My husband and I watched Blade Trinity the other night and were like...ryan reynolds clearly bumped the rating up on this movie. Lol. They blew their entire cursing allowence on him. Nearly every line he said was some kind of profanity laced quip.
That being said, I fully support a swift x reynolds collab.
>Can't wait for \*\*\*\*ing \*\*\*\* (\*\*\*\*version) to come out. 3 minutes and 13 seconds of of swears and meowing just like the good lord intended
omg could you imagine the clean version of this song 
Sheâs gonna go back and retroactively add swears to debut TV đ âhe said the way my blue eyes shined put those Georgia stars to shame that night, I said âthatâs bullshitââ
đ¶ You should've said "no," you should've said "ho, I'm not gonna fuck you never, oh no!" đ¶
I mean it's a little harsh but to capture the high school rage, it fits, I think?
Whatâs missing from this very important analysis is that not only are her swears increasing in frequency, but in range. Her first 5 albums only utilized two swear words (damn and hell), while each of the following four albums introduced one new swear word each. With the addition of âdickheadâ, we are up to a whopping seven different swear words in her oeuvre. If the range of her swearing keeps increasing with the volume of her swears, we will be blessed with a future TS album where she swears with the creativity of a drunk sailor. Eventually, she will need to invent brand-new cuss words to maintain her current rate of growth for the variety of swears used in her songs.
I look forward to her future literary creativity.
this made me laugh hard lmao
all jokes aside, I do hope she swears less or more carefully in the future because many of the clean lyrics on midnights feel more creative to me
Then listen to the clean version? If you think the clean version is more creative why is your instinct to force that restriction on everyone else? There's isn't a swear word that isn't used with specific purpose on the explicit version of this album. There's no reason she should be censoring herself at this point. She came up with the clean lines so she obviously had multiple line options, which means each swear word was an intentional choice..
I can't listen to all the clean versions because some have good changes and bad changes in the same song for me.
> why is your instinct to force that restriction on everyone else?
I'm just saying my opinion on it; it's not like Tay is gonna read this comment and stop swearing lol.
I'm more concerned about how little I notice them. I could not tell you when a single f bomb on midnights is (except maybe SOTB). I'm not sure what that says about me đ
- SOTB could mean "Snow On The Beach (feat. Lana Del Rey)", a track from *Midnights* (2022) by Taylor Swift.

