Taylor Swift has confirmed that “Slut!” is one of the five vault tracks being released on 1989 (Taylor’s Version) and now her comments about slut-shaming have resurfaced.

The pop star previously talked about being slut-shamed while speaking to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in a 2019 interview.

Taylor opened up about her experience with slut-shaming when she was 23, which was when she was in the middle of writing the 1989 album.

“When I was, like, 23 and people were just kind of reducing me to … kind of making slideshows of my dating life and putting people in there that I’d sat next to at a party once and deciding that my songwriting was like a trick rather than a skill and a craft,” Taylor said.

She continued, “In a way, it’s figuring out how to completely minimize that skill by taking something that everyone in their darkest, darkest moments loves to do, which is just to slut-shame, you know? That happened to me at a very young age, so that was a bit hard. That was one of the first times I was like, ‘Wow, this is not fair.’”

Taylor added, “I don’t think people understand how easy it is to infer that someone who’s a female artist or a female in our industry is somehow doing something wrong by wanting love, wanting money, wanting success. Women are not allowed to want those things the way that men are allowed to want them.”

Taylor also talked about how things have changed since she was 23, especially with the #MeToo movement, which had just started at the time.

“I think when I was the youngest, it was hard because I didn’t understand why nobody was saying that this was wrong,” Taylor said. “We have made incredible progress. We’ve made incredible strides and I can look back at those lessons I learned when I was younger and I really truly don’t think I did anything wrong by having a normal dating life in my early 20s.”

Taylor revealed the titles to the five vault tracks in a very unique way!
