Taylor Swift fans were surprised with a longer version of "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)" in the latest episode of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale. The track comes from her upcoming rerecorded album, Reputation (Taylor's Version). Elisabeth Moss, the star of the show, told Billboard, "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."

Swifties are enjoying a slithery surprise! Thanks to The Handmaid's Tale, Taylor Swift fans got a longer version of the rerecording of "Look What You Made Me Do" (Taylor's Version), which first debuted in the Wilderness teaser last August, in the latest episode of the Hulu series.

The song is featured at the beginning of episode nine, which sees the handmaids walking in formation to stage an uprising led by June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) against the Commanders, according to Billboard.

In a statement to the outlet, star of the show and executive producer Moss, 42, explained how using one of Swift's tracks in the dystopian drama was something she'd had her heart set on for a long time.

"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 said. "Taylor has been such an inspiration to me personally. As a Swiftie myself, and I think I can speak for [co-star] Yvonne [Strahovski] and our entire cast as well, who are all Swifties, it's such an honor to be able to use her music in the final episodes of our show."

The actress was in full Swiftie mode last year when she attended Swift's Eras Tour stop in Toronto alongside her Handmaid's Tale costar Bradley Whitford, with his wife Amy Landecker sharing a snap of the trio posing with Mariska Hargitay at the show.

Swift, 35, has previously teased her Reputation (Taylor's Version) era with previews of "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)" in a number of series.

A snippet of the track featured in Apple TV+ docuseries The Dynasty: New England Patriots last year, while it was also previously heard in the summer of 2023 in the teaser for Wilderness.

It marks a rare taste of Swift's upcoming re-recorded take on her 2017 album Reputation. She's already released newly recorded versions of her records 1989, Red, Speak Now and her second studio album, Fearless.

Swifties have been excitedly waiting for the pop superstar to drop Reputation (Taylor's Version). Fans thought Swift hinted at the re-recorded album during an Eras Tour stop in London last summer, while earlier this year it was believed she made a subtle nod to Reputation (Taylor's Version) with her necklace at the Kansas City Chiefs' AFC Championship Game in January.
