'You' showrunner Sera Gamble explained why they chose that Taylor Swift song for the season finale.

"It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero" that is Joe Goldberg . It has been established since Season 1 of You that Joe, played by Gossip Girl alum Penn Badgley, has always been the problem, regardless of his upbringing or what he has been through.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Although the song just recently came out, Gamble shared that it best fits Joe's current conflicted mental state, and she thought there's "no harm" in asking Swift herself if they can include it in the show. She told THR: "It had very recently come out, and we had another great big song in there that was more British.

As for the British song, Gamble also told THR that she'll keep it in her "pocket" and perhaps use it when the opportunity arises. "Anti-Hero" is the lead single from Swift's tenth studio album, Midnights, and the lyrics discuss—for one—self-loathing and one's own shortcomings, coming to terms with the fact that sometimes the problem is them.

A serial killer who owns up to his own mistakes? Still a red flag. But the second part of the show's fourth season has hit all the right notes, and it's now streaming on Netflix. You can watch the trailer below.
