“There will be no explanation. There will just be reputation,” was a statement Taylor Swift lived by during her Reputation era. Well, that sentiment seems to be manifesting itself again as we look ahead to the potential release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version) and the fact that, with no warning, the pop star premiered “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)" in the teaser for Prime Video's Wilderness. Obviously, this is big news for Swifties because it's the first time we've heard this version of the song, and, obviously, they had A+ reactions.
How Was ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’ Debuted?
“Look What You Made Me Do” is a song all about revenge, and it was partially inspired by Arya Stark and Game of Thrones. So, it makes sense that this anthem would be the soundtrack to a show all about what happens after Liv (Jenna Coleman) finds out her partner Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) betrayed her, and she’s driven to the point of revenge.
Over the course of the series, Liv and Will go on a road trip from the Grand Canyon up to the Yosemite, and their trip ends in Las Vegas. As the synopsis states, Will sees this as “a chance to make amends.” However, for Liv “it’s a very different prospect – a landscape where accidents happen all the time. The perfect place for revenge.” So, basically, “Look What You Made Me Do” is the ideal song to communicate the overall tone of the show, and why Liv feels the need to get revenge.
Swifties Are Freaking Out Over ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’
Obviously, the Swifties lost it when they got their first peek at the hit song off of Reputation (Taylor’s Version). They were screaming. They were crying. And I think it’s safe to say they’re ready for Wilderness, because many posted about their excitement for not only the song but this thriller as well. Take @viciousloverr for example, who posted:
OMG!! JENNA COLEMAN, ASHLEY BENSON & OLIVER JACKSON COHEN IN THE SAME SERIES. AND LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO TAYLOR’S VERSION! HOW AM I GOING YO SURVIVE 😭 #WildernessAugust 23, 2023
Over on Instagram the comments also popped off, as fans commented things like this:
Many fans also pointed out how our first snippet of “Delicate (Taylor’s Version)” premiered on The Summer I Turned Pretty recently, and they've been loving all these teases through Prime Video shows. I think this fan’s comment gets that point across perfectly:

Some other incredible comments about the use of “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” include:

While 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is up next on Swift’s list of upcoming projects, these teases have me hoping Reputation (Taylor’s Version) might not be far behind it. She loves an Easter egg, and it seems like Wilderness and our first look at “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)" might be one. Also, the song fits so perfectly with the new Prime Video show, it also totally makes sense that the “Getaway Car” singer would want her song as the soundtrack to it.
It’s only a matter of time before we find out what exactly Jenna Coleman’s Liv has planned and if more (Taylor’s Version) songs will be used in the thriller Wilderness, because it’s set to premiere on the 2023 TV schedule on September 15. So, make sure your Amazon Prime subscription is in order so you are ready to see how “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” manifests itself in what looks like a chilling thriller all about revenge.
