The creators of Toy Story 5 have shut down widespread rumours that Taylor Swift has written a track for the ending credits of the film.
Rumours sparked earlier this month, when the pop star briefly posted a cryptic countdown on her website. The timer was set to run out on May 2 at 2pm, but was taken down before it had a chance to be completed.
While it wasn’t explicitly mentioned what the countdown was for, some fans were convinced that it could be a collaboration between the singer and the upcoming Toy Story film. This was mainly due to the colour scheme of the website and its inclusion of Toy Story-esque clouds, as well as the choice of font and both having the initials ‘TS’.
Others dissected her recent outfits, highlighting how she had been wearing a horseshoe necklace recently, and dressing primarily in sky blue, white, yellow, and red – colours frequently seen across the franchise.

Now, with Toy Story 5 set to arrive in cinemas on June 19, creators have addressed the viral rumours of a collaboration, and confirmed that the singer has not contributed to the soundtrack.
Speaking at the Pixar headquarters, director Andrew Stanton, co-director McKenna Harris and producer Lindsey Collins said that they were “surprised” to see the rumours getting so much momentum and added that they were “honoured” that people were convinced that the pop star would want to write new music for the movie (via USA Today).
“It would be pretty amazing,” Collins said, before Stanton clarified that Swift has not contributed to the ending song. “The sad truth is we watched the movie being mixed last week, and the song on the end was not Taylor Swift,” he said.
