Taylor Swift

I don't like your little games. Don't like your tilted stage.

The role you made me play of the fool, no, I don't like you.

I don't like your perfect crime. How you laugh when you lie.

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time. Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time.

I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined. I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!

I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me.

I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams.

The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama. But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma.

And karma's not a liar, she keeps receipts.

I'd be complex, I'd be cool. They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to. And that would be okay for me to do.

Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you. I'd be a fearless leader, I'd be an alpha type. When everyone believes ya, what's that like?

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can, wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man.

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again, 'cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man.

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars and getting bitches and models? And it's all good if you're bad and it's okay if you're mad.

If I was out flashing my dollars, I'd be a bitch, not a baller.

They paint me out to be bad, so it's okay that I'm mad.

There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.

I don't really think about things as 'guys versus girls.' I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life.

For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that's taking something that potentially should be celebrated — a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way — that's taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist.

As a teenager, I didn't understand that saying you're a feminist is just saying that you hope women and men will have equal rights and equal opportunities. What it seemed to me, the way it was phrased in culture, society, was that you hate men. And now, I think a lot of girls have had a feminist awakening because they understand what the word means. For so long it's been made to seem like something where you'd picket against the opposite sex, whereas it's not about that at all.
