More Taylor Swift and 'Toy Story 5' Easter eggs surface
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Pixar has dropped a new billboard for 'Toy Story 5' and it is the biggest clue that Taylor Swift is involved in the film.
A Taylor Swift and 'Toy Story 5' announcement is imminent.
At least that's what fans think after Disney and Pixar dropped new Swift-coded Easter eggs.
Billboards are popping up all over America featuring the letters 'TS'. What does that have to do with the singer, you may ask?
Each billboard is accompanied by 13 clouds.
It's famously known as Swift's lucky number, and it has appeared throughout her career.
The 'Life of a Showgirl' hitmaker's official 'Eras Tour' Instagram page also reposted the billboards.

That on its own would not be convincing enough until you put together all the Easter eggs that have been doing the rounds from around April 2026.
Let's take a look at some of them.

In early May, Swift also shared a countdown on her website, which was giving 'Toy Story' vibes. It featured the film's trademark clouds.
Swifties speculated that she recorded a song for the movie's soundtrack or voiced a new character. The countdown disappeared before the time ran out.
Shortly after, the film's producers poured cold water on the idea that 'TS 5' would feature a Taylor Swift song.
They claimed the countdown was a surprise to them, but agreed it would be "pretty amazing" IF it were true.
"The sad truth is we watched the movie being mixed last week and the song on the end was not Taylor Swift," director Andrew Stanton said, per USA Today.
IT’S OVER! 🤡☁️

That only briefly stopped the rumours. They are back in full force as the film's June release date draws nearer.
Swift's studio album, '1989', has also been thrown into the mix. Not only is it her fifth album, but a new animated cover has popped up on Apple Music for '1989 (Taylor's Version)'.
It features yellow text with a blue outline, colours which are associated with 'Toy Story 5'.
Is music from her '1989' album featured in the movie, or is it just another Easter egg?
The seagulls on the cover's album art have also been replaced with clouds.

One Easter egg could be pointing to the new character fan theory. The 'Today Show' hinted that 'Toy Story' could be getting a new friend.
The clip cuts to Swift's hit song, '... Ready For It?'

This seems to be the most plausible theory, as fans have already spotted a new pink-haired Pegasus character.
The mythical winged horse even has bangs a la Taylor Swift. It appears in the movie's final trailer.
Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen, is seen riding the horse in a scene.
Taylor Is definitely voicing the Pink Pegasus. GET READY 😭!! https://t.co/AKq7ceXBFH pic.twitter.com/VGDpY2IjD5
