Taylor Swift's Updated Lyric in 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)' Sparks Controversy Among Swifties

Taylor Swift fans, known as Swifties, have speculated that the updated Taylor's Version of her album Speak Now will feature a change to the controversial lyric in the song "Better Than Revenge." The original lyric has been criticized for its anti-feminist and misogynistic undertones. Swifties noticed that the rerecorded version of the song is slightly longer, suggesting a modification.
