Taylor Swift Breaks Record For Most Streamed Country Song on Spotify

Taylor Swift has broken another major record with her new Country track “I Knew It, I Knew You” on Spotify.

On June 5, the streaming service took to Instagram to announce that the 36-year-old superstar’s new song “became the most-streamed country song in a single day by a female artist in Spotify history.”

“I Knew It, I Knew You” is the newest song from Swift and will be featured in Pixar‘s “Toy Story 5,” set to release in theaters on June 19. Along with the release of the new song, the “You Belong With Me” singer took to Instagram to share a nostalgic video of herself dressed in a cowgirl costume, with the new track playing in the background.

“Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time,” Swift wrote in her caption. “Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a ‘Toy Story’ kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.”

Swift thanked “Toy Story 5” director Andrew Stanton for “imagining me for this, all those years ago, when you wrote this newest film.” She also thanked composer Randy Newman “for the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you've meticulously woven over the years.”

She also revealed that “I Knew It, I Knew You” was co-written with Swift’s longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, who helped write “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.”
