Due to copyright problems with the old album, in order to regain the work, Taylor Swift began to refill the old album in recent years. A few days ago, the album "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" has also been released. You must know that "Speak Now" means a lot to Taylor Swift and other Swifties, the whole disc is composed by Taylor Weift, each song is also a record of Taylor Swift's current mood and experience, and is also looking forward to the new "Speak Now".
It is understood that "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" was recorded when she was 32 years old, largely faithful to the original. The biggest change was that she changed the lyrics from "Better Than Revenge" from "She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress" to "He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches." He was a moth to the flame / she was holding the matches.
You must know that "Better Than Revenge" has always been accused that Taylor Swift's boyfriend at the time was attracted to another female artist, and this song is her verbal attack on her love rival. This change immediately caused a lot of buzz, and it was speculated that there were two reasons. The first reason is that Taylor Swift is now mature, and the old words are too hurtful, as she said in a 2014 interview with The Guardian: "I was 18 years old when I wrote this song. At this age, you really think someone can snatch your boyfriend. Then when you grow up, you realize that if he doesn't want to leave you, no one can take him away from you. ”
Another reason is that Taylor Swift has actively supported feminism in recent years, believing that the new lyrics are more in line with her current position that women's lives should no longer be criticized, so she made this change. Whatever the reason, the most important thing is that now Taylor Swift is really mature again and loves her more and more.
