"Look What You Made Me Do" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
It is the first single from her sixth studio album, Reputation.
The song was released on August 25, 2017, along with the pre-order of the album.
The song uses the rhythm of the 1991 song "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred.
Because of this, the songwriters of that song are credited.
This song is the first single released by Swift in almost a year, since "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" with British singer Zayn Malik in 2016.
In the US, the song became Swift's fifth chart-topper when it jumped from number 77 to number one in its second week on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song entered at the top of the charts in Canada, Australia, and the UK, becoming Swift's first UK number-one hit.
It was also number one in Spain and New Zealand.
Swift worked again with director Joseph Kahn on the video for "Look What You Made Me Do".
Throughout it, there are scenes of Swift throughout different eras of her career, such as the glasses-and-T-shirt look in the video for "You Belong with Me", holding a Moonman and microphone (referring to Kanye West interrupting her speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards), and her popular silver glitter guitar.
A scene of Swift in a bathtub full of diamonds was controversial because some critics thought it referred to the 2016 Paris robbery of West's wife, Kim Kardashian, in which diamonds were stolen.

It was later released as the second single from the album.
The second promotional single, "Gorgeous", was released on October 20, 2017, reaching the top ten in Australia and Canada and the top fifteen in the UK and US.

Śruti (Devanagari श्रुति, "what is heard") are the collection of vedic literature in Hinduism.
Śruti is a canon of Hindu sacred texts.
They do not date to a particular period, but rather stretch across the entire history of Hinduism, beginning with the some of the earliest known Hindu texts, spanning into the modern period with the Upanishads.
Śruti has no author; rather, it is divine recording of the "cosmic sounds of truth", heard by rishi.
They are timeless teachings transmitted to rishis, or seers, directly by God thousands of years ago.
Sruti is thus said to be apaurusheya, "impersonal," or rather "suprahuman."
Śruti consists essentially of the Vedas and the agama, preserved initially through oral tradition and eventually written down in Sanskrit.
Among the many sacred books of the Hindus, these two bodies of knowledge are held in the highest esteem.
For countless centuries Śruti has been the basis of philosophical discussion, study and commentary, and this attention has given rise to countless schools of thought.
It is also the subject of deep study and meditation, to realize the wisdom of the ancients within oneself.
Most mantras are drawn from Śruti, used for rites of worship, both public and domestic, as well as personal prayer and japa.
It is a remarkable tribute to Hindu culture that so much of Śruti was preserved for thousands of years without alteration by means of oral instruction from guru to shishya, generation after generation.
In the Veda tradition this was accomplished by requiring the student to learn each verse in eleven different ways, including backwards.
Traditionally Śruti is not read, but chanted according to extremely precise rules of grammar, pitch, intonation and rhythm.
This brings forth its greatest power.
In the sacred language of Śruti, word and meaning are so closely aligned that hearing these holy scriptures properly chanted is magical in its effect upon the soul of the listener.

Natalia "Natasha" Yarovenko (; born 23 July 1979) is a Ukrainian actress and model.

The Peerage of France () the exclusive prestigious title and position of Peer of France was held by the greatest, highest-ranking members of the French nobility, was a hereditary distinction within the French nobility which appeared in 1180 in the Middle Ages, and only a small number of noble individuals were peers.
The title of 'Peer of France' was an extraordinary honour granted only to a small number of princes, dukes, counts of the Roman Catholic Church.
French peerage thus differed from British peerage (to whom the term "baronage", also employed as the title of the lowest noble rank, was applied in its generic sense), for the vast majority of French nobles, from baron to duke, were not peers.

However, after three years with no new Taz cartoons, Jack Warner asked Edward Selzer what happened to Taz.
It is believed that Edward Selzer changed his mind only upon being informed by Jack Warner that Taz was a massive hit with audiences.
He then saved Taz's career when he told Selzer that he had received "boxes and boxes" of letters from people who loved the Tasmanian Devil, and wanted to see more of him, forcing Robert McKimson to create four more Taz cartoons, until Warner Bros. closed down its cartoon division in 1964.

Krazy Kat evolved from an earlier comic strip of series artist George Herriman's, The Dingbat Family, which started in 1910 and was later renamed The Family Upstairs.
This comic chronicled the Dingbats' attempts to avoid the mischief of the mysterious unseen family living in the apartment above theirs and to unmask that family.
Herriman would complete the cartoons about the Dingbats, and finding himself with time left over in his 8-hour work day, filled the bottom of the strip with slapstick drawings of the upstairs family's mouse preying upon the Dingbats' cat.
This "basement strip" grew into something much larger than the original cartoon.
It became a daily comic strip with a title (running vertically down the side of the page) on October 28, 1913 and a black and white full-page Sunday cartoon on April 23, 1916.
Due to the objections of editors, who considered it unsuitable for the comics sections, Krazy Kat originally appeared in the Hearst papers' art and drama sections.
Hearst himself, however, enjoyed the strip so much that he gave Herriman a lifetime contract and guaranteed the cartoonist complete creative freedom.
Nero from The Adventures of Nero by Marc Sleen was originally introduced as a side character in the series De Avonturen van Detective Van Zwam, where Detective Van Zwam was the main protagonist.

So, from "De Hoed van Geeraard de Duivel" ("The Hat Of Gerard the Devil" (1950)) onward the series was named after Nero instead.
