It’s not the first time Swift revised a lyric she wrote as a teen that got called into question later, although this one was longer in coming. Swift wrote a lengthy “prologue” that is included in the packaging of “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” but it does not address “Better Than Revenge,” and the singer has not done any interviews to discuss the new release - the third in a series of six re-recordings of her Big Machine catalog. ![]() We just have to bully her into releasing Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version) (Slut Shaming Version) like she did with lana and snow on the beach - ruby July 6, 2023 Early reaction among Swifties on social media seemed split down the middle, with some fretting that they would have to disobey orders and pull out their old Big Machine copies to enjoy the fan favorite as they remembered it.

The intro of "The Roof Is on Fire" is sampled by the Chemical Brothers in their song " Hey Boy Hey Girl" (it actually says "Hey girls, hey boys."), and the chorus is interpolated in the Bloodhound Gang's " Fire Water Burn", Coal Chamber's "Sway", Rancid's "Burn", Quad City DJ's "Party Over Here", YACHT's "Dystopia (The Earth Is on Fire)", The Soca Boys' "Follow the Leader", Bratmobile's "Polaroid Baby", and The Pharcyde's "Return of the B-Boy". It is also known for the lyric "Now throw your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care" which, like the title lyric, has been interpolated in many other songs and used as a meme in pop culture in general. We don't need no water-Let the motherfucker burn! It reached number five on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart.
