UPDATE: Taylor Swift & 'Toy Story' Billboard Appears, Reigniting Rumors of Singer's Involvement in Movie

Today, May 30, Pixar shared a video of a second billboard. Yesterday, May 29, a billboard teasing a possible collaboration between Taylor Swift and Toy Story is reigniting rumors that the singer is somehow involved with the fifth installment of the franchise.

Pixar shared the above video of what is clearly a new billboard with the same imagery on it, with the words “She’s making those moves up she goes!” That is a direct reference to Swift’s song “Shake It Off.”

Speculation regarding Swift’s involvement with Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 began on April 30, when a countdown briefly appeared on her website. The countdown was visible for only about 10 minutes before disappearing, but that was enough time for fans to capture screenshots and begin connecting some dots.

Now, almost a month to the date of the website mishap, a billboard has been spotted in downtown Chicago. Similar to the countdown, the billboard simply has the letters “TS” on a blue backdrop with the 13 (yes, 13) clouds—the distinct style people know as Toy Story.

While there is nothing specifically stating Taylor Swift’s involvement, fans of the singer knows she loves to be cryptic in her messaging.

The Toy Story 5 creative team recently addressed speculation that the singer was performing the ending song for the movie. In an interview with creator Shivani Khosla, Toy Story 5 director Andrew Stanton, co-director McKenna Harris, and producer Lindsey Collins were asked about the Swift rumors. Stanton said the team saw the theory and was surprised by it, calling the speculation “a freakin’ honor.” Collins said a Swift collaboration “would be pretty amazing.”

The sad truth is we watched the movie being mixed last week, and the song on the end of that was NOT Taylor Swift’s song.

So while it seems Swift is not performing the final song of the movie, she may be involved in another way.

Toy Story 5 will bring back Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the rest of the toys as they face a new challenge: children’s growing obsession with electronics. The film is notably the first mainline release in the Toy Story series to receive a PG rating.

Toy Story 5 will release in theaters on June 19, 2026, and you can check out the final trailer.

Swift has worked with Disney before, including a display of her Eras Tour costumes in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the release of her documentary on Disney+.
