Soon, the Taylor Swift is [Arya Stark comparisons](http://time.com/4915735/taylor-swift-arya-stark/) started to take over the internet. Now, though, the rumor has reached its logical conclusion. Some clever person (specifically, YouTube user [Matthijs Vlot](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHXSwLhIivd%5FpSxW8NTxx4g)) has edited _Game of Thrones_ footage to make it seem like the cast is reciting the lyrics of “Look What You Made Me Do”—and it really works. The video creator painstakingly went through the show and found characters like Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, Littlefinger, Sansa Stark, Olenna Tyrell, and, yes, even Arya Stark, saying Swift’s words and strung them together into the best cover song that Westeros has ever seen. If hearing both Olenna Tyrell and Arya Stark say, “I don’t like you” doesn’t give you the chills thinking about the revenge they might seek, you clearly haven’t been paying attention. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4933385/game-of-thrones-sings-taylor-swift/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4933385/game-of-thrones-sings-taylor-swift/"},"headline":"The Cast of Game of Thrones Does Taylor Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do' Better Than Taylor","datePublished":"2017-09-08T14:50:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:05.453Z","description":"If Westeros had radio stations, this would be the top of the charts.","url":"https://time.com/4933385/game-of-thrones-sings-taylor-swift/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","Music","viral","Taylor Swift"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt69a568fd829ff017/6988dcfc86f68e6cf36e655a/dyptich1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt69a568fd829ff017/6988dcfc86f68e6cf36e655a/dyptich1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"170908_ Swift and GOT","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4933385/game-of-thrones-sings-taylor-swift/","name":"The Cast of Game of Thrones Does Taylor Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do' Better Than Taylor"}}]}] ```
