Taylor Swift’s campaign push for an Oscar is in full swing.
Swift was spotted packing on the schmooze at an all-guild screening and Q&A of “Toy Story 5” at Disney’s downtown Manhattan offices Sunday afternoon. A spy told Page Six the “Bad Blood” singer even followed politics’ long-standing tradition of hugging babies during campaign season.
“She was just adorable with the little kids, hugging each of them,” the source said.
“She stayed and talked to every single person and allowed selfies and signed autographs,” another attendee added.
The love didn’t end at the babies. We hear Swift was chummy with the journos in the room, including veteran New York scribe Michael Musto, who wrote, “I got to greet Taylor Swift and couldn’t shake-shake-shake-shake-shake off the experience,” in an Instagram post.
He also gushed how Swift complimented his sweater and told him it was nice to see him again. He described the singer as “sweeter than shoofly pie.”
Swift hopes to nab her first Academy Award nomination — and win — for Best Original Song with “I Knew It, I Knew You.”
She even let the room in on life with hubby Travis Kelce, by confessing about one of her “weird” habits he has to endure during the Q&A.
During the Q&A, she opened up about her and BFF Abigail Anderson’s proclivity for “talk[ing] in ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ voices.” She and Anderson, whom she met when they were both teenagers, “still do this” impression and their “husbands have to put up with” it, she revealed.
Perhaps Swift will pull out her Dynamite impression during her acceptance speech should she scoop up an Oscar win.
Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Jan. 21, 2027.
