Taylor Swift decided to release rerecordings of her previous albums after music manager Scooter Braun obtained her music catalog (via Entertainment Weekly). Fans have gotten “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” and “Red (Taylor’s Version)” albums rerecorded. Both have had their unique changes to the songs or visuals, and there was a particular song on “Red (Taylor’s Version)” that got the attention of fans.
Nylon reported that Swift’s re-recorded song, “The Lucky One” referenced pop icon Britney Spears. The song’s premise is about becoming a star and how it’s not what everyone makes it out to be. In the song, Swift sings, “And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page / And they tell you that you’re lucky, but you’re confused / ‘Cause you don’t feel pretty you just feel used.” Many believed the original version was in honor of Joni Mitchell, who took a step back from the spotlight after her career blew up.
Now it seems like the new version of the song has taken on a whole other meaning. The outlet reported that the song’s Spotify visual showed Swift referencing Spears’ music video for her song, “Lucky.” In the visual, Swift can be spotted combing her hair similarly to the way Spears did in the “Lucky” music video. This makes sense to fans as to why Swift referenced the “Gimme More” singer. Spears’ song is also about how people believe fame is a dream when in reality it’s not.
