We feel it, the old version of “Look What You Made Me” cannot answer the phone at this time. The reason? The song has been completely updated and re -recorded as part of the next release of Reputation (Taylor’s version) by Taylor Swift, and was presented almost entirely in the most recent episode of The Handmaid’s Tale In Hulu.
The song appears at the beginning of the new episode, which begins with an uprising led by June Osborne (played by Elisabeth Moss) against the commanders. Accompanied by the renewed version of the main single of Reputation – With recreations of the original synthesizers of Jack Antonoff, a marked battery rate and a new vocal interpretation by a more mature and experienced swift, women remain impassive while marching in formation. In one of the most intense scenes, June manages to escape by little jumping to the back of a truck while explosions are heard.
“I wanted to use a Taylor song for many years in the series, and finally we found the perfect place. I’m glad to have expected, because there could not be a more suitable song for such a perfect moment,” said Moss, who attended a date of a date of The Eras Tour In Toronto with his cast partner Bradley Whitford. “Taylor has been a great inspiration for me, on a personal level. As a swiftie, and I also think about (my partner) Yvonne (Strahovski) and for the entire cast – which they are too – it is an honor to include his music in the final episodes of our series. I told my editor, Wendy: ‘I want We were looking for a musical track to open episode 9. All merit is from Wendy for choosing this song for this moment. ”
Wendy Hallam Martin, editor of The Handmaid’s Tale And Emmy winner said that sometimes musical synchronizations simply “are intended to happen”, and this was one of those cases.
“We tried many songs for this specific moment, and knowing how much Lizzie wanted a strong female voice and with a blunt message, Taylor was undoubtedly the ideal artist, both for her lyrics and for the tone,” said Hallam Martin to Billboard In an exclusive interview. “Our protagonist, June, in this scene is literally saying ‘Look what you made to do’, and the song could not have conceded better. It was a perfect combination. When I placed the song on the scene, he fit the thematically, rhythmically and, almost magical way, at all editing points. Sometimes it happens when it has to happen. I showed it to Lizzie and we knew the instant that was indicated.
Enjoy the initial scene of episode 9 of the sixth season of The Handmaid’s Tale “And pay attention to the new version of” Look What You Made Me Do ” – then.

Along with his homonymous debut album of 2007, Reputation It is one of the two albums that Swift has not yet returned, as part of its initiative to recover the rights of the masters of its first six albums.
