After ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’ Was Used In The Handmaid’s Tale, The Swifties Can’t Stop Theorizing

by

Beware! Plot details for episode 9 of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, season 6 might reveal too much. To watch this gripping series, you’ll need a Hulu subscription. Proceed with caution!

For quite some time now, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)“. But, after hearing “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” featured in Season 6, Episode 9 of The Handmaid’s Tale, our excitement has reached a new high. In other words, we can’t help but rejoice about this development!

In Episode 9, broadcasted on the 2025 TV schedule, we find June, played by Elisabeth Moss, orchestrating the Handmaids for a rebellion against the Commanders. The climactic scene is accompanied by Taylor Swift’s famous debut single from her sixth album. Here it is:

In particular, the title for this post reads “Rebellion (June’s version),” hinting that the rendition of Taylor Swift’s song in this clip is referred to as “Taylor’s.” This instance stands out because it features a substantial portion of her song, marking the first significant snippet from Reputation (Taylor’s Version) shared with fans.

Currently, Swifties have a reputation for speculating, and we’ve often discussed the potential release of album “Rep” in various contexts. From the new bodysuit worn on the Eras Tour to hints about surprise songs, we’ve been anticipating an announcement, yet it hasn’t materialized. However, Faith Crowder’s comment on The Handmaid’s Tale’s TikTok seems distinct, suggesting that something related to “Rep” might be imminent.

6 days before the AMAs and its track 6?! Brb getting my clown suit on

Over the past few weeks, fans of Taylor Swift have been speculating that she might unveil something at the American Music Awards, airing on May 26th at 8 p.m. ET. This conjecture began when eagle-eyed TikTok users noticed an arrangement of merchandise on Swift’s online store that spelled out AMAs. More recently, hints from “Handmaid’s Tale” have fueled this ongoing speculation, leading us to suspect something related to her album “Reputation.” As jessicalynnslocum theorized.

Basically, to quote @BornThisSwift, who retweeted the “LWYMMD” and Handmaid’s Tale news:

REPUTATION TV CLOWNS GET UP

It’s hard not to notice that this track being used in a crucial scene of The Handmaid’s Tale during its sixth season, six days before the AMAs, and being the sixth song on Taylor Swift’s sixth album could be more than just a coincidence – it seems like a hint that her album “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” might be coming soon.

Many fans are riding along with the same “Getaway Car” ideas as mine, as numerous individuals have expressed their thoughts and hypotheses on related topics through social media.

  • HOW MANY DAYS BEFORE THE AMAS!?!?!!??!!?!?! –@kush07_
  • 6 days til AMAs, track 6, and her sixth album 👀 –@arshedxox
  • 6 days before AMA’s, Rep is Taylor’s 6th album, (Junes Version) bc she’s dropping Rep TV in June?? Oh the stars are aligning –@SarahBelles23
  • 6 days before the AMA’s? LWYMMD track 6? reputation is her 6th studio album? NO I AM NOT CLOWNING –TS13 on TikTok

It’s important to mention that “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” has been heard before, as it was played in the 2023 show Wilderness. Therefore, it’s possible that Taylor Swift may or may not announce Reputation again.

Indeed, we’ve been anticipating this re-release for quite some time now, and it seems as if everything, symbolically represented by those Easter egg-shaped stars, is falling into place rather serendipitously. Could it be that on this occasion, our hunch as clowns might just be correct? Could this momentous scene from The Handmaid’s Tale be hinting at the imminent arrival of Reputation (Taylor’s Version)?
