<p>The Old Taylor can&rsquo;t come to the phone right now. Why? Because She Just took over the latest episode of "The Handmaid&rsquo;s Tale". Swifties were thrilled when "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor&rsquo;s Version)" premiered during Season 6, Episode 9 of the Emmy-winning series, proving that Taylor Swift&rsquo;s influence now extends beyond music charts and into the heart of Gilead.</p>
<p>Swift&rsquo;s fans know her music hits differently, not just heard, but deeply felt. As a songwriter and storyteller, she makes her song a perfect fit for one of the most pivotal scenes in the series.</p>
<p>The 14-time Grammy winner added a cinematic touch to the episode as the reimagined version of her 2017 hit opened the show. In the scene, "the handmaid", led by June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss), rise against the Commanders. As the drama unfolds, Swift&rsquo;s fierce anthem plays, this time with updated vocals and production by longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, setting the tone for the revolution.</p>
<p>Originally from Swift&rsquo;s Reputation album, "Look What You Made Me Do" spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2017. Its comeback in "The Handmaid&rsquo;s Tale" has sparked excitement among fans, many of whom are eagerly anticipating the release of "Reputation (Taylor&rsquo;s Version)".</p>

<p><strong>But why this song, and why now?</strong></p>
<p>Elisabeth Moss, the series star and executive producer, shared with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-handmaids-tale-look-what-you-made-me-do-debut-1235975972/">Billboard</a> that this moment has been years in the making. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been wanting to use a Taylor song for many years on the show,&rdquo; Moss revealed. &ldquo;We finally found the perfect spot for a track from her. Taylor has been such an inspiration to me personally and I think I can speak for [co-star] Yvonne [Strahovski] and our entire cast. We&rsquo;re all Swifties.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Moss added that she specifically asked editor Wendy Hallam Martin to find a Taylor track for the final two episodes, and it was Martin who chose "Look What You Made Me Do" to open Episode 9.</p>
<p>Martin told Billboard that sometimes a song just &ldquo;lands perfectly,&rdquo; and this one did. &ldquo;We tried many songs, but Taylor&rsquo;s track stood out &mdash; it was lyrically and tonally perfect,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;Our badass main character June, in this scene, was really saying: &lsquo;Look what you made me do.&rsquo; When I laid the song over the footage, it matched thematically, rhythmically, and emotionally. Lizzie and I knew immediately this was the one.&rdquo;</p>
