In the sixth season’s ninth episode of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” broadcasted on May 19, 2025, Taylor Swift unveiled her version of the song “Look What You Made Me Do.

In the first scene of the show, you’ll find the remade tune from Taylor Swift’s 2017 Reputation album playing, as June Osborne orchestrates a rebellion among the handmaids. This revamped version includes redesigned synthesizers, a fresh vocal performance, and a modernized arrangement by Jack Antonoff.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that we’ve finally got the initial unveiling of a track from Taylor’s Version of her upcoming, as-yet-unnamed Reputation album! The arrangement encompasses the first and second verses, alongside two powerful choruses. Elisabeth Moss, the star and executive producer of our beloved show, expressed to Billboard that there couldn’t be a more fitting song for this pivotal moment. She’s shared her enthusiasm for incorporating a Taylor Swift melody in our series, especially during the final episodes, admiring its perfect placement.

When I matched the song with the scene, it fitted perfectly in terms of its theme, rhythm, and amazingly aligned with all the editing marks.” She also commented that “Taylor was indeed the artist who excelled both in terms of lyrics and tone.

First appearing in 2017, “Look What You Made Me Do” sat atop the Billboard Hot 100 for a stretch of three weeks, signaling the start of Taylor Swift’s Reputation era. This album ascended to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and boasted collaborations with Future and Ed Sheeran.

Taylor Swift has earlier released remakes of Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989, all of which hit No. 1 on the charts when they were launched. At present, only her albums Reputation and her debut from 2006 haven’t been re-recorded yet. As of now, Taylor Swift has not disclosed a release date for her remake of Reputation (Taylor’s Version.)