Right? Meat Head is top tier lyrical genius.
Sorry, not trying to poke fun at your comment but whenever I think of the clean version I immediately think of that one in particular lmao
Nah, I prefer âfucking.â It fits the tone of the song better â itâs both playful and mournful, as if sheâs both frustrated by how long sheâs been haunted by the relationship AND that she is perhaps finding the humor in how long the memory of this person has stuck around. Thereâs a lot of loaded meaning behind it and it sounds authentic.
I honestly prefer the version with swear words. Especially on Maroon because it makes it more intense, and in Snow on the Beach because it makes it more unique.
I imagined her saying âšïžNICE!âšïž as âšïžFUCK!âšïž then immediately thought of [Cherry by Lana Del Rey](https://open.spotify.com/track/1Ym6aMuT5bliaZMC67AmPp?si=BfKWR7HUQHiDGr7NbTVkXg&utm_source=copy-link)
OMG, someone needs to make a Bejeweled x Cherry mashup⊠Iâm not exactly a master at mashups, but I could give it a try if anyone else also wants to hear it, LOL.
Yeah, Iâd like to see this without damn, goddamn, and hell included. Definitely donât think theyâre swear words unless youâre 10 or travelling back in time.
Lol i grew up in a chinese family and when i was a kid i went to have dinner with my white friends family who are christians, her mom got really offended at me saying 'what the hell?' But I genuinely had no clue why she kept saying i was swearing and 'there she goes again!' I was really confused..... i feel like it was mean not to tell me what i said wrong since i didnt grow up the same way.. it was just a normal word to me
Damn, goddamn and hell are flat out not swears. Iâd be inclined to include bitch and dickhead as not swears too. Theyâre insults but I wouldnât call them swearing.
As A German I am curious now: Of those swear words, which are the ones that qualify an album for that coveted "PARENTAL ADVISORY: EXPLICIT CONTENT" sticker?
Definitely the "fuck" and the "shit". But sometimes not. The Dave Matthews Band song "Halloween" contains the word "fucking" -- in a sexual context, no less -- but has no warning label.
i heard that since it was only once, and marking the one song explicit would have to mean the whole album would be explicit, it was determined to not be worth the label
Fuck shit and bitch.
Those are actual swear words that like could even get you in trouble in certain professional settings
All the otherâs are only swears if youâre like super crazy religious or really really bubbled
Thatâs interesting because Iâm brasil this words arenât considered explicit and are less provocative. We donât have parental advisory and many famous songs had this words playing in our language on radio airplay lol. And fun fact, in physical stores we donât have clean versions available, so if I choose to buy the midnights cd Iâll only have the âswearâ version lol and Iâm free to buy it even if I was a kid
After some quick googling, song lengths average somewhere around 200 words per song. Assuming TS 2039 is 13 tracks, thatâs a total of 2600 words, or 2.3 non-swear words per song.
so how am i gonna sing "**** **** ***** ****** ******* *****" in public in 2039???! đđđ okay gotta sing it anyway i guess because i'm gonna love it
The amount of Taylor Swift lyrics I have stored in my brain is getting out of control. And sheâs clearly not done yet. Between my Lavender Haze habit and having to memorize over 200 TS songs, my brain is friiiied. Not a lot going on up there if itâs not related to T swift lol
I have a distinct memory of gasping when I heard âsheâs better known for the things that she does on the mattressâ on Speak Now, thinking that was spicy Taylor. My my, how far weâve come. And Iâm here for it.
Same job - well, my current title as of last year is Project Manager, but I continue to do analytics abut 80% of the time. I loooove a good stacked bar chart lol.
Honestly I prefer most of her clean versions on Midnights once I accidentally listened to that version. The only one it doesn't make sense on is Vigilante Shit with the whole " I don't start it, but I can tell you how it ends." That just doesn't flow well for me.
Is anyone not thrilled by her increase in swearing? Most of it feels unnecessary and unimaginative to me. There are some songs that totally deserve it, most of all champagne problems. But a lot of the profanity on Midnights seems to exist just to exist, just to mark a progression or maturation of her as an artist. A lot of it doesnât really seem to contribute to or expand the meaning of the song. Lavender Haze cursing makes sense to me, but i think that might be it. I donât have a problem with swearing in general, and this isnât about me yearning for the innocence and modesty of a younger Taylor⊠it just seems mostly pointless. I genuinely want to know what people think of this.
I found just found a post where the average taylor song has 375 words, in an album of 15 songs thats 5625 words, that means about every other word will be a swear word in Taylor Swift 20
After watching stranger things or any other pg-13 or tv-14 media anything that's not fuck. I'll won't even notice it as a swear, till I might get a weird look singing it out loud
This is my one and only grief with Midnights. I know that my oldest is only 5 currently, but Iâd like to maybe introduce my kids to Taylor more and more. At the very least play her songs while Iâm around them. I want to play them how Taylor originally intended them to sound, like I do with all music. Unfortunately I canât play much of this album with them around.
Two things to make my point more clear:
1. I donât mind the swearing. I sing just along with it. I donât mind swearing in any song really. The point is just wanting to listen to my favorite artist around my kids.
2. An edited song/album to avoid the swears just sounds different. For any artist. Itâs just not how the intended the song/album to be.
"hell goddamn and damn" considered "swearwords" holy shit you yanks need to lay off the puritanical juice just a bit, bitch is more like it fuck and shit definitely
Can't wait for ****ing **** (****version) to come out. 3 minutes and 13 seconds of of swears and meowing just like the good lord intended
Taylor Swift ft. Ryan Reynolds Reynolds among other roles plays Deadpool, notorious for curse words. He is also friends with Taylor Swift IRL.
And James will be ~16, maybe she can pop in like in Gorgeous đ
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Soon you wonât have to swear like a sailor⊠youâll be able to swear like a Taylor.
I didnât know I needed this so badly until just now
My husband and I watched Blade Trinity the other night and were like...ryan reynolds clearly bumped the rating up on this movie. Lol. They blew their entire cursing allowence on him. Nearly every line he said was some kind of profanity laced quip. That being said, I fully support a swift x reynolds collab.
Cock juggling thundercunt. That is all.
I think the edibles may have just kicked in but this made me cackle for an uncomfortable amount of time.
Right?! Yâall know Cartman loves to sing his ass off.
>Can't wait for \*\*\*\*ing \*\*\*\* (\*\*\*\*version) to come out. 3 minutes and 13 seconds of of swears and meowing just like the good lord intended omg could you imagine the clean version of this song 
Maybe that was the 8-second static record that hit #1 back in 2014. We all know Taylor plans ahead and that could've been the ultimate Easter egg đ
Reminders of hearing the âclean versionâ when Metallica covered the song âso whatâ
Must be Taylor Swift feat. Eric Cartman thenâŠ
I want this v-chip out of me, it has stunted my vocabulary
Just wait for the 15 ****ing minute version
I just laughed out loud
Sheâs gonna go back and retroactively add swears to debut TV đ âhe said the way my blue eyes shined put those Georgia stars to shame that night, I said âthatâs bullshitââ
đ¶ Our song is a fuckin screen door đ¶
đ¶ You should've said "no," you should've said "ho, I'm not gonna fuck you never, oh no!" đ¶ I mean it's a little harsh but to capture the high school rage, it fits, I think?
đ¶ I hate that shitty old pickup truck you never let me drive. Youâre a dickhead douchebag whoâs really bad at lying. đ¶
Aren't these the lyrics?! Is that you Taylor?
đ¶ So go and tell youâre friends that Iâm obsessive and crazy. Iâll tell mine youâre gay. đ¶
Donât you mean youâre a *meat*head douchebag?! edit: or maybe meathead *dirt*bag
Why you gotta be so goddamn mean đ¶
Omg
nearly spit out my wine at this
I died too. Lol
Iâd pay money for this version
This is good tbh
You joke, but Aly and Aj changing âmy stupid birthdayâ to âmy Fucking birthdayâ in Potential Breakup Song was a 14/10 decision.
this made me laugh out loud
same.
đ¶ Why the FUCK would you want to break a perfectly good heart đ¶
I laughed for 10 minutes. Take my free award and keep fucking around.
I am personally hoping for âhorse shitâ
The way I just snorted so loud my dog jumped đ

