"I am humbled that my work has resonated with audiences and critics in Busan. It’s my first international win, so I am proud. I have aspired to act in films that have something important to say, and have worked sincerely to deliver convincing performances. I hope to be part of cinema that will be remembered fondly in future."

Taylor Swift website countdown vanishes in 10 minutes, fuels Toy Story 5 buzz

Highlights

  • Taylor Swift website countdown vanished in 10 minutes, sparking fan speculation.
  • Pale blue cloud backdrop drew Toy Story bedroom comparisons among Swifties.
  • Fans think Swift may be linked to Toy Story 5 soundtrack, releasing 19 June.
A countdown timer on Taylor Swift's official website sent fans into a frenzy this week, only to vanish just ten minutes after it appeared.
The clock was set to hit zero on Saturday 2 May at 2pm ET, around 7pm UK time, but it disappeared before it ever reached that point.
Swift, 35, has not made any public statement about the countdown or what it was intended to announce.

The background behind the timer caught nearly as much attention as the clock itself.

It showed a pale blue sky streaked with hazy white clouds, an image many fans immediately associated with Andy's bedroom ceiling in the Toy Story films.
