It’s a small world, after all, and you’ll find Swifties even in the Disney universe.
Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has not only captivated fans through song but also aesthetically, prompting a wave of creative tributes from some rather unexpected sources.
Enchanted by the trend, entertainment giants Disney and Pixar have joined the celebration by releasing their own unique takes on the album, emulating the distinctive sepia duotone style of the pop sensation’s album artwork to feature characters from some of their most beloved films.

In (Disney’s Version) and (Pixar’s Version), Swift’s new song titles have been paired with stills from favorites such as Hercules, Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Inside Out, Tangled, Big Hero 6, Elemental, and Monsters Inc.

For instance, a visual of Ariel and Prince Eric in an embrace is paired with the title, But Daddy I Love Him. The Pixar counterpart revisits this concept with Ember and Wade of Elemental—polar opposites who fall in love.

These lighthearted crossovers aren’t completely random. The Taylor Swift | Eras Tour concert film is currently streaming on Disney+, creating a natural connection. It’s a Love Story that kind of makes sense.
