A hidden duet surfaces on the series’ newly released mixtape, pairing the actor with Horan’s vocals on a classic cover.
The first new music since 2024’s *Saviors* leads a 30-track compilation tied to the band’s upcoming comedy film, *NIMRODS*, co-produced by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool.
The singer debuted the Oscar-positioned ballad “I Knew It, I Knew You” before trading verses with the Disney legend on “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
“I Knew It, I Knew You” is a country-tinged cut that ties Pixar’s cowgirl to Swift’s own beginnings, without nostalgia for its own sake.
VFX supervisor Thomas Jordan revealed at SXSW London that a “decoy version” of the animated film was used to keep “I Knew It, I Knew You” a secret from most of the production team and early audiences.
The new song, written with Jack Antonoff, draws on Jessie’s storyline and Swift’s own childhood nostalgia, arriving alongside a tightly run merch strategy.
The song “I Knew It, I Knew You” sees Swift rewriting the sound of the Pixar franchise with Jack Antonoff. Three CD editions and a June 5 release leave no doubt it’s a deliberate statement.
The composer’s piece for the artist’s film installation arrives as a sparse, vocal-led meditation on media and memory.
The singer and actor will appear in the next film from the director of ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, continuing his selective path in cinema.
