Taylor Swift makes major change to album Speak Now
Taylor Swift has used her re-recording of 2010 album Speak Now to “remove misogyny” from it.
In her 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana the singer admitted deep regret over some of her past actions.
Now she has put her words into action and changed the lyrics to the album’s track Better Than Revenge, about a girl who stole her boyfriend.
On the feisty original, Taylor fumed: “She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think, she’s an actress.
“She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress.” In the re-recorded version the line is: “He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches”.

In Miss Americana Taylor said: “I had to deprogram the misogyny in my own brain.
“There is no such thing as a slut, there is no such thing as a bitch. There is no such thing as someone who’s bossy. There’s just a boss.”
Reflecting on the song, Taylor added: “I was 18 when I wrote that. Then you grow up and realise no one can take someone from you if they don’t want to leave.”
Taylor is re-recording her albums in a long-running dispute over ownership of the recordings on her first six studio albums.
