🖤 Taylor Swift’s Darkest Anthem Returns in a Chilling Scene from Hulu’s Dystopian Hit

Taylor Swift made headlines yet again this week as her re-recorded version of “Look What You Made Me Do”—known as Taylor’s Version—was featured in the premiere episode of Season 6 of The Handmaid’s Tale. The episode aired on May 19, 2025, and immediately sparked a frenzy among fans and critics alike.

The song was featured during the opening of the episode, where handmaids are seen marching in silence—setting a haunting tone that perfectly matched Swift’s dark, defiant anthem from her 2017 Reputation era.

This marks the first official release from the yet-to-be-announced Reputation (Taylor’s Version), one of only two remaining re-recordings Swift has not yet released.

🎤 Elisabeth Moss on Collaborating with Swift

The Handmaid’s Tale lead actress and executive producer Elisabeth Moss, a known Swift fan, confirmed that the inclusion of the track was years in the making.

“Taylor’s music, especially from Reputation, just fits this world of resistance and survival. It was an honor to feature her song in such a pivotal moment,” Moss said in an interview.

Wendy Hallam Martin, the show’s Emmy-winning editor, praised the sequence, explaining how the rhythm and tone of the song matched the visuals perfectly.

“The way ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ builds tension aligned flawlessly with our scene—it elevated the emotional weight we were trying to capture,” Martin said.

The fusion of Swift’s bold lyrics with the show’s dystopian themes made the scene one of the most talked-about television moments of 2025.

🐍 Reputation (Taylor’s Version) Incoming?

With the song now officially debuted, Swifties are more convinced than ever that a full Reputation (Taylor’s Version) album drop is imminent. Fans are speculating that an official announcement may come during the 2025 American Music Awards, set to take place next month.

Online forums exploded with discussion after the episode aired, with theories ranging from midnight drops to visual album hints.

“This was a strategic move. Taylor doesn’t do anything accidentally,” one Reddit user commented on r/TaylorSwift.

📀 What’s Left in the Vault?

Taylor has already re-released four albums under her Taylor’s Version banner:

Fearless (TV)
Red (TV)
Speak Now (TV)
1989 (TV)

With Reputation and her 2006 debut album remaining, this drop marks the beginning of the end of Swift’s re-recording journey—a mission she began in 2019 to reclaim ownership of her masters.
