Taylor Swift‘s surprise lyric change during her mash-up of “Clean” and “How You Get the Girl” from her 2014 hit album, 1989, continues to resonate with Swifties on social media.
During her October 27th Eras Tour concert in New Orleans, the Grammy-winning artist, 34, captivated the audience by singing segments from both songs, skillfully intertwining their choruses and even merging an entire line, leaving listeners deeply moved.
The new line that wowed fans was “that’s how you get clean” rather than “that’s how you get the girl.”
