Every Swiftie remembers where they were on Aug. 24, 2017. Mere hours before that midnight, Taylor Swift announced she was releasing her comeback single, which would kick off her darkest, most unexpected era ever: Reputation<\/em>. After a year away from the spotlight when it seemed like pretty much everyone was against her<\/a>, Swift didn\u2019t return as the victim, but as the vengeance-obsessed snake that she had been painted as. On \u201cLook What You Made Me Do<\/a>,\u201d she finally showed her fangs, and spat her most venomous lyrics right at her enemies\u2019 faces.<\/p>\n

But it was far from a flawless comeback at the time. Sure, the world stopped when the electropop diss track dropped<\/a>, but many people simply weren\u2019t ready for Swift\u2019s dark evolution. Several music critics slammed the song upon its release, describing it as \u201cremedial,\u201d \u201cartless,\u201d and \u201cthe worst music of her career<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song even managed to divide longtime Swift fans. While some Swifties were immediately on board with Swift\u2019s revenge era, others were disappointed by Swift\u2019s new sound and attitude<\/a>, clinging to the bubblegum pop and lyrical ballad days of yore.<\/p>\n

But now, \u201cLook What You Made Me Do\u201d is finally getting the respect it\u2019s always deserved. Six years after it caused a commotion, the Reputation<\/em> single is the indisputable highlight of the 2023 concert doc Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour<\/a><\/em>. And nobody\u2019s divided on that.<\/p>\n

Arriving in the middle of the nearly three-hour movie, \u201cLook What You Made Me Do\u201d is the climax of the concert\u2019s Reputation<\/em> section. After Swift stomps onto stage next to a gigantic CGI snake, she turns her \u201cDon\u2019t Blame Me\u201d outro into a twisted, hissing mashup with \u201cLWYMMD,\u201d a seamless transition that\u2019s become iconic among concertgoers. (One popular fan video of the moment<\/a> has 1.5 million likes on TikTok.)<\/p>\n

With its placement and performance, \u201cLook What You Made Me Do\u201d stands out<\/a> as the Eras Tour\u2019s de facto thesis statement. All of Swift\u2019s backup dancers dress in outfits reminiscent of Swift\u2019s old looks<\/a>, as Swift serpentines around them bellowing for revenge. The staging is a callback to the \u201cLWYMMD\u201d music video, which saw Swift arguing with past versions of herself. Looking back, the video was really the first spark of the entire Eras Tour.<\/p>\n
