Taylor Swift hymn explodes in Handmaid's Tale episode

Taylor Swift's look what you made me (Taylor's version), was the focus of the history of the handmaid, and it has freaked out fans for the right reasons.

The newly recorded version of her legendary revenge hymn was blown up during the opening scene of the ninth episode with the title “Execution”, which is also the penultimate episode of the entire Hulu series. It wasn't just a music cue. It was a moment.

In this scene, June, played by Elisabeth Moss, a group of handmades leads in a massive coup against Gilead, the twisted, fascist regime that has taken over America in the dystopian world of the show. While the resistance movement explodes in action, Swift's song hits like a truck. The texts reflect June's feelings perfectly, anger, authorization and billing. It is basically the soundtrack of your fight.

And here is the kicker: This is not even the first time that you have done what you have to do (Taylor's version) has shown itself on the screen. It was used in the 2023 trailer for Amazon's Series Wilderness, but the history of the Handmaid used it extensively and made it a brave, cinematic choice.

Elisabeth Moss, who led this episode and acted as a executor, said in an interview with the Hollywood reporter that she had wanted to use a Taylor Swift track for years. “I really want to find a place for a Taylor track in the last two episodes of the show,” she told her editor Wendy Hallam Martin. And they found the absolute perfect. Moss added: “Taylor was such an inspiration for me personally … and I think I can speak for Yvonne [Strahovski] And our entire line -up, which are all Swifties. It is an honor to be able to use your music. “

The editor Wendy Hallam Martin said that she tried several songs for this moment, but always came back to Swift. “Taylor knew how much Lizzie wanted a strong voice and message of a female voice, and was the artist, who delivered both lyrical and sound,” she said. “June in this scene really said:” Look what you did to me “, and the song could no longer have got to the point.”

Of course, this has sent Swifties into complete speculation mode. Rumors now have rumors that the call (Taylor's version) will finally come, and Swift could submit the news to the American Music Awards next week. The rerecord would be the fifth of six expected Taylor Swift albums, which is renewed by their old label deal with Big Machine Records. The only one who was left afterwards would be her debut from 2006. The entire resumption of Saga began because of the massive dispute over her masters, but we have been real, Taylor converted a flex from it.

Every version of Taylor has made insane numbers. 1989 (Taylor's version) exceeded the original debut week and was classified as one of the best -selling albums in 2024. If Reputation TV really falls, it will be a cultural reset. Again.

The history of the Handmaid now races to his last episode, which will be broadcast on Tuesday, May 27th. And excludes the show with a Taylor Swift Power Move? Iconic. Taylor's music is more than just a background track, but a signal. A mood. A warning. And this week it shook the TV world.
