Taylor Swift Steals the Show at 'Toy Story 5' Premiere with Dazzling Dress
More like Tay Story.
Taylor Swift was the guest of honor at the “Toy Story 5” world premiere at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre on Tuesday, looking all dolled up in an off-the-shoulder, crystal-embellished Erdem dress.
Hailing from designer Erdem Moralioglu’s fall 2026 collection, the songwriter’s patchwork mini features a corseted bodice, a pannier skirt and romantic ties at the arms, along with a raw hem.
In addition to her signature red lip, Swift finished her premiere look with a single looped side braid and a necklace suspended with a diamond horseshoe pendant — no doubt a nod to “Toy Story” cowgirl Jessie.
The 14-time Grammy winner contributed a new original song to the Pixar sequel, “I Knew It, I Knew You.”
Billed by Disney as “a return to Taylor Swift’s country roots,” the tune was inspired by Jessie’s journey in the film franchise, and co-written and co-produced with longtime Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff.
“Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once,” Swift wrote on Instagram on June 5, the song’s release date.
“[Antonoff and I] wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods.”
The “Cruel Summer” songstress even seemed to tease a new country-tinged style era to match her latest project’s sound, posing for promotional photos in rustic wide-leg pants, an embroidered patchwork jacket and the curly hairstyle that’s become closely associated with her 2006 debut album.
The floral sundress she sported in another snap announcing “I Knew It, I Knew You” even reminded many fans of Swift’s laid-back look from her “Tim McGraw” single artwork.
Could “Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version)” be the next music release on the superstar’s schedule? One thing’s for sure: She’s already dressing the part.
