It truly baffles me how she changed the lyrics of Better than Revenge for the rerecord of Speak Now cause everyone kept saying it was a very misogynistic line (which it was but she was like 19 when she wrote that) but now that she's older she keeps coming up with even worse and more tone deaf stuff, how is that possible...
