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 a 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 on the more feminist-friendly stance (or maybe “personality”, depending on how cynical you are) that Swift has offered so much in the decade since the old talk now.

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now, it’s occupying the deductive minds of Swift fans everywhere, and it’s quickly confirmed: the mattress line has been replaced by a less perfect rhyme (but superior visuals) of “It was a flame moth, she was carrying matches.”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