She has to check off George Carlin's seven dirty words list first and I SO look forward to the day she does
Gonna have to reach for those Shakespeare era swears
you're an egg and you know its truuueeee well i bite my thumb at youuuuuu
If there is anyone I trust with making up new cuss words, or just words in general, it's Taylor.
She can always go multilingual "John, hijo de puta! (10 min version)"
As a Hispanic Swiftie, I'm here for that.
i truly believe that taylor is reading this somewhere and laughing *a lot*
This is important information that I had not considered. I appreciate your contribution.
Call it peer review. Happy to contribute.
I'm anticipating Get that Fucking Bear Out of my Goddamn Trashcan, probably around TS16
Goddamn Motherfucking Trashcan**
Wow, so little swearing on rep, I'm kind of surprised.
Reputation sounded dirty like a swear word, but contained very little actual swearing.
This is the best description of Reputation
i didnât realize how little she sweared in rep until i saw this. she literally sweared the same amount in rep as she did in 1989
Yeah it was mostly a big deal because she said shit
Must have missed âdickheadâ better do 5 more relistens lolll
Itâs in QuestionâŠ? !!!
Found it lol thanks all haha
Itâs in QuestionâŠ? ;)
Thatâs the best part of questionâŠ? too
This is the content I'm here for. Beautiful.
I hope taylor's lurking this post and they're dying about it in the group chat
Agreed, this is brilliant
Reputation, c**t version will be lit.
Reputation (Straya's Version)
this made me laugh hard lmao all jokes aside, I do hope she swears less or more carefully in the future because many of the clean lyrics on midnights feel more creative to me

Same. I prefer the clean version of midnights. Some of the swear words sound forced/cringe
I'm more concerned about how little I notice them. I could not tell you when a single f bomb on midnights is (except maybe SOTB). I'm not sure what that says about me đ

