Is Taylor Swift involved in Toy Story 5? Fans are beginning to wonder after a mysterious “TS” billboard promoting the upcoming film appeared to offer some clues.
On Friday (May 29), a cryptic billboard featuring the initials “TS” were unveiled against the Disney/Pixar franchise’s iconic blue sky and white cloud backdrop. Swifties quickly took notice, with eagle-eyed fans counting 13 clouds on the display and speculating that the number could be a nod to Swift’s famously lucky number.
“13 clouds and ‘TS’? one fan wrote on X. “Swifties know that can’t be a coincidence. The theories are about to go crazy.”
Speculation intensified on Saturday (May 30) when Pixar shared an image of the billboard on social media, accompanied by an image of Toy Story character Jessie showing off some dance moves atop the outdoor display.
“She’s making those moves up as she goes!” Pixar captioned the Instagram post, a line that many fans interpreted as a lyrical reference to Swift’s 2014 hit “Shake It Off.”
“I’m dancin’ on my own (dancin’ on my own)/ I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go),” Swift sings on the track, which spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“SHAKE IT OFF REFERENCE, TAY STORY IS HAPPENING!!!” one Swiftie wrote in the comments.
“A NEW TAYLOR SWIFT SONG IN TOY STORY 5 IS ACTUALLY THE CURE TO HEAL MILLENNIALS,” another added.
“THE DISNEY SWIFTIE ADULTS ARE LIVING FOR THIS!!!” a third commented.
Adding to the intrigue, the cover art for 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming platforms appeared to have been updated at press time, with the original seagulls in the background replaced by clouds.
Billboard has reached out to Swift’s representatives for comment.
Earlier this week, Pixar announced that Bad Bunny has joined the voice cast of Toy Story 5 as a character named “Pizza with Sunglasses.”
The upcoming installment reunites several longtime franchise favorites, including Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and Joan Cusack as Jessie. The animated movie follows the toys as they confront modern technology and compete for Bonnie’s attention against a high-tech device named Lilypad.
Toy Story 5 is scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 19.
