Elisabeth Moss revealed that...
In an interview with
Entertainment Tonight
, Moss revealed that she requested the
Grammy-winning singer
to allow her to use '
Look What You Made Me Do
(Taylor's Version)' in Season 6, Episode 9, during a pivotal moment in the series.
In the show, the handmaids stage an uprising to get out of the woods as a protest against the commanders, which is led by
June Osborne
(Moss), and the song gives an accurate score for the rebels who are standing up against the wrongs.
'That was really, truly such an honour that she took the time to read. You know I wrote her a letter about what I felt like the song meant for the episode, and her music means to me and our cast, so the fact that she said yes to me was all the feedback that I needed,' Moss stated, adding that she wrote a letter to Swift about the impact her profound songs have on her, and her fellow co-stars.
Taylor Swift is an inspiration...
Moss, who is also one of the executive producers of 'The Handmaid's Tale,' stated, 'I've been wanting to use a Taylor song for many years on the show and we finally found the perfect spot for a track from her, and I'm so glad we waited because there could not be a more perfect song for a more perfect moment.'
Furthermore, the 42-year-old expressed that Swift has been an inspiration, and the entire cast feels honoured to have the singer's music in the final episodes of the show.
