Taylor Swift Asked Tom Hanks to Sign ‘Toy Story’ VHS Tape
Taylor Swift asked Tom Hanks to autograph her 'Toy Story' VHS tape.
Swift's beau wasn't with her at the movie premiere, where she asked Hanks and Tim Allen to sign a copy of the 1995 Toy Story VHS tape she brought with her.
Hanks told USA TODAY that Swift should have “brought in the VHS machine so that we could have signed it, as that could go into the Smithsonian Institute as well.”
He also revealed he didn't get an advanced listen of her tune for the film, “I Knew It, I Knew You.”
When it was released on Friday, June 5, it set a Spotify record for the most-streamed country song by a female artist on a single day.
"We were told the day it came out," Hanks told E! News. "They don't trust us, and there is a brain trust that goes along that I am not a part of. So, I just do what I'm told."

Taylor Swift seemed like a 'genuine fan' of Tom Hanks during their interaction.
Body language expert Darren Stanton noted the Grammy winner seemed starstruck by the movie icon at the premiere.
“This is a very different side to Taylor,” Stanton said as he analyzed her red carpet pose. “When we usually see her in the limelight, she often has her hands on her hips and her feet spread apart, which suggests she’s very much on duty and in work mode.”
He continued, “It was really interesting that in these shots, particularly during her interactions with Tom Hanks, she came across as a genuine fan. It’s not often we see Taylor being quite so reserved and understated. It’s definitely a different side to her and one that shows real humility.”
Taylor Swift Performed at the Premeire
The musician performed 'I Knew It, I Knew You' at the premiere.
Swift performed “I Knew It, I Knew You” at the event.
“It means the world to me to be a small part of the universe of these films,” Swift told the audience. “Toy Story 5 is my favorite of all the Toy Storys. I’m so lucky I get to be a part of this.”
She also took the stage to perform “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” with Randy Newman.
According to Variety, she said of the movie: “It’s insanely beautiful. It’s a masterpiece.”

She added, "I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?"
