Taylor Swift has given 'Better Than Revenge' a 2023 update with less misogynistic and cringey lyrics.
’s third studio album, the singer has notably changed her tune—or rather, her lyrics—on her alleged feud with actress Camilla Belle by giving one of her most controversial songs a slightly softer edge.
Longtime fans of Swift know that the now self-described feminist hasn’t always championed fellow famous women, nor has she always been particularly sex-positive. One primary example of her past problematic views is’s 10th track, “Better Than Revenge,” where Swift denigrates an “actress” for “stealing” her boyfriend.
The entire premise of the song is overtly misogynistic and features some pretty cringey lyrics, the worst being, “She’s better known for what she does on the mattress.” Elsewhere, she mocks the anonymous woman’s modest style, remarking “vintage dresses don’t give you dignity” and “sophistication isn’t what you wear.” , Swift has given “Better Than Revenge” a 2023 update—although its childish conceit remains intact.
