Topping the list this week is Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You,” the superstar singer-songwriter’s new track from the upcoming Toy Story 5. In her first official return to the genre since 2021’s “I Bet You Think About Me,” Swift enlists longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff for the sweetly nostalgic tune that pulls at your heart—or toy—strings. “And I remembered I loved you/Came back when it mattered/I saw you standing there in the light of the window/Wearing that same smile/Man, it’s been a while,” she sings.
