Insider Look: Taylor Swift Teases ‘Reputation (TV)’ During The Handmaid’s Tale

Reputation lovers, our time is nigh. Taylor Swift debuted most of “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” on the latest episode of The Handmaid’s Tale on Monday.

Is that a little on the nose considering Swift once referred to the Reputation set in the Eras Tour as “a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure”? Yes, but what is Swift if not on the nose?

The track opens the newest episode of the dystopian drama, during which Elisabeth Moss’s character, June, leads an uprising against the Commanders (the high-ranking evil men).

In great news for the Swifties, the show played over two minutes of the track, which is more than enough to give us a sense of how the rerecord went.

It sounds pretty good! It seems basically identical to the original, which is really all you can ask for in this exercise. One person who’s really happy with it is Moss, who gushed to Billboard about getting to use the song.

“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,” Moss said in a statement. “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.”

This isn’t the first time Swift has given us a peek at Reputation (Taylor’s Version).

She previously allowed snippets of “LWYMMD (TV)” to be used in a teaser for the Amazon Prime show Wilderness and (for some reason) in the Apple TV+ docuseries The Dynasty: New England Patriots. Prior to that, “Delicate (Taylor’s Version)” appeared in an episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Hopefully the release of what is basically the full version of the album’s lead single is a sign that the rerecord is actually on the way.

And what better time for it? Reputation is all about falling deeply in love while your interpersonal drama is getting splashed on the front page.

Swap out Joe Alwyn for Travis Kelce and Kanye West for whatever is going on with the Lively-Baldoni legal battle and it’s basically 2017 again.
