Taylor Swift is using rerecording her music as an opportunity to make some changes.
The singer dropped her album 鈥淪peak Now (Taylor鈥檚 Version)鈥� on Friday and addressed something that has not aged well.
In the original version of her 2010 single 鈥淏etter Than Revenge,鈥� Swift sings, 鈥淪he鈥檚 better known for the things that she does on the mattress.鈥�
In the 2023 version, Swift has changed the line to 鈥淗e was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches.鈥�
Taylor is well known for advocating for women and her fans have been debating for weeks whether she would change the original lyric, which many viewed as 鈥渟lut shaming.鈥�
The superstar singer didn鈥檛 announce the edit ahead of time and it was met with mixed reactions online. It鈥檚 not the first time Swift has changed lyrics to a song though 鈥� she previously tweaked the lyrics to 鈥淧icture to Burn鈥� from her 2006 debut album.
Swift is rerecording her music after music executive Scooter Braun purchased the master recordings of her first six albums from her former label Big Machine Label Group in 2019, a sale she objected to.
Braun reportedly sold them for $US300 million to a private equity company in 2020.
