Taylor Swift\u2019s campaign push for an Oscar<\/a> is in full swing. <\/p>\n

Swift was spotted packing on the schmooze at an all-guild\u00a0screening and Q&A of \u201cToy Story 5\u201d at Disney\u2019s downtown Manhattan offices Sunday afternoon. A spy told Page Six the \u201cBad Blood\u201d singer even followed politics\u2019 long-standing tradition of hugging babies during campaign season.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was just adorable with the little kids, hugging each of them,\u201d the source said. <\/p>\n

The love didn\u2019t end at the babies. We hear Swift was chummy with the journos in the room, including veteran New York scribe Michael Musto, who wrote<\/a>, \u201cI got to greet Taylor Swift and couldn\u2019t shake-shake-shake-shake-shake off the experience,\u201d in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n

He also gushed how Swift complimented his sweater and told him it was nice to see him again. He described the singer as \u201csweeter than shoofly pie.\u201d <\/p>\n

During the Q&A, she opened up about her and BFF Abigail Anderson\u2019s proclivity for \u201ctalk[ing] in \u2018Napoleon Dynamite\u2019 voices.\u201d She and Anderson, whom she met when they were both teenagers, \u201cstill do this\u201d impression and their \u201chusbands have to put up with\u201d it, she revealed.<\/p>\n
