Life moves pretty fast in Taylor Swift\u2019s world. In fact, she\u2019s just revealed that she wrote, recorded and produced I Knew It, I Knew You<\/a> \u2013 her new end credits song for Toy Story 5 \u2013 on the same day that she watched an early cut of the movie itself.<\/p>\n

In a video posted on Instagram<\/a> that was captured on the day in question, we see Swift addressing the camera. \u201cKind of a hectic day,\u201d she begins. \u201cAt 11am, went to see Toy Story 5. Got so inspired, got the songwriter zoomies. Went home, wrote the end credits song for Toy Story 5. We have now produced it and I\u2019m doing vocals. It\u2019s 6.57pm.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Explaining the fast turnaround, Swift says: \u201cIn two hours, Bob Iger [CEO of The Walt Disney Company] and Tom [MacDougall, president of Walt Disney Music] from Pixar are coming to hear it. We have not recorded it yet [the vocal], and I think this is one of the most fun days of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sitting alongside Swift is recording and mixing engineer Laura Sisk, who worked alongside producer Jack Antonoff on the making of the record (Swift was a producer on the song, too).<\/p>\n

The video confirms what Swift said when I Knew It, I Knew You was announced<\/a> \u2013 that she wrote it \u201cas soon as I got home from the screening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assuming that Swift made it back around 1pm and her meeting with the execs was at 9pm, this means that her song was created in around eight hours, which is certainly pretty speedy.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re guessing that more production and mixing work was done after that, but the story provides further evidence of the worth ethic that has taken the star to the very top of her game. Swift by name, swift by nature.<\/p>\n
