Taylor Swift’s fans got a thrilling surprise while watching the latest episode of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.
The singer finally released a track from her highly anticipated Reputation (Taylor’s Version) album. Her song ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’ was used in the opening scene of season six’s ninth episode.
The scene depicts Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne leading a revolt against the Commanders of Gilead.
Her fans were ecstatic, especially appreciating the episode’s rebellious theme as a poetic parallel to Taylor’s fight for her music rights.
Swifties have eagerly been awaiting an announcement for Reputation (Taylor’s Version) since it became eligible for re-recording in 2022.
Taylor’s Version albums are re-recorded versions of her first six studio albums: Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation.

The star has been e-recording the albums to own the master recordings and have greater control over her music, after the originals were sold without her consent.
One fan wrote on X: ‘Taylor: Reclaims music rights. Also Taylor: Soundtracks a rebellion. Us: Standing, clapping, crying.’
‘OMG WE ARE EXCITED FINALLY,’ another chimed in.
Elisabeth revealed how the moment came about, telling Billboard, ‘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.’
‘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.’
‘I said to my editor, Wendy, “I really want to find a place for a Taylor track in the last 2 episodes of the show” and we wanted to find a music queue for the opening of 9, and all the credit goes to Wendy for picking this track for this moment!’
Elisabeth previously attended one of Taylor‘s Eras Tour shows with co-star Bradley Whitford back in November 2024.
