Taylor Swift‘s boy only breaks his favorite toys, but it looks like the pop star is joining hers in the next Toy Story film.
The 14-time Grammy winner posted a countdown on her website that is currently ticking down to 2 p.m. ET on Monday (June 1). It’s uncertain what exactly her role in the franchise’s fifth film coming this summer will be — whether it’s contributing music or voicing a character — but a graphic of Toy Story cowgirl Jessie and a “TS” billboard using the movie title’s font both appear on the countdown, confirming Swift’s involvement.
The countdown comes after fans spent days wondering if the Eras Tour headliner was coming aboard in some capacity after Pixar posted a video of a “TS” billboard out in the wild. Animated and spliced onto the clip, Jessie does a dance next to the sign, with the caption including a reference to Swift’s hit “Shake It Off”: “She’s making those moves up as she goes!”
Several other “TS” billboards have gone up in different locations around the world, according to pictures Pixar also shared on Instagram.
Swift has some experience in the world of animated children’s films, having voiced Audrey in the 2012 adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. She’s also lent songs to a handful of movie soundtracks, most recently penning “Carolina” for Where the Crawdads Sing in 2022.
Featuring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen returning to voice their iconic characters — Woody and Buzz Lightyear, respectively — Toy Story 5 is set to hit theaters on June 19.
Swift last dropped music in October, spending 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with album The Life of a Showgirl. Lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks.
