not be a stretch that it would be up there with the best toy stories because the premise is amazing. So, that means that I don't want to glow, you know, I don't want to glaze anymore. The main thing

you need to know is that this will be one of the biggest movies. I believe the first movie to cross a billion was Super Mario Galaxy, you know, the video game community taking over once again. You know what I'm saying? Just look at the state of gaming. I mean, look at it. You know, objectively speaking, the only movie to cross a billion. And you know, if I looked at my watch, you know, we're about six months into 2026, you know what I'm saying? And safe to say, the only movie that crossed the billion was a video game movie. But, you know, that's a discussion for another day. So anyways, the main reason why I said that was just, you know, gloat about the gamer fan base out there.

We're pretty, pretty massive. So with that being said, there was something else I was wanting to show. Oh, I didn't want to show this. So obviously, I do have her Instagram up. I didn't know if I wanted to read it off, but I guess I will. So when it comes to the Taylor fans, Taylor Swift. fans out there do know that her latest post on her IG, she basically captioned her Toy Story 5 like single marketing posts by saying, writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming

home at the same time. Creating something for Jesse was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a toy story kid from the age of five till now, dot dot, dot, is an adventure I plan to be on to infinity and beyond. But hold up. There's more. Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me in this. All those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Oh, imagining for me, my fault, I messed that up.

For imagining me for this all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable Randy Newman official. She actually added him. For the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and

scores you've meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world. The days are longer, the calendar's filling up, and I want to feel as good as this beautiful summer weather. That's why I've been

By we, I mean myself and my pal Jack Antonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. I knew it. I knew you from Toy Story 5. It's out everywhere now. So as far as that immaculent, very dramatic, I might add,

caption for this single. This is the actual performance, the live performance from Taylor Swift, as far as the Toy Story 5 premiere. So I'm just going to leave that up for the rest of this segment. So the reason why I wanted to talk about not only this immaculent crossover,

as far as Disney and Taylor Swift, because you already know, when it comes to Disney, having Taylor Swift on it was just a no-brainer. Because as far as the additional characters, I believe, yeah, they have Bad Bunny along with Taylor Swift in this movie. So they have the reoccurring cast as far as the main cast. And the new cast additions include Keanu Reeves, the legendary Keanu Reeves, Alan Cumming, and Bad Bunny. So safe to say, when it comes to Toy Story, they're picking up. litter was a cream of the crop. Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, objectively speaking, is the top three most impactful musicians in the musical industry. So to have those two in the same movie, only God knows what type of budget Toy Story 5 was working with. I mean, that's just insane. So

don't forget, Bad Bunny just performed at the Super Bowl, just won, I think he won best album of the year at Grammys, at the Grammys, this, you know, the past Grammys, you know, the latest Grammys. Basically, having Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny in the same movie, already read off Taylor Swift's like some of her biggest accomplishments. It's just a mammoth of a superstardom appeal in this movie. And of course, the voice acting as far as Bad Bunny, Count of Reason, Alan coming,

but still having Bad Bunny Taylor Swift in this movie is insane. So if you don't know, of course, Toy Story is no, you know, it's no slouch in itself. As far as all the main films, because if you don't know, Toy Story, the original came out in 19, 2095, Toy Story 2 came out in 1999, Toy Story 3 came out in 2010, and then Toy Story 4 came out in 2019. They basically took their time with each and every Toy Story. And of course, when it comes to the overall revenue, it is generated over $3.3 billion on a 720 million budget.

Not only that, but of course, Toy Story 3 and 4 won Best Animated Feature. the first franchise with two and Toy Story 3 was nominated for Best Picture, I'm assuming it didn't win. So when it comes to Toy Story, the franchise is just highly acclaimed. Everybody is going to arrive in droves to the theater to watch Toy Story 5. And those other things I was going to talk about when it came to the Taylor Swift and Toy Story Crossover collab. But the first thing I wanted to showcase, or not showcase, but let you know once again, future chart analytics because you know over here we get into the gaming and music IPs that notoriously affect the masses so when it comes to the future chart analytics in the music industry dated for june 10th of this year uh no of this yeah of this year um the taylor swift i knew it i knew you track is slated to be the number one most play track in the world and i'm not going to want to you 49.9 million airplay units is insane but of course we're working with the disney budget so i'm not going to say anything happened as far as you know under the table I'm just saying that the marketing budget is immaculate from Disney, and that song may stay at number one for quite some time.

You know what I'm saying? So another thing I was going to talk about was the director. So the directors and producers of Toy Story 5 talked about how the Taylor Swift inclusion came about. Attacks an email or what's out to Taylor Swift and say, hey. It was more of a wish upon a star, a prayer circle of sorts. And we were just, we were really just hoping because, you know, turns out she's a very busy woman. I'm about to say, that's an understatement. I don't know what his big boss music.

He's the head of music. He's a big music guy. He reached out and talked to the right people. And she was like, I just want to, can I see it? We were like, absolutely. Her credit, she saw the movie. The lights came up and instantly she facetimed us and wanted to do a song. Yeah.

Wait, hold on, hold on. You got a FaceTime from television. And I thought, you know what I'm saying? And I thought I was glazing. All right, my fault. My fault. Okay. Let's get back to the cover.

So, ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to Taylor Swift, Toy Story 5, the other thing you do need to know is that not only does this cast have the legendary Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, because of course you heard them at the beginning of the segment. I mean, their voices, I mean, at this point, it's just set in stone as one of the greatest voices and movie history. like a lot of action animation i don't care of it's glazed i'm just telling you like when it comes to the art of voice acting i think they are definitely the foundation and they showcase what it could look like to notoriously affect the masses just out the gate and be and have a longevity type of career doing

one particular character if that makes sense of course you know they probably do other characters but as far as me i'm not a huge movie or tv show buff so i don't know the other movies or tv shows they was in. But I do know, when it comes to Buzz and Woody, I mean, that's probably the most iconic role just from my ignorant movie TV show perspective. So when it comes to other details about the story, if you don't know, when it came to the movie, I forget, it's like a all right, here we go. The film centers around Woody, Buzz, and Jesse, and the toys facing a new technological threat. I've already talked about that. And when it comes to Woody beginning the movie separated from the group while rescuing

discarded toys that was talked about in the last Toy Story Story 4 would basically explain that if you could watch that movie. So what if you haven't already? So when it comes to Toy Story 5, Woody will be returning and that's not like a spoiler. You saw the Woody actor and everything. You was probably wondering how they're going to make that make sense. Obviously, I guess we'll see how they make that make sense.

But I think it was basically it. Let me see. You know, of course I want to. want to put a misrespect on Taylor Swift and Twight Story because I do believe this track will stay in the top five at least for quite some time. Now, of course, another thing that I basically predicted was Ariana. I'm trying to look at my coverage. So yeah, I cover Ariana and hate that, but I made you love me May 25th. As of right now, it's currently, let me see, is it right now or no, let me see. Yeah, as of right now, it's currently the most play track in the world.

So when it comes to the notorious mass effect, usually, you know, nine times at the 10, we're basically on the ball as far as these predictions of the gaming and music industry, as far as what's going to have the longevity and what's going to come out and have impact and affect the masses in a way that nobody could really understand if they're not like researching or diving deep into the industry day after day, right? So when it comes to Ariana Grande, I think she's the biggest competition when it comes to this single maybe being overtaken by that specific track because i don't know if ariana has a because right now i'm just talking about strictly strict competition for taylor swift now obviously it's

not like no beef or nothing but you know um let me see hey that i don't know if she has a music video for this does she oh she does have a music video for it okay so i don't see anything else she could do as far as promoting it other than a remix to make it overtake the taylor swift single So once again, I'm going to predict that Toy Story 5, the single from Taylor Swift, I knew it, I knew you, would end up being one of the biggest songs of 2026. And of course, when it comes to BTS Rory Ring, like I predicted that being the biggest release of 2026 when it came out and sold like 640-something thousand first week. The biggest debut in the year of 26.

I mean, Drake came in at number two with 440-something thousand first week, but of course it wasn't nowhere near BTS's R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Ring album. I'm predicting that this Taylor Swift single, along with the Disney marketing budget,

I mean, Taylor Swift by herself, but along with the Disney marketing budget, I'm predicting that this specific track would probably be one of the biggest songs of the year, and it won't be close.

So, what else? So, yeah, once again, Toy Story 5 is coming out June 19th for Brazil and Spain is coming out June 17th for Latin America. It's coming out June 18th.

Um, and I'll try to make sure I didn't miss anything because we did talk about the signing, right? Yeah, we talked about that. And then showing her, let me see. You know, just some other things about the red carpet. So here's some other pictures, I believe. Yeah, this one's from e-news. See, you bring this one up. Once again, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio.

Because right now we're currently bringing up, um, let's see, we're currently bringing up. her appearance. So Taylor Swift, this is the live, like, picture of her, like, asking for interviews. Oh, not interviews, but autographs. So she brought some type of VHS. I was like, where in the world is she going to play that? But hey, she brought it, right? She brought it, I guess.

All right, so that means, and then, of course, she was, yeah, that's basically it. Yeah, that's basically it. So, with that being said, click my link to you in my bio to follow me on my social medias. And of course, if you're on Spotify, make sure to let me know what is your favorite toy story of all time and why?
