LOS ANGELES — Pop superstar Taylor Swift ​made a surprise appearance in Hollywood on Tuesday at the premiere of ‌animated movie "Toy Story 5."

Swift sat at a piano in ⁠a full-length gown ​on stage at the ⁠Dolby Theatre and sang "I Knew It, ‌I Knew ‌You," the song she wrote for the ⁠new "Toy Story" installment. ⁠The singer said she has been a longtime fan of the movie franchise.

"It means the world to me to be a small part of these ‌films," she said.

Swift then ​introduced another unexpected guest: Randy Newman, composer of the musical scores and many of the breakout songs from the "Toy Story" movies. The pair sang a duet of "You've Got a Friend in Me," ​one of Newman's hits from the ‌first "Toy Story" in ‌1995.

Earlier, ⁠Swift posed on the red carpet with Tom Hanks, Joan Cusack and other members of the "Toy Story" voice cast.

"Toy Story ‌5" will be ​released by Walt Disney's ‌Pixar Animation Studios ⁠on June 19.