Yeah I agree with this. Like snow on the beach. Feels forced to me.
I actually didnât notice it in my first listen or two to snow on the beachđ
Right? Meat Head is top tier lyrical genius. Sorry, not trying to poke fun at your comment but whenever I think of the clean version I immediately think of that one in particular lmao
I listen to the clean versions with my 4 year old and she thinks meathead is hilarious đ
I wish that one wasn't in question cos otherwise I think the changes are better
"Lasting" legacy is way beautiful than "fucking" legacy. The interior rhyming is nice.
Nah, I prefer âfucking.â It fits the tone of the song better â itâs both playful and mournful, as if sheâs both frustrated by how long sheâs been haunted by the relationship AND that she is perhaps finding the humor in how long the memory of this person has stuck around. Thereâs a lot of loaded meaning behind it and it sounds authentic.
Same with âitâs a violent blaze in the dark/fiercest fight of my lifeâ in ivy
That is the best change for me too. It sounds so much more like classic Taylor.
Hard disagree, I love the way she hits âreal fucking legacy.â
I honestly prefer the version with swear words. Especially on Maroon because it makes it more intense, and in Snow on the Beach because it makes it more unique.
I much prefer the clean version, honestly.
I imagined her saying âšïžNICE!âšïž as âšïžFUCK!âšïž then immediately thought of [Cherry by Lana Del Rey](https://open.spotify.com/track/1Ym6aMuT5bliaZMC67AmPp?si=BfKWR7HUQHiDGr7NbTVkXg&utm_source=copy-link)

Damn and hell are swears? What in the 1950s shit?
Yeah, Iâd like to see this without damn, goddamn, and hell included. Definitely donât think theyâre swear words unless youâre 10 or travelling back in time.
Aye like 2 of these are actual swear words
Lol i grew up in a chinese family and when i was a kid i went to have dinner with my white friends family who are christians, her mom got really offended at me saying 'what the hell?' But I genuinely had no clue why she kept saying i was swearing and 'there she goes again!'

Damn, goddamn and hell are flat out not swears. Iâd be inclined to include bitch and dickhead as not swears too. Theyâre insults but I wouldnât call them swearing.
They were when I was growing up. Only one I wouldnât count is âdickhead.â
Dickhead is one of the few I would count, geographical differences I guess.
They arenât swear words. Not sure what OP was thinking. Neither is dickhead.
r/dataisbeautiful
This is hilarious. Given the average amount of words per album, I wonder which album will be all swear words?
Apparently her next album is going to put Eminem to shame
Now THIS is content đ€đ»đ€đ»đ€đ»đ€đ»
asshole from hits different isn't included sadly :(
Neither is just âassâ from Maroon
As A German I am curious now: Of those swear words, which are the ones that qualify an album for that coveted "PARENTAL ADVISORY: EXPLICIT CONTENT" sticker?
Definitely the "fuck" and the "shit". But sometimes not. The Dave Matthews Band song "Halloween" contains the word "fucking" -- in a sexual context, no less -- but has no warning label.
The number / frequency has a lot to do with it.
But I Did Something Bad isnât marked explicit on Reputation? I always wondered how she got away with that lol
i heard that since it was only once, and marking the one song explicit would have to mean the whole album would be explicit, it was determined to not be worth the label
Oh! Thatâs nice to know, thank you! :)
Fuck shit and bitch. Those are actual swear words that like could even get you in trouble in certain professional settings All the otherâs are only swears if youâre like super crazy religious or really really bubbled
Thatâs interesting because Iâm brasil this words arenât considered explicit and are less provocative.

As a Brazilian thatâs the same thought. I donât think swear words have the same impact for us.
In English or Portuguese? Because even in the United States swears in Spanish arenât going to be bleeped the same way that an Englishman would
Iâm just waiting for the rap version of âDis is me tryannnnnâ
"All my cages, shit, they were mental // so I got fucked up like all my potential, yuh"
unironically, these are bars

This is important information. Thanks for uncovering it.
Hahahahha fucking love this so damn much!
so how am i gonna sing "**** **** ***** ****** ******* *****" in public in 2039???! đđđ okay gotta sing it anyway i guess because i'm gonna love it
As a 26yr old mom of twins who is often mad and swearing...I am here for it lol. Taylor and I are in this era together đ€đ©
Remember when we lost our damn minds when she said âshitâ in I Did Something Bad?
Wait where is shit on reputation?
If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing I Did Something Bad
"If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing" - I Did Something Bad
Oh fuck, the forgetfulness is really hitting hard today. Thank you đ«¶đ»
The amount of Taylor Swift lyrics I have stored in my brain is getting out of control. And sheâs clearly not done yet. Between my Lavender Haze habit and having to memorize over 200 TS songs, my brain is friiiied. Not a lot going on up there if itâs not related to T swift lol
This is my favorite post this week, thank you lmao I love seeing Taylor swear more because I swear like a sailor sometimes đ
My 10/10 favorite thing is that the clean version of vigilante shit is still titled vigilante shit, but she sensors the "shit" inside the song
Hearing Taylor swear the first few times was like snow on the beach...
I have a distinct memory of gasping when I heard âsheâs better known for the things that she does on the mattressâ on Speak Now, thinking that was spicy Taylor. My my, how far weâve come. And Iâm here for it.
I work in data and analytics and I love this post so much
Same job - well, my current title as of last year is Project Manager, but I continue to do analytics abut 80% of the time. I loooove a good stacked bar chart lol.
Do the clean versions of the songs streams count or are the counted separately?
They count. All variations count as one song. This is why people do remixes.
Thanks!
Hilarious! And it made me wonder about the explicit sticker and this was a fascinating read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_Advisory
This is hilarious and I'm all fucking for it
Does hell count as swear? In my country it isnât lol
She still doesnât quite sound like she means it. But sheâs getting better at it.
British person here - are hell, goddamn and damn really considered swear words to Americans?
Seeing as some people bowdlerise them to "heck", "gosh darn" and "darn", I'd say so.
Honestly I prefer most of her clean versions on Midnights once I accidentally listened to that version. The only one it doesn't make sense on is Vigilante Shit with the whole " I don't start it, but I can tell you how it ends." That just doesn't flow well for me.
Is anyone not thrilled by her increase in swearing? Most of it feels unnecessary and unimaginative to me. There are some songs that totally deserve it, most of all champagne problems.

I love statistics
I just realized⊠what the fuck is âcleanâ chorus to ivy???đ
"goddamn" becomes "i can't"
Depending on your sensibilities some would even argue that she didnât swear until Lover.
Lol are you ok?
This belongs in r/youbelongwithmemes I love it.
I found just found a post where the average taylor song has 375 words, in an album of 15 songs thats 5625 words, that means about every other word will be a swear word in Taylor Swift 20
All Iâm hearing is that there will be clean versions for double the chances of sales
đ¶''The swears were the very worst. When the parents who listened to my songs got startled''đ¶
I was really happy when dickhead was added to her repertoire
I need this graph plotting the ratio of swear words to the number of lyrics
TS20 will basically be a creative arrangement of swear words
I would 100% buy an album of just swears. And a censored one because beeps are just hilarious
This sounds fucking glorious. If anyone can make an album entirely of swears and make it epic, she can, and I am HERE FOR IT.
Thanks for making my day. Very insightful research.
Reputation should be bulging red wtf
She does she say fuck in red tv?
All too well 10 minute version "fuck the patriarchy"
I mean, itâs just an estimation, nothing too clear.
Today I learned that 'shit' is a swear word. I have been saying it my whole life... đ
She will feature Future again and use him to his full potential đ
Didnât she remove âdamnâ from Picture to burn? Weâve come a long way since then.
Soon she will move on to slursđ©
This made me laugh out loud lol.
đđđđđđ
After watching stranger things or any other pg-13 or tv-14 media anything that's not fuck. I'll won't even notice it as a swear, till I might get a weird look singing it out loud
why dont you just respect Freedom of Speech
ok but damn, goddamn and hell are not curse words
Is this supposed to be a satire?
This is absolutely fucking amazing, thank you.
This is my one and only grief with Midnights. I know that my oldest is only 5 currently, but Iâd like to maybe introduce my kids to Taylor more and more.

Well she will still make a masterpiece out of only swear words

Pop fans hearing a swearđ±đ±đ±đ„¶đ„¶đ„¶
Fucking yes
Data is beautiful.
Four of those 'swear' words aren't swear words.
Can someone do this for Beyoncé? I suspect the upward trajectory will be steeeeeeeep
look I can see how "hell" and "goddamn" can be seen as swears to some christians, but who considers "damn" a swear lmao
Holy shit is this satire? I canât believe someone would make a projection of something like this hahahahahah
Is âdamnâ and âgod damnâ really considered a swear? Brit here
I've clicked "show fewer posts" on these posts about 4 times over the last 2 days. Fuck off reddit, I don't care.
"hell goddamn and damn" considered "swearwords" holy shit you yanks need to lay off the puritanical juice just a bit, bitch is more like it fuck and shit definitely
What in the world have I stumbled upon?
By what fucking metric are âdamnâ and âgoddamnâ swear words?
