Speak Now’s 10th track has divided opinions over whether a certain “anti-feminist” lyric should be changed in the re-recording, released today.

Today, Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) was released into eagerly waiting open arms.

Leading up to this big day, there was one track, in particular, that was the subject of extensive discussion. Better Than Revenge, the 10th song on the album, had come under fire for having lyrics that, to many, had not aged well since 2010.

One such line was: “She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress.”

In recent weeks, fans speculated about whether or not Swift would change the line in the re-recording, and whether she even should.

Many deemed the lyric to be anti-feminist or an example of slut shaming, since it focuses on a woman using sex to take her man away, rather than him being fickle or easily led.

On the other hand, many argued that the re-recorded albums should be as close to the originals as possible, since they are intended to make a statement; they represent Swift’s ability to reclaim her rights.

Further, it could be argued that expecting her to rewrite the line as a 33-year old and thus changing the past would take away from the more vulnerable – even if a little naive – reactive feelings that the then 19-year old would have felt.

However, as it was unveiled today, Swift indeed decided to rewrite the lyric.

It was instead changed to: “He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches.”

In the May announcement that Speak Now would be the next album to be re-recorded, Swift wrote on social media: “The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness. I love this album because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing… and living to speak about it.“

Altering the lyrics seems to detract from this audio diary that encapsulates the journey of growing up and wild emotions of a 19-year old girl, but ultimately it is Swift’s passion project over which she has creative freedom, which is something to be celebrated.
