Taylor swift relaunch of talk now She was offered the chance to take back a now controversial song from “Better Than Revenge”.
When it was originally released in 2010, “Better Than Revenge” contained the lyrics, “She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think / She’s an actress / She’s famous for the things she does / On the mattress.” Now, the last two lines have been changed to: “He was a flame moth / She was carrying matches.”
At the time, the song was rumored to be about Joe Jonas’ new ex-girlfriend, actress Camilla Belle. While it was largely considered “good” at the time, it has become controversial as times have changed. In a 2014 interview with WatchmanHowever, Swift expressed regret over the lyric.
“I was 18 when I wrote that,” she said. “This is your age when you think someone can actually take your friend. Then you grow up and don’t realize anyone [can] Take someone from you if he doesn’t want to leave.
This isn’t the first time Swift has changed one of her versions after the fact. Back in October 2022, Swift edited her “Anti-Hero” video, removing the word “FAT” from a scene intended to depict one of Swift’s “nightmares”.
Swift is still on the US leg of “The Eras Tour,” which will continue with the first set of international dates in late August. Next year, she will embark on a wider tour featuring Paramore as a special guest on the European leg. Get tickets for all of her upcoming dates here.
