Spotify announced that the re-released version of Taylor Swift's ‘Speak Now’ became the most-streamed country album in the streaming platform's history when it dropped on Friday.

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) also broke a record for most single-day streams on Spotify so far in 2023.

In keeping with tradition, Taylor included bonus tracks “From the Vault” - Swift added “Electric Tough” (a duet with Fall Out Boy), “When Emma Falls in Love,” “Castles Crumbling” (a duet with Hayley Williams), “Foolish One,” “Timeless,” and “I Can See You”.

Notably, she altered a lyric in the track “Better Than Revenge.” Fans noticed the lyrics previously went like:

“She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think / she’s an actress, whoa / She’s better known for the things that she does / On the mattress, whoa.”

The new lyrics now read: “She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think / she’s an actress, whoa / He was a moth to the flame / She was holding the matches, whoa.”
