Taylor Swift Debuts ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’ in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’

Taylor Swift premiered ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’ in the latest episode of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The re-recorded and revamped version of the 2017 hit appears in the opening scene of the penultimate episode of the series. Check it out below.

“I’ve been wanting to use a Taylor song for many years on the show and we finally found the perfect spot for a track from her, and I’m so glad we waited because there could not be a more perfect song for a more perfect moment,” star and executive producer Elisabeth Moss told Billboard. “Taylor has been such an inspiration to me personally. As a Swiftie myself, and I think I can speak for [co-star] Yvonne [Strahovski] and our entire cast as well, who are all Swifties, it’s such an honor to be able to use her music in the final episodes of our show.”

Moss continued, “I said to my editor, Wendy [Hallam Martin], ‘I really want to find a place for a Taylor track in the last two episodes of the show’ and we wanted to find a music queue for the opening of nine, and all the credit goes to Wendy for picking this track for this moment!”

Handmaid’s Tale editor Wendy Hallam Martin added: “In trying many songs for this specific moment in our series and knowing how much Lizzie wanted a strong female voice and message, Taylor was really the artist that delivered both lyrically and tonally. Our badass main character June in this scene, really was saying ‘look what you made me do’ and the song couldn’t have been more on point. A perfect pairing. When I laid the song up against the scene, it just landed perfectly thematically, rhythmically and magically hit all the edit points which sometimes happens if it’s meant to be.”

Reputation is just one of two albums Swift has yet to re-record in an effort to reclaim her masters, having previously completed Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), and 1989 (Taylor’s Version). She previously teased ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ in an episode of Apple TV+’s The Dynasty: New England Patriots, and in August 2023, offered a glimpse of ‘Delicate (Taylor’s Version)’ on Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty. Her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, came out in April 2024.
