Taylor Swift Disses Princeton Review For Misquoting Her Lyrics
Taylor Swift got testy over the fact that Princeton Review misquoted the lyrics of her song “Fifteen” on its SAT practice tests. The “Shake It Off” singer did not just shake off the mistake and called the review centre out, telling the people who prepared the tests that they “only have one job” and they did not do it well.
After she stunned everyone when she bought several porn sites’ URLs (.porn and .adult) in her name in a bid to protect her brand and preempt trolls from creating those kinds of sites about her, Taylor made an online ruckus again by bashing Princeton Review.
The test preparation and college admission services company released a series of practice SAT tests to help the students learn and remember correct grammar but was ultimately the one that needed a lesson from the irate singer. The Review Center claimed that pop lyrics provided a lot of examples of bad grammar and asked students to correct specific lyrics with incorrect grammar. Included in the examples is a line from Taylor Swift’s “Fifteen.” The problem is that that the Review Center misquoted the hit 2008 single, and Taylor could not just let it go.
"Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe 'em,” is the line provided in the practice test . However, the correct line should be "Somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them."
Although Taylor was not angry that her song was accused of having bad grammar, she was angry that the Review Center can make a mistake like that. A fan brought the incorrect line to Taylor’s attention through Tumblr, and the singer used her account to admonish the Center. "Not the right lyrics at all pssshhhh," the recording artist wrote. Addressing those at Princeton Review as “test people,” Taylor told them that they only had “one job” but failed.
The "Blank Space" singer is all about making sure what is hers is protected. Her recent decision to remove all her songs from Spotify and to copyright some of her lyrics just showed how protective she is over her brand. When it was announced that anyone can buy a .porn web domain starting on June 1, CNN Money Reports reported that Taylor, along with other massive brands such as Microsoft, Harvard University and others, bought the sites to prevent others from using them.
