Taylor Swift premieres Look What You Made Me Do re-recording during The Handmaid’s Tale

Taylor Swift Drops Re-Recorded “Look What You Made Me Do” in Chilling Handmaid’s Tale Episode

Swifties, rejoice — and shiver! Taylor Swift has once again taken control of her music legacy with the surprise release of a re-recorded version of her hit single Look What You Made Me Do, featured in a dramatic episode of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

The reimagined track made its eerie debut during the Season [insert number] premiere of the dystopian drama, underscoring a haunting montage that left viewers stunned — and fans of both Swift and the series buzzing. The new version retains the original’s dark, vengeful tone, but adds an atmospheric twist that fits perfectly within the chilling universe of Gilead.

The placement marks another savvy move in Swift’s ongoing campaign to reclaim ownership of her early catalog. Originally released in 2017 as the lead single from Reputation, Look What You Made Me Do was a defining moment in Swift’s transition from pop princess to unapologetic powerhouse. The updated version, labeled as “Taylor’s Version,” continues her bold project of re-recording her first six albums, following her highly publicized split from her former record label and the masters’ ownership dispute.

Fans were quick to spot subtle production changes and a slightly more mature vocal delivery — a nod to how far Swift has come since the song’s original release. And placing it in The Handmaid’s Tale, a show known for its themes of female agency, resistance, and survival, only deepens its resonance.

It’s not the first time Swift has used television or film to debut her re-recordings. Previous tracks have appeared in shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty and Bridgerton. But this moment feels especially symbolic — a re-recorded anthem of power and vengeance, echoing through one of TV’s most emotionally intense dramas.

So whether you’re a Swiftie, a Handmaid, or just love a good musical surprise, Radio 854 has you covered. Tune in to hear Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version) and more of the music that’s making headlines and redefining pop culture.
