    Also changing the lyrics is just gonna keep the value higher on the original recordings. It's a bad business move.

    Their covers aren’t for everyone. Some are good some are bad. I didn’t personally listen to it just saw it and shared it. The singer is a huge swiftie

    I would think the PR value she gets out of the "news story" of changing a lyric is higher than maintaining the lyric. It's not like it's a song that would get a lot of syncs off that lyric anyway.

    if you think Taylor cares about the stream count of a deep cut on Speak Now, you're sorely mistaken

    run away with me Platinum

    She's a grown ass woman if she feels weird with something she sang as a teenager that's reasonable

    Im just saying if the whole point of the exercise is to drive every listener to the new recordings changing the line is not going to do that. You are going to have a sector of listeners that will swap in the original recording

    Same with Girl At Home though, which is a much bigger change, she obviously doesn't care if a few songs aren't absolutely identical

  15. I personally hope there's more songs on Speak Now and the other TVs going forward that are tweaked a little bit, like "Girl at Home."

    I would love to hear all the songs mixed and changed like that, but I also understand that's not the main point of the project haha

  17. some glow-ups are definitely welcome by me. I'd love to hear the entire debut album (other than maybe the big songs) be done in a new way so each song sounds more modern or whatever.

    queer as fuck. Supporter

    Also, if there was anything shady going on from her end, certainly Scooter would've disclosed that by now...

    And if the shadiest thing she did was pretend she didn’t know about the sale when she did…who cares lmao
