Taylor Swift quietly updated a pair of her Reputation tracks.
PEOPLE can confirm that the pop megastar added spicy new lyrics to two songs from her 2017 album — “I Did Something Bad” and “Delicate” — on Apple Music, which updated Swift’s records to Dolby Atmos sound.
On the original version of “I Did Something Bad,” the lyric “But if he drops my name, then I owe him nothing / And if he spends my change, then he had it comin’” has been changed to “If a man talks s—, then I owe him nothing / And if he calls me a bitch, then he had it comin’.”
There’s also a swap on “Delicate,” which originally had the lyric, “Oh, damn, never seen that color blue,” and has now been swapped for, “Goddamn, never seen that color blue.”

Some fans speculated that Reputation (Taylor’s Version) could be on the way.
“we’re fr about to get reputation tv shes so funny,” one user wrote on X.
Another fan wrote on the social media platform, “REPUTATION TV IS SILENTLY ROLLING OUT??? I FORGIVE U MISS SWIFT OMG.”
Before regaining control of her masters in May 2025, the 14-time Grammy winner, 35, re-recorded versions of her first six albums Fearless, Red, Speak Now and 1989.
But after getting her masters back, Swift addressed whether she’d still release the re-recordings of Reputation.
“I know, I know. What about Rep TV? Full transparency: I haven’t even re-recorded a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it. All that defiance, that longing to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief,” she wrote in an emotional statement posted to her website.
Swift added, “To be perfectly honest, it’s the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn’t be improved upon by redoing it. Not the music, or the photos, or videos. So I kept putting it off. There will be a time (if you’re into the idea) for the unreleased vault tracks from that album to hatch.”
