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.”

Another replied: “One of the finest performances” as someone else concurred, noting: “That is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” One other Swiftie added: “she’s so clever.”
In an extended video also shared on X, the “Cruel Summer” singer remarked that the night commemorated the 10th anniversary of the release of 1989. Before revealing the aforementioned viral lyric change, Swift acknowledged that the 1989 anniversary was “pretty special.”
Swift unveiled her fifth studio album in October 2014, and dropped the re-recorded Taylor's Version edition in October 2023 with previously unheard songs from that era.
The pop superstar's next Eras Tour show will take place at Toronto's Rogers Centre on November 14th.
