Taylor Swift isn’t out for revenge this time around.
After a handful of Swifties got the “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” album a day ahead of its July 7 release, they discovered that she had changed the lyrics on her hit song “Better Than Revenge.”
In the original track, which was released in 2010, Swift sings, “She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think / she’s an actress, whoa / She’s better known for the things that she does / On the mattress, whoa.”
However, the 33-year-old swapped out the latter part of the verse with, “He was a moth to the flame / She was holding the matches, whoa.”
One fan, who got their hands on the album, posted a photo of the new lyrics on Twitter, while another user shared a short clip of the new version.
The longstanding rumor is that Swift wrote the song about actress Camilla Belle, who dated Joe Jonas directly after the Grammy winner.
Yet, now that the exes are on good terms, it appears Swift is looking to make amends with Jonas’ former flame.
However, fans had a mixed reaction to the change given the fact they’ve been screaming the same, albeit problematic, lyrics for over a decade.
“We miss brutal Taylor where she hated everyone but lover era Taylor assassinated her,” one fan wrote.
“I thought I was gonna stream the original if she changed the lyrics. But now I don’t know. Like I know she only did this to please people. And I want to support her fully. But I love the original so so much
