Taylor Swift’s song from ‘Toy Story 5’ debuts at #1 on the Hot 100 chart

The debut of Taylor Swift’s latest track for Toy Story 5, titled “I Knew It, I Knew You,” at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 can hardly come as a surprise. This marks her ninth song to achieve this feat, solidifying her status as the female artist with the most #1 debuts. Previously, she shared the record of eight #1 debuts with Ariana Grande.

With the inclusion of “I Knew It, I Knew You,” Taylor Swift now boasts an impressive 15 #1 hits under her belt. The only artists who have surpassed her in this regard are Mariah Carey with 19 chart-topping hits and The Beatles with 20. This latest achievement has allowed her to surpass her previous tie with Rihanna, who also had 14 #1 hits.

Only the third song from a Disney film to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, “I Knew It, I Knew You” follows in the footsteps of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto in 2022 and Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle’s “A Whole New World” from Aladdin in 1993. Inspired by the character Jessie from the Toy Story franchise, the song has secured its place at the top of the charts.

This success comes on the heels of Taylor’s previous 2026 hit, “Opalite,” which also reached #1 earlier in the year. With this accomplishment, Taylor Swift stands as the sole artist to have achieved two #1 hits in 2026 so far.

In other news, it has been reported that a courtside seat at Cleveland’s Rocket Arena, where Taylor Swift was seated during Game 3 of the NBA Finals on May 23, has been auctioned off for an impressive $7,000 by the Cavaliers. In comparison, the seat occupied by her fiancé, Travis Kelce, during the same game fetched $1,405 in the same auction.

It’s evident that Taylor Swift’s talent continues to captivate audiences across various platforms, from music charts to sports events. With her latest Hit, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” soaring to the top of the Hot 100, she continues to solidify her position as one of the most successful artists of our time.
