Taylor Swift teases haunting re-recorded 'Look What You Made Me Do' in 'Wilderness' trailer
Are you ready for it? Taylor Swift has a surprise.
Swift, 33, dropped a snippet of "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)" from her 2017 album "Reputation" in the teaser for upcoming Amazon Prime Video thriller "Wilderness."
The re-recorded version takes on a more haunting sound as Jenna Coleman's character Liv plots revenge against her husband Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) after she discovers he has an affair.
"Liv becomes the actress starring in Will’s bad dreams after she learns about his betrayal, and her heartbreak is swiftly followed by another emotion: fury," the trailer description reads, incorporating Swift puns and references to lyrics of "Look What You Made Me Do."
The new song debut comes just two weeks after Swift announced the "Taylor’s Version" of her triumphant pop breakthrough, 2014’s "1989." The album will be available Oct. 27.
The ever-clever Swift dropped the news on Aug. 9 (8/9, get it?), which coincided with the last date of the first leg of her Eras tour at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles. The tour, a colossal success that will traverse South America, Japan, Australia and Europe, returns for more North American dates in October 2024.
"Taylor's Version" will contain 21 songs, five of them previously unreleased "from the vault."
And of course, she offered one of the album's bonus tracks, "New Romantics," as a surprise offering.
The rerecorded release of "1989" – which she named for her birth year – follows the arrival of "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)" in July, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Swift’s accomplishment – it’s her 12th album to reach the top slot – crowns her as the female artist with the most No. 1 albums in chart history (Barbra Streisand held the record with 11).

The glossy "1989," which won album of the year and best pop vocal album at the 2016 Grammy Awards, represented the demarcation line in Swift's evolving career, which started to slide from country to pop with 2012's "Red." With Max Martin, Shellback, Jack Antonoff and Ryan Tedder handling much of the co-writing and production on hits including "Blank Space," "Shake it Off," "Out of the Woods" and "Bad Blood," the album marked Swift's complete transformation into a pop superstar.
The rerecorded "1989" is the fourth among Swift's catalog to be issued as "Taylor’s Version," an exercise she began to reclaim her artistic ownership after the sale of her original master recordings in 2020. "Fearless," "Red" and the aforementioned "Speak Now" precede it.
