We know that Taylor Swift's next re-recording will be her 2014 album, 1989, but a new teaser trailer seems to allude that 2017's Reputation may not be so far behind. “Look What You Made Me Do,” the lead single from the album, just got the “Taylor's Version” treatment. You can hear a snippet of the re-recorded track in the new teaser trailer for Prime Video's forthcoming psychological thriller series Wilderness. (Literally, the tagline for the series is: “Look what he made her do.”)
Wilderness, out on September 15, is a twisty thriller about a woman named Liv (played by Jenna Coleman) who discovers her husband Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) has been having an affair. After her initial heartbreak, she finds herself set on revenge — revenge she intends to get on a road trip with said cheating husband, even as they seemingly try to repair their marriage. Obviously “Look What You Made Me Do” is the perfect fit for such a destructive storyline, what with its sneering lyrics, dark, driving beat, and overall sense of anger and dread.
The song itself, like much of Swift's re-records, sounds pretty darn faithful to the 2017 original; we even get the iconic “I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now” spoken word section in the trailer, and it sounds just as fun in the new version. Oh, and is that Ashley Benson we see? The former Pretty Little Liars star will appear as a character named Cara in the series.
Taylor Swift announced that 1989 (Taylor's Version) will be released on October 27, but this new Reputation-era track does make us wonder if that album will also make its appearance before the end of the year. In 2023 alone, Swift released a new full-length album, Midnights, alongside Speak Now (Taylor's Version), and, not to mention, embarked on a truly epic North American tour. So it wouldn't be entirely outside the realm of possibility if she did drop two re-records at the end of the year. (How does she find the time? Does she sleep?) That would leave just one album left in the queue, her self-titled debut — a fitting, full-circle way to end the project. If we start seeing snakes pop up on Swift's social or in her wardrobe, then we'll really know what's up.
