Part 2/12:
Taylor Swift's move to re-release her older albums, notably Speak Now, under her own label following her high-profile dispute with Scooter Braun, has stirred discussion beyond just music rights. Fans and critics have pointed out that she appears to be editing lyrics from her previous work, with rumors suggesting she’s removing potentially problematic lyrics to align with contemporary sensitivities.
One such example involves her 2010 song, Better Than Revenge, which contains lyrics that many now consider sexist or offensive. The lyric "She's not a saint; she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress" has been scrutinized, with some speculating that Swift has replaced or removed it in her Taylor’s Version release.
