Hulu’s Handmaid’s Tale Soundtracks Taylor Swift for Big Success

Taylor Swift’s re-recorded version of “Look What You Made Me Do,” featured in an episode of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

Is Reputation (Taylor’s Version) on the way? Swifties have been theorizing that an announcement of the album is fast approaching. That theory was given further credence on Monday night, when “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” featured prominently in a new episode of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

Taylor Swift’s most devoted fans have been anticipating the announcement from the star since Reputation became eligible for her to re-record in late 2022. This has been the longest stretch between re-records in the megastar’s discography. She released 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in October 2023. Alongside Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version), Reputation will be one of the last albums up for re-recording from her previous contract with Big Machine Records.

Fans noticed potential Easter eggs on Swift’s official merch site, with the home page reorganized as Apparel, Music, Accessories, and Sale—the first letters of which spell out AMAs. Swifties are therefore theorizing that Taylor could be gearing up to announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) at the American Music Awards on May 26.

Swift previously spoke about revisiting the album in an interview with Time in 2023. The magazine selected her as the publication’s Person of the Year. “It’s a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure,” she said of the original album. “I think a lot of people see it and they’re just like, ‘sick, snakes, and strobe lights.’” Further, she referred to the unreleased vault tracks from the project as “fire.”

Taylor Swift’s sixth studio album, Reputation was originally released in November 2017. The project contained a slew of hits for the prolific star. They include “Look What You Made Me Do,” “Ready For It?,” “End Game,” “Delicate,” “Gorgeous,” and more.
