Swift ‘schools’ Princeton for attributing bad grammar to wrong lyric

Taylor Swift has some choice words for The Princeton Review.

And those words are not ones found on the SAT college exam.

Princeton cited the singer’s lyrics as an example of bad grammar on one of its practice tests — but it got the lyric wrong.

In a section titled “Grammar in Real Life,” the question states, “Pop lyrics are a great source of bad grammar. See if you can find the error in each of the following.”

After questioning lyrics from Katy Perry, Whitney Houston and Lady Gaga — apparently only female singers have faux pas in their songs — the test cites Swift’s song “Fifteen.”

The practice test reads:

“Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe ’em.”

But the actual lyric goes:

“Somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them.”

Princeton — although tweeting an apology to Swift — pointed out that the correct lyric is still grammatically incorrect.

“If we look at the whole sentence, it starts off with ‘somebody,’ and ‘somebody,’ as you know, is a singular pronoun and if it’s singular, the rest of the sentence has to be singular,” Princeton Review senior VP and publisher Rob Franek told reporters.
