NEW YORK (AP) —The Princeton Review is acknowledging its mistake to Taylor Swift. A fan had sent Swift a sample question from a Princeton Review SAT prep book using Swift’s song “Fifteen” as an example of poor grammar. The question had the lyric as “Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe ’em.” It’s actually “Somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe ’em.” Swift’s response to the fan, “Not the right lyrics at all pssshhhh. You had one job, test people. One job.” Princeton Review has tweeted an apology to Swift and asked her to choose a grammar fan for two tickets to one of her shows, on the company’s dime. Technically, the grammar in the correct lyric is still wrong. Proper English would be, “If somebody tells you he or she loves you, you’re going to believe him or her.”
