Song appears in trailer for Wilderness
Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” has been revealed as the song of the opening titles for UK Prime Original thriller series Wilderness. The re-recorded track from Reputation makes its global debut in the series teaser released today (Wed, Aug 23rd). Wilderness will launch globally on Prime Video on September 15th.
The defiant “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” reflects Liv’s (Jenna Coleman) transformation after her supposed “happily-ever-after” quickly turns into a living nightmare on discovering her husband Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) is having 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 couple embark on an American road trip Liv’s fantasized about since she was little, from the Grand Canyon on through Yosemite, before ending up with a hedonistic weekend in Las Vegas. For Will, it’s a chance to make amends; for Liv, it’s a very different prospect—a landscape where accidents happen all the time. The perfect place to get revenge. Look what he made her do…
Swift’s track is the latest addition to the psychological thriller driven by a female team, created by Marnie Dickens, based on B.E. Jones’ novel, directed by So Yong Kim, and executive produced by Elizabeth Kilgarriff.
It’s unclear when Reputation (Taylor’s Version) will be released, but it and Swift’s self-titled debut — Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) — have yet to be announced. Earlier this month, she shared from the stage in Los Angeles that 1989 (Taylor’s Version) will be available on October 27th via Republic Records. The new version drops nine years to the date of its original release by Big Machine Records in 2014 and includes 21 songs with five previously unreleased songs From The Vault.
Swift is currently in the midst of releasing re-recorded versions of her first six studio albums following a public feud with her former label, Big Machine Label Group. In July, she released Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), featuring 22 songs, including five six From the Vault songs that were written during the album’s original era, but not recorded until recently.
Upon its release last month, she achieved “the biggest debut for an album this year” with Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), her third re-recorded album, registering first-week sales of 716 thousand album equivalents in the US and over one million album equivalents worldwide, landing her at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. At the same time, the project made history by scoring “the biggest sales week for a re-recorded album ever,” besting even the one million first-week global consumption of Red (Taylor’s Version) in 2021. Plus, it notched the “second biggest vinyl sales week in Nielsen history,” following Taylor Swift’s Midnights. In addition, Swift is the first living artist in nearly 60 years with four of the top ten on the Billboard 200 with Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), Midnights, Lover, and Folklore.
