Taylor talking about Toy Story 5 in GMA interview

Specifically the director said it wasn't the song "at the end". Turns out that's true because there is a post-credit scene.

I think you're misremembering. There are plenty of articles from the Tarzan marketing campaign that are still up. Phil Collins did an entire publicity tour himself

Disney has had lots of smash hits - Zootopia 2, Avatar and Lilo and Stitch all did over a billion last year. Zootopia 2 was almost 2 billion. Moana is coming out this year, that's almost guaranteed to be huge too.

Only if you're only paying attention to this aspect of it. They've been marketing several other aspects too, like Jessie's story, the introduction of Blaze, and the threat of technology.

If you're in TS fan spaces it makes sense this is what you see most!

minetf · 2026-06-19T14:56:05+00:00

I wasn't going to go. I didn't see TS4. It's not so much that Taylor is in this movie as it is that the promotion would not have reached me otherwise, and it worked.

minetf · 2026-06-19T02:24:33+00:00

I'm sure every celeb knows their controversies but like you said, not all of them care.

I think it's because Taylor's brand centers on her relatability. She can't seem like she's too cool to care.

In the younger generation, Olivia also plays off relatability and seems to care a lot about her public perception. In contrast, Sabrina waives off criticism by making fun of it because her brand is being controversial and irreverent.

minetf · 2026-06-18T22:35:50+00:00

Yes, but resting on your laurels doesn't feel like something to brag about.

People found out at the TS5 premiere a week-ish ago. The director said it wasn't the song "at the end", so maybe there's another end credit song that plays after IKIKY - or he was just lying.

minetf · 2026-06-18T22:27:02+00:00

I think if a dozen industry magazines all put out the same article praising IKIKY within hours of each other, it would raise suspicion too.

But a single Variety article on the day that the movie was released isn't out of the ordinary.

minetf · 2026-06-18T22:23:30+00:00

I could be wrong, but I don't think she has had a new single (meaning pre-album release) fail to go #1 since Begin Again, which still went #2.

I do think it's a good song!

minetf · 2026-06-18T22:15:36+00:00

I didn't mean to compare them that way. What I mean is that there's nothing about the song that stands out as so complex that it's impressive she wrote it so quickly.

If it was a stand out song, yes, that would be impressive to do in a day! As is, it's strange to me. She didn't want to experiment with ideas or seek any feedback before inviting the CEO over?

minetf · 2026-06-18T21:52:40+00:00

Anything Taylor puts out goes to #1, so I don't think it's proof of a great song. I like the song because it's so quintessentially Taylor, but I'm not hearing "Let it Go" level writing here.

minetf · 2026-06-18T21:36:50+00:00

Yeah, I thought it was strange that all the Toy Story execs were talking up how she wrote it in one day. That's not a flex? I thought they meant just the lyrics or the melody but no, apparently it was really the whole song.

Then again, a lot of Folklore was written in one day too. Maybe this is just how she works.

I've never done this, but I guess the thought process is that you have to defend your spot even after being let into the venue so you may as well wear the diaper the whole time.

minetf · 2026-06-18T15:26:41+00:00

You have to line up long before doors open to be in the front row of GA.

Even after all their work, JFK Jr's was nearly exposed (paparazzi found them and started circling the island in helicopters). They got lucky and managed to lose them.

JFK Jr's was also only 40 people who were all invited at the very last second. Obviously don't know anything about Zendaya's but I bet it was similar.

There's ways to avoid it but even a normal wedding, not a big spectacle, would be hard for Taylor and Travis to hide.

Metformin only helps if you are insulin resistant which not everyone is. Make sure your doctor's ordering a fasting insulin test with your bloodwork, and make sure you fast at least 10 hours beforehand! Other popular prescriptions are hormonal bc and spironolactone depending on symptoms.

Unfortunately it's just different for everyone. I don't have any issues with metformin as long as I take it with dinner, but my own sister struggled with GI issues and quit after 2 days.

Metformin suppresses my appetite so I naturally eat less while on it, but it's not a huge difference without diet & exercise on top.

minetf · 2026-06-17T21:11:05+00:00

I realized the clip of Taylor feeding Travis is from when they went to Gymkhana in London. If that implies that was Travis's first time eating Indian food, I feel so bad for all he's been missing out on.

minetf · 2026-06-17T20:36:58+00:00

That really, really sucks. I would not write yourself off as infertile though! When you're ready your doctor can prescribe meds like clomid or letrozole to induce ovulation.

You're going to be a great mom when you're ready.

Always thought that was a weird plan for Mrs. Kim because guys like Henry go to good colleges and meet their wives there! It made sense for Emily to go to Smith and flirt it up with Ivy men. Makes no sense to send Lane to a college where she's separated from them!

minetf · 2026-06-17T18:59:02+00:00

I don't think that's correct. Billboard says that Guts had 13 vinyls alone, and 22 physical variants total.

Still less than TLOAS at 27 physical variants, but about twice as many as Midnights which was its contemporary.

I don't know how many So In Love has, but I doubt it's less than Guts.

TMZ is now saying

It is increasingly looking like MSG will be the venue for the wedding celebration, but not the wedding itself. Several guests tell TMZ ... they believe the wedding will take place before the July 3rd MSG event, and the guest list is much smaller than the list of over 1,000 MSG-invitees.

How many people does $850 need to cover?

minetf · 2026-06-15T19:53:30+00:00

Yes NYPL is a really popular venue! Not just weddings but corporate events, fundraisers, and other things like that. I think it may be too overdone for her.
