Swifties think Speak Now (Taylor’s version) will change the bad lyric

Not since the early days of westworld (when the show was really good and not just “believe me it’s still good”) there was a community of people so obsessed with solving the mystery It may not actually existbut Approx Says that Taylor Swift fans— The Swifts, in their language, revealed evidence Swift would change a controversial lyric in her song “Better Than Revenge” when she released Taylor’s updated version of the song. talk now on July 7th.

The original song, in which Swift pits herself against a romantic rival who supposedly stole her boyfriend (Maybe Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle), has been described as anti-feminist or outright misogynist because of the way it seems to pit women against each other. It also notably includes the following words: “She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think she is, she’s an actress, and she’s best known for the things she does on the mattress,” which… yeah. Not cool, especially in terms of the more feminist-friendly stance (or perhaps “personality”, depending on how cynical you are) that Swift has offered so much in the decade since the old talk now.

By searching specifically for the first line, “Not a saint,” Swift fans were able to view the new iTunes page Taylor version version, but by digging through the old lyrics, they were only able to bring up the original song – which apparently means the old songs aren’t in the new one!

If true, it follows what appears to be some kind of preemptive damage control from Swift, who seems well aware that this is going to be particularly hot. era to Taylor version Project (where she reissues all of her old albums to get the rights back). a few weeks ago, I made an appeal to the crowd On one of her tours, she stops bullying several famous men about whom she has written songs talk now (including, presumably, John Mayer and Taylor Lautner), noting—without really saying this literally—that they’re richer and more famous than either of them and they seem to be doing just fine.

Unless this is all pseudoscience and Taylor Swift really wants to rally everyone together to stand up to all those who wronged her? She could probably do that quite easily.

Speak now (Taylor version) In the world right now, it’s occupying the deductive minds of Swift fans everywhere, and it’s quickly confirmed: the rank line has been replaced by the less perfect (but visually superior) rhyme.”It was a flame moth, she was carrying matches.” Great job, gumshoes!
