Taylor Swift debuts 'Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)' in new episode of 'The Handmaid's Tale'
Taylor Swift's re-recorded track Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version) has premiered in the ninth episode of The Handmaid's Tale season 6.
The revamped version of her 2017 hit soundtracks a pivotal uprising scene led by Elisabeth Moss's character, June Osborne, as handmaids confront their oppressors. The song opens the episode, capturing the intensity of June's escape and the coordinated rebellion, with a darker, refined vocal take and updated production elements inspired by the original Jack Antonoff mix.
Elisabeth Moss, who also serves as executive producer, told Billboard it was an intentional and long-awaited choice. 'I've been wanting to use a Taylor song for many years on the show and we finally found the perfect spot,' said Moss.
Editor Wendy Hallam Martin echoed the sentiment, saying the song was 'meant to be.' She credited Moss and the team for seeking a strong female voice and confirmed the track landed 'perfectly thematically, rhythmically and magically.'
This episode marks the first full-length appearance of a Reputation (Taylor's Version) track, including the first two verses and choruses. It follows previous brief previews in The Dynasty: New England Patriots and The Summer I Turned Pretty. With only two albums remaining in her re-recording project, fans speculate a major announcement at the American Music Awards on Memorial Day.

'You belong with me'
Pop sensation Taylor Swift, who was locked in a feud with record executives since 2019 over ownership of her music, has bought back the rights to her entire back catalogue, she said Friday, as per AFP. "All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me," she wrote on her website, after years of disputes over her first six albums, a number of which she rerecorded to create copies she owns herself. "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it," she wrote in the letter to her devoted followers. "To my fans, you know how important this has been to me – so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released four of my albums, calling them 'Taylor's Version'." Those records included the award-winning Reputation and Taylor Swift. Swift bought back her masters from Shamrock Capital, an LA investment firm, for an undisclosed amount. The re-recording power move came in the wake of public sparring with industry mogul Scooter Braun, her one-time manager whose company had purchased her previous label and gained a majority stake in her early work. He later sold Swift's master rights to the private equity company. 'This fight' The situation left Swift publicly incensed: "I just feel that artists should own their work," she said in 2019. "She's a vocal advocate for artists' rights," Ralph Jaccodine, a professor at the Berklee College of Music, told AFP previously. "She's built her own brand." Before her public efforts to regain control of her work, Prince, George Michael, Jay-Z and Kanye West all also fought for control of their masters – one-of-a-kind source material that dictate how songs are reproduced and sold – but none had gone so far as to re-record them completely. The queen of pop, whose recent nearly two-year-long, $2 billion Eras tour shattered records, said that she was "heartened by the conversations this saga has reignited within my industry." Swift's lucrative tour which wrapped last year was a showbusiness sensation, and will have helped offset the costs of buying back her catalog. The 149 shows across the world typically clocked in at more than three hours long each. Tour tickets sold for sometimes exorbitant prices and drew in millions of fans, along with many more who didn't get in and were willing to simply sing along from the parking lot. "Every time a new artist tells me they negotiated to own their master recordings in their record contract because of this fight, I'm reminded of how important it was for all this to happen," Swift said in her letter. Swifties react Fans across social media dubbed the end of the battle "Swiftie Independence Day", expressing pride and joy for their favourite artist to finally triumph in this long struggle. From quoting nostalgic lyrics to comparing Swift's new letter to the one she wrote in the beginning of the legal battle, fans on social media have been overjoyed at the news. "As an artist, this must be the best feeling. Owning what you created and having control over it must be a great feeling. You go girl, this is marvelous," a user wrote on Instagram. Some netizens, however, reflected on the bittersweet nature of Swift having to fight to earn what she had made. "She deserves to own the rights to her own work. It's wild that she had to become a billionaire and have a record-breaking world tour of intense, hard work across multiple time zones for hours, night after night, just to be able to buy the rights to her own work. I hate it here," a user fumed. A 2019 tweet from Kelly Clarkson also resurfaced on X. "Just a thought, you should go in and re-record all the songs that you don't own," Clarkson wrote to Swift back then, now having the appreciation of Swifties for thinking ahead. "I'd buy all the new versions just to prove a point." The news of Swift's purchase comes after Reputation's lead single Look What You Made Me Do featured in an episode of The Handmaid's Tale, adding fuel to Swifties' anticipation of Reputation (Taylor's Version). Now, following this new development and reports that Reputation has returned to No 1 on US iTunes, fans feel that the moment couldn't be any more poetic. "This is Reputation (Taylor's Version)," an Instagram user emphasised. "She literally worked hard to get it all back. I love this!" The pop-star addressed the matter of Reputation (Taylor's Version) in her letter. "Full transparency, I haven't even recorded a quarter of it," she admitted. "To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in these first six that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it." Swift promised that she will eventually release the vault tracks for the album, adding that on the other hand, she has re-recorded her debut album. "These two albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right," she said. "But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now."

Scooter Braun breaks silence after Taylor Swift reclaims rights to her first six studio albums
Scooter Braun breaks silence after Taylor Swift reclaims rights to her first six studio albums Taylor Swift has officially bought back the rights to her Big Machine Records catalog, a major moment in her career that puts an end to a years-long dispute with music executive Scooter Braun. Swift, 35, now owns her first six studio albums after acquiring them from investment firm Shamrock Capital for an undisclosed nine-figure amount. The deal comes six years after Braun's Ithaca Holdings controversially purchased Big Machine Records, including Swift's masters, for $300 million in 2019—sparking a public feud between the two. At the time, Swift accused Braun of exploiting her work and launched a re-recording campaign, releasing new versions under the title "Taylor's Version." Despite the history of bad blood, Braun had a surprisingly supportive reaction to the news, telling Us Weekly: 'I am happy for her.' In a handwritten letter posted to her website, Swift expressed overwhelming joy. 'All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me,' she wrote. She emphasized the emotional journey of finally reclaiming her work, calling it her 'greatest dream come true.' Swift clarified that she has not yet completed re-recording Reputation, citing the album's emotional complexity. However, she confirmed the re-recorded versions of the first four albums will continue to be available alongside the originals. Braun, who no longer profits from the catalog and was not involved in Shamrock's recent sale, had previously expressed regret about Swift's reaction to the original deal. He also claimed much of the situation was 'misrepresented.' Swift's acquisition marks a historic moment in artist rights advocacy, reinforcing her position as a trailblazer in the music industry.

Taylor Swift reacquires original recordings of first six albums in landmark music rights deal
Taylor Swift has reclaimed ownership of her first six albums, purchasing the master recordings from Shamrock Capital in a deal described by the singer as a 'greatest dream come true.' This marks a significant milestone after six years of complex negotiations and ownership changes since her early catalog was first sold without her consent. The six albums, originally released under Big Machine Records, had been sold to Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings in 2019 and subsequently acquired by Shamrock Capital a year later. Swift's recent purchase, reportedly for a nine-figure sum, was finalized through her Nashville-based management team, with sources noting the price was fair and reasonable—far below inflated estimates circulated by some media. In a handwritten letter to fans, Swift expressed deep joy over finally owning her early music. 'All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me,' she wrote, highlighting that her acquisition includes not only the albums but also related visuals, concert films, and artwork. The singer plans to continue releasing her re-recorded 'Taylor's Version' editions alongside the original recordings. These re-recordings began as a response to the original masters' sale and have since become a major part of her artistic and commercial strategy, fueling her blockbuster Eras Tour. Two re-recorded albums remain unreleased: 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' and a new version of her debut album. Swift clarified that this new deal will not delay the release of those editions, although she noted that 'Reputation' has been challenging to re-record, given the album's personal significance. The saga began in June 2019 when Braun announced his acquisition of Big Machine's catalog, a move Swift criticized publicly for its lack of transparency and alleged bullying by Braun's management clients. Swift had previously attempted to purchase her masters but found the terms prohibitive, including requirements that would have forced her to stay with Big Machine Records. The controversy sparked widespread discussion about artists' rights, with Swift's decision to re-record her music setting a precedent in the industry. The re-recordings, featuring bonus tracks and updated production, have allowed her to regain control over her work and licensing opportunities. A source close to the deal emphasized that no external party encouraged the sale to Swift and denied Scooter Braun's involvement in the recent transaction. The ownership transfer reflects a new chapter in Swift's career, underscoring her commitment to owning her creative output. Since leaving Big Machine, Swift has partnered with Universal Music Group, securing ownership of all new masters while UMG handles distribution. The reclaimed catalog, combined with her ongoing releases, reinforces her position as one of the most influential and commercially successful artists in music history.
