Taylor Swift has become the first female artist in Spotify history to reach 100 million monthly listeners.
Spotify announced the news on Twitter, writing, “Queen behavior…On August 29th, Taylor Swift became the first female artist in Spotify history to reach 100 million monthly listeners.” Check out the post here.
Earlier this month, Swift debuted “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” in the trailer for the Prime Video series Wilderness, starring The Sandman’s Jenna Coleman as a woman taking revenge on her cheating husband, The Haunting of Hill House‘s Oliver Jackson-Cohen. A perfect fit for LWYMMD and Reputation, Taylor’s revenge-fueled record.
Even before 1989 (Taylor’s Version) has dropped, Taylor Swift is giving fans a taste of what Reputation (Taylor’s Version) will sound like.
The trailer, clocking in at just shy of 1:30, features minimal dialogue, making it feel almost like a music video for “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” as Coleman’s character silently plots her revenge before chaos erupts. “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’s description begins, of course referencing LWYMMD’s lyrics.
The description continues, “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.”
The track will also feature as the show’s opening title song when the series premieres globally on September 15th. Wilderness is based on B.E. Jones’ novel of the same name. The series was created by Marnie Dickens, directed by So Yong Kim, and executive produced by Elizabeth Kilgarriff.
