Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’ Songs Get Unannounced Lyric Changes After Apple Music Update

Swift has not commented on the unannounced updates that surfaced with Apple Music’s Dolby Atmos rollout.

Overview

  • Listeners on Apple Music reported revised lines in two 2017 tracks, with “I Did Something Bad” now featuring “If he calls me a bitch, then he had it coming” and “Delicate” changing to “Goddamn, never seen that color blue.”
  • The tweaks appeared after Apple updated Swift’s catalog to Dolby Atmos, and fans noted the changes were not broadly announced in advance.
  • Several fans said the altered tracks also include subtle vocal differences, though the scope and source of the updates have not been confirmed.
  • The timing coincided with the debut of the first two episodes of Swift’s Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era, which intensified online discussion.
  • Speculation that these updates hint at Reputation (Taylor’s Version) or vault tracks remains unconfirmed, and Swift previously indicated she had not re-recorded much of the album while signaling vault material could arrive in the future.
