Country star Taylor Swift recently gave a grammar lesson to a fan, who first told her that she might've forgotten to put an apostrophe in handwritten lyrics of her 1989 song "Wildest Dreams".
The lyrics that read, "Say you'll see me again, even if its just in your wildest dreams," are written in one of the polaroid photos from the deluxe edition of Swift's latest album.
The fan named Maddy Werch then wrote on Tumblr, "uh, taylor there's supposed to an apostrophe s on its btw."
In her response, Swift, 25, first defended herself, saying
that she did put an apostrophe on the word "its," but it "blended into the Y above it."
The "Shake It Off" hitmaker went on to make corrections to Werch's post.
"But if we're being all fancy with grammar tonight, btw would've had a comma before it. And the 'U' is 'uh' would've been capitalized. And there would've been some sort of punctuation at the end of the sentence.
