Taylor Swift closed the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Oct. 17 with four songs — her first event ever associated with the Motion Picture Academy, and an unmistakable opening move in a campaign for her first Oscar nomination. “I Knew It, I Knew You,” her Toy Story 5 song written with Jack Antonoff, is eligible for Best Original Song. To be there, she skipped a Chiefs game. Lyla on what the campaign looks like, why the gala is the room that matters, and the behind-the-scenes clip from the Patient Zero set that fans can’t stop watching.

🏆 Despite 14 Grammys, Swift has never been nominated for an Academy Award

🎬 The setlist: “I Knew It, I Knew You,” “Blank Space,” “Love Story” and “The Fate of Ophelia” — the last one aimed squarely at Grammy voters

🤝 The gala is co-chaired by Steven Spielberg, Kate Capshaw, Tom Ford and Robert Rodriguez; the night honored Charlize Theron, Colman Domingo and John Carpenter

🧸 She wrote the song in a day after an early screening — “got the songwriter zoomies,” she said — inspired by Jessie, after first seeing Toy Story at five

🏈 Her first missed Chiefs game since the wedding. A source close to her: “Taylor loves cheering for Travis, but this weekend was about Taylor”

💛 A new behind-the-scenes clip shows Travis on the Patient Zero set, filmed in March, months before the wedding

👗 Still no wedding dress photos, now nearly four months out
