Taylor Swift Releases Look What You Made Me Do Taylor's Version in The Handmaid’s Tale Episode
No, you didn’t hallucinate it. That was Taylor Swift’s voice powering June Osborne’s latest rebellion in The Handmaid’s Tale.
And yes, it was Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version) — officially here and officially fire.
In the final minutes of Season 6, Episode 9 — titled “Execution,” because subtlety is dead — Swift’s long-awaited re-recorded anthem came blasting through a blood-pumping montage as June (played by the always-furious Elisabeth Moss) took on the Commanders. It was cinematic mayhem. And it worked.
The drop wasn’t announced, teased, or hinted. It just happened. Boom.
According to Page Six, this is the first full song from Reputation (Taylor’s Version) to see the light of day. That’s right: she didn’t do a fancy Instagram countdown or a mysterious black-and-white trailer. She just let it rip during a dystopian takedown.
Genius.
Moss, who has never been shy about her Swiftie credentials, told The Hollywood Reporter the song was “perfectly timed and gave the moment exactly what it needed.” That’s code for: it shredded.
The new version of Look What You Made Me Do is slicker. More controlled rage. Updated vocals. And synths that hit like thunder.
Over at People, fans were already melting down over the fact that Swift paired the release with a TV show about rebellion and retribution. If the old Taylor couldn’t come to the phone before, this one’s knocking on the door with a battering ram.
And that’s not even the whole story.
The episode also killed off Commander Nick Blaine (Max Minghella) and Commander Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), according to The Independent. Two major deaths. One major uprising. And a Taylor Swift track that basically scored a revolution.
The Reputation (Taylor’s Version) era has officially kicked off — not with a whisper, but with a fight scene.
The series finale of The Handmaid’s Tale airs May 27 on Hulu. If Taylor has more up her sleeve, don’t blink.
We’ve seen what she can do now.
