Curated by: Hazed Reactions (68 videos)
Taylor Swift is officially part of the Toy Story universe, and Swifties... we have A LOT to talk about. In this completely uncut and unedited reaction, Rick and Corrina sit down to listen to Taylor Swift's brand new original song, "I Knew It, I Knew You," written for Toy Story 5. What starts as a simple song reaction quickly turns into a nearly hour-long conversation about Taylor Swift, Pixar, Disney, Easter eggs, Jessie, fan theories, childhood nostalgia, and what this collaboration could mean for the future. Before we even get to the song, we dive into the months of clowning that led up to this moment. From the mysterious blue sky and cloud imagery on Taylor's website to the endless fan theories circulating online, Swifties once again proved why no fanbase catches details quite like they do. Rick also talks about being skeptical throughout the countdown and watching Swifties connect the dots in real time before ultimately seeing those theories become reality. Once we hear "I Knew It, I Knew You," we break down the lyrics, discuss the emotional connection to Jessie, and talk about why the song feels like classic Disney storytelling while still sounding unmistakably Taylor Swift. We also spend a lot of time discussing the incredible production from Jack Antonoff and how the orchestration, instrumentation, and vocal layering bring so much warmth, emotion, and life to the track. We also explore some of the biggest Toy Story 5 theories currently circulating among fans, including the possibility that Jessie's story could involve finding Emily again after all these years—or perhaps even meeting Emily's daughter. We discuss why so many people are connecting emotionally with that idea and whether the song supports those interpretations. We also touch on theories involving Jessie and Buzz, even if we're not entirely convinced. Beyond the song itself, we spend a lot of time celebrating Pixar. From our favorite Pixar movies and characters to the impact Pixar has had on animation, storytelling, and pop culture, this episode becomes a love letter to one of the most influential studios of all time. We also talk about how special it is getting to revisit these stories as parents and experience them again through the eyes of our children. And of course, we can't help but speculate about Taylor Swift's future relationship with Disney. Is this simply a one-song collaboration? Could Taylor have a larger role in Toy Story 5? Could Disney and Taylor be building something much bigger together? What did Taylor mean when she said she's excited to be part of this universe "to infinity and beyond"? Whether you're a longtime Swiftie, a Pixar fan, a Disney lover, or someone who simply enjoys deep-dive music discussions, we're so excited to share this reaction with you. What did you think of "I Knew It, I Knew You"? And what do you think comes next for Taylor Swift and Disney? _____________________________________________________________ CHAPTERS: EASTER EGGS & PIXAR LOVE - 0:00 SONG REACTION STARTS - 22:00 TAYLOR AND DISNEY'S FUTURE - 31:00 ______________________________________________________________ FOLLOW HAZED REACTIONS: INSTAGRAM: / HAZEDREACTIONS YOUTUBE: / @HAZEDREACTIONS PATREON: / HAZEDREACTIONS DISCORD: / https://discord.gg/WWTNUyUSk
