Taylor Swift debuts re-recorded version of 'Reputation' song
Swifties tuning into the latest episode of 'The Handmaid's Tale' received a special treat.
Taylor Swift debuted 'Look What You Made You Do (Taylor's Version)' in episode nine of the popular Hulu series, 'The Handmaid's Tale'.
The re-recorded version of the track can be heard in the episode's opening scenes.
Elizabeth Moss, who plays June Osborne, told Billboard she is thrilled one of the pop princess's songs appears in the series.
“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."
Moss, who is also an executive producer, says she is a proud Swiftie.
"Taylor has been such an inspiration to me personally."
While Swift has previewed the version before, it is the first time fans have heard it in full.

Swift started rerecording her first six albums in November 2020 in a bid to own the masters to her own music.
"For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in," she wrote in a 2019 Tumblr post after Scooter Braun bought the label.
"I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future," she added.
'Fearless' was the first album to get the 'Taylor's Version' touch. The 35-year-old has also rerecorded 'Red (Taylor's Version)', 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)' and '1989 (Taylor's Version)'.
The albums featured updated vocals and included some of the songs that didn't make it onto the original versions.
Swift is reportedly working on 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' next, though she has yet to confirm her next project.
Blessed be the fruit of Taylor's version!
