I cant believe she makes fun of Lucky you, or she calls that one line in Stay beautiful just a "bad lyric" yet she stands by 22 and even calls it her favorite song on Red
Like girl Lucky you and that line in SB are better lyrically that 22
I just noticed GU is back.
Wait, what? Taylor shaded one of her lines from Stay Beautiful? She better take it back. That song alone ***** on half of Red.
She shaded "Cory's eyes are like a jungle, he smiles it's like the radio / he whispers songs into my window in words that nobody knows"
Because it should be "Cory's eyes are like a jungle, he smiles it's like the radio whispers songs into my window in words that nobody knows", which is indeed a far better and more sensical lyric.

Oh! I never really understood the bolded line, now it makes sense
Yesterday, Taylor visited a girl named Lauren Murphy, who was hit by a car and suffered severe head trauma, and spent time with her family at Cedars-Sinai hospital in LA. This was posted on Lauren's facebook recovery page

Haha well it definitely works better and finally makes more sense. Although that's still my favorite line of the song and nonsensical or not it slays. I always just took it as the radio being a metaphor for something she gets happiness and comfortability out of, so she compares it to his smile which gives her the same feelings. I guess it was a reach but I'm gonna stick with that interpretation.

Country music’s precocious princess has become a grown-up queen of popular music.
And royalty, as Taylor Swift would probably attest, always has a target on its back.
It’s been just two years since we last saw Swift at Ford Field, where she played for a shrieking crowd of nearly 48,000 amid her evolution from sweet country hit-maker to assertive pop presence. It was just her second stadium performance.
But two years might as well be a couple of lifetimes: As she heads to the downtown football venue for a Saturday show, Swift arrives as a transformed public figure — a dominant, domineering celebrity who’s now enduring slings and arrows to go with her outrageous fortune.
There’s no denying Swift’s staggering success: Her fourth record, “Red,” bowed in October with 1.2 million copies sold, the biggest album debut in a decade. Her 2012 income was estimated by Forbes magazine at $57 million, ranking her just behind Britney Spears as the top-earning female in music. Earlier this week, TMZ reported that the 23-year-old superstar just laid out $18 million in cash for a waterside mansion in Rhode Island.
Her Red Tour, which started in March, has found Swift defiantly looking forward. It’s an evening of tight outfits and rock-star moves, with a set list dominated by the genre-busting material of “Red,” which completed Swift’s long-brewing metamorphosis into pop diva. Only two or three numbers are plucked from her old teenage catalog of sun-kissed country.
The transformation hasn’t sat well with everyone. Indeed, between her musical shift and her vivid, restless personal life, a public backlash has begun to simmer.
She’s been increasingly knocked for her prolific commercial endorsements, now including Diet Coke. The glossy pop sizzle of “Red” has left some longtime country fans disgruntled. Swift’s high-profile parade of celebrity boyfriends — their breakups reliably chronicled in song — has become a staple of gossip mags and running fodder for the late-night shows.
All came to a head at January’s Golden Globes show, when comics Amy Poehler and Tina Fey poked fun at the young singer’s romantic revolving door — prompting Swift to hit back by declaring “there’s aspecial place in hell” for such female critics.
If Swift is now widely viewed as fair game, it marks a rapid shift in the public mood: Just three years ago, the world’s protective instincts seemed to kick in all at once, when Kanye West’s interruption of Swift’s MTV awards speech saw him portrayed as the wolf to her innocent fawn.
Disc jockey “Dr. Don” Carpenter of WYCD-FM (99.5) has had a unique vantage point through it all. In 2006, his morning show hosted the 16-year-old Swift’s first live radio appearance, shortly before the puppy-love single “Tim McGraw” propelled her to national success. He and the station have remained tight with the starlet and her camp, even as her career has broadened well beyond the country world.
Carpenter, who regularly visits Detroit area schools to conduct student writing workshops, says her young critics have emerged in just the past couple of years. And the backlash may be spawned simply by the sheer scale of Swift’s fame — the fact that she’s become practically inescapable.
“We’ve always discussed Taylor and the fact that she writes some songs. When she was first out, you couldn’t get people to stop cheering,” he says. “Now you get a piece of the room that groans. I don’t know which side of the room that is, exactly — the pop fans? the country fans? — but it’s probably the part of the room that was silent the first time.”
But the truth is, in the grand scheme of Swift’s career, the drama probably doesn’t hurt — and indeed might only help. In a popular culture that thrives on controversy, always thirsting for the next bit of titillation, Swift could be well-served by a drumbeat of spicy headlines to go with the hits.
It may not be an accident. Carpenter says that even as a teen, Swift was one of the most naturally intelligent figures he’d ever encountered in music.
The tension and drama are “brilliant,” he says. “Don’t you think she knows that? I think a lot of it is more carefully contrived than people think. She’s a lot more in control of her career than people might realize.
“She went into this playing to a group of girls in junior high. What do you do when they hit high school? When they hit college? Well, this is what you do!”
Not me groaning about the backlash when The Lord is bathing in it with a smile.

I never really thought about it this way. Who knows to be honest. As long as it doesn't bother her or greatly hurt her career in the long run, I'm down.
What makes it a better single choice? 
She better take it back. That song alone ***** on half of Red.
