Taylor Swift’s New Dolby Atmos Release Includes Two Reputation Lyric Changes

Taylor Swift loves to release different versions of her albums. Her latest album, The Life Of A Showgirl, received multiple deluxe versions: So Punk On The Internet Version, So Glamorous Cabaret Version, etc. Yesterday (Dec. 12), on the pop superstar's birthday eve (happy birthday Taylor!), she quietly shared a subtly altered edition of her sixth studio LP Reputation via Apple Music.

The streaming service offers a feature called Dolby Atmos, which provides a three-dimensional listening experience using Spatial Audio. The singer apparently wanted to heighten six of her records (Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation) with this, but she also used the opportunity to revise her Reputation lyrics to swear more (she is 36 now, so she can do that).

For "I Did Something Bad," she changed the lyrics from  "But if he drops my name, then I owe him nothin'/ And if he spends my change, then he had it comin'" to "If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothin'/ And if he calls me a bitch then he had it comin'."

In "Delicate," she reworked "Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you/ Oh, damn, never seen that color blue" into "Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you/ Goddamn, never seen that color blue."

Meanwhile The End Of An Era, her six-part docuseries about her record-breaking Eras Tour, premiered yesterday via Disney+. It featured vulnerable moments of discussing the aftermath of the thwarted terrorist plot at her Vienna concert, as well as the mass stabbing that transpired at a Swift-themed dance class. It also had a scene showing her handing out six-figure bonus checks to her backup dancers.
