Elisabeth Moss, the esteemed star of "The Handmaid's Tale," has finally unveiled the intriguing tale of how she persuaded Taylor Swift to grant permission for the unreleased track, "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)," to feature in the show. The 42-year-old actress revealed that she boldly pitched the idea to the pop icon, inquiring about her thoughts on the song being included in an episode. With characteristic honesty, Moss shared, "Her feedback was a resounding 'yes.'"
The Emmy-award winner further elaborated, sharing that she had penned a heartfelt letter to Swift, detailing how the empowering theme of the song resonated deeply with the feminist drama. In this letter, Moss opened up about the profound impact Swift's music had on her and the cast. Reflecting on Swift's response, Moss exclaimed, "It was an immense honor that she took the time to read my letter. In it, I articulated how the song encapsulated the essence of the episode and how her music holds a special place in my heart, as well as that of our entire cast."
Last month, fans were taken by surprise when the ninth episode of the sixth season of the show featured the unreleased song. Speculations were rife among Swift's avid fans, the Swifties, that the hitmaker behind "Anti-Hero" might have completed work on "Reputation (Taylor's Version)." However, these theories were swiftly debunked when Swift admitted in her recently released letter that she hadn't even recorded a quarter of the album yet.
