Baby, let the games begin.

A drive-in movie theatre in the US has announced a week of events celebrating Taylor Swift, in an effort to finally convince her to acknowledge that it is its screen that appears in the lyric video to her 2020 single ‘This Is Me Trying’.Drive-in 32 in Greenville, New York inadvertently ended up in the lyric video thanks to a short piece of stock footage that the venue had seemingly been unaware of until it was used by Swift’s team.“Somewhere during the winter of either 2018 or 2019, an overseas-based freelance photographer entered our property without permission and began filming”, the cinema’s management explain in a new Instagram post. “He then placed that footage with Shutterstock advertising [it] as ‘abandoned upstate NY drive-in theatre’”.“Someone in Taylor’s creative team purchased a $75 license from the stock agency for the footage, enlarged it, slowed it down, stitched together fourteen loops of the original eleven second clip and then added the lyrics on our screen”, they go on.

During the Seattle stop of her Eras tour, Swift performed her song "This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things," which is widely believed to be about her beef with West and then wife Kim Kardashian. After singing the line, "Here’s to you, cuz forgiveness is a nice thing to do," the 33-year-old let out a hearty laugh as the crowd cheered along.

John Mayer is really hoping Taylor Swift‘s fans are forgiving!

John Mayer is seeing it all now that his ex Taylor Swift has rereleased her 2010 album, Speak Now.

.The 2010 song is one of the most controversial of Swift's career, with lyrics that people have called for years. As the song has aged, however, it's also developed a culty appreciation, the kind of song you scream-sing at karaoke with a winking admission that it's kind of f*cked up. (See also: Paramore's “Misery Business.") Of course the song is petty with some low blows to its subject, but Swift was also writing from the raw emotional minefield of teenagedom.“I was 18 when I wrote that,” she told back in 2014.

Taylor Swift has re-written a problematic lyric on ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’.The pop star released the re-recording of her 2010 third album today (July 7) as she continues to recreate her first six records after the controversial sales of her masters in recent years.It follows on from ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’ and ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’, both of which came out in 2021.On the track ‘Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version)’, the singer has changed a line from the original song that had been interpreted by some as being “anti-feminist” and having a slut-shaming message.“She’s an actress, whoa/ She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa,” Swift sings on the 2010 version of the song. However, the updated ‘Better Than Revenge’ lyric goes: “She’s an actress, whoa/ He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches.”The track is rumoured to have been inspired by Swift’s ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas and his post-Swift girlfriend, actress Camilla Belle.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Leading into the release of “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” one of the hottest topics of speculation among Taylor Swift fans and observers was whether she might change a specific line in “Better Than Revenge” that some felt had not dated well since the original recording came out in 2010. The conjecture was on point: She indeed rewrote the lyric in question for the 2023 version. For the last 13 years, a particularly quotable diss line stood as: “She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress.” In “Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version),” the line has been rewritten to: “He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches.”

It’s official: Taylor Swift is making a tweak to one of her Speak Now songs.
