 Although they still maintain that her grammar is wrong. 
 
 Grammar nerds who are also Swifties -- take note. You could score the chance to hit up a Taylor Swift show in the near future simply by doing what you do best: being sticklers to the extreme about words. 
 
 That's right, The Princeton Review is offering two grammatically stellar fans Swift seats -- all as part of an apology to the "Blank Space" singer. 
 
 What now? 
 
 For those not in the know, the dust was kicked up this week when a Taylor Swift fan noticed that The Princeton Review had used one of the singer's lyrics in an SAT prep book as an example of poor grammar. 
 
 Sure, that was insulting enough to the Swiftie, but what's worse is that the lyric -- from the song "Fifteen" -- was incorrect. Taylor even entered the fray, posting, “You had one job, test people. One job" to Tumblr, along with the offending image of the test book. 
 
 The "Test People," for their part, were appropriately cowed. 
 
 "I want to make sure that folks know that we're big Taylor Swift fans and that we apologize for the misrepresentation in the lyric," The Princeton Review's SVP-publisher Rob Franek told MTV News on Tuesday (March 24), noting that the Review reached out to Swift on Twitter and asked her to pick two fans to score tickets to her next show. 
 
 Still, Franek wasn't entirely apologetic about using the lyric in the first place as a lesson in poor grammar. "I appreciate her response, but the question on the grammar still holds true," he said. 
 
 "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," he added. 
 
 So, in order to fix the Tay's grammar, you'd have to take, "Somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them" and change it to either: 
 
 "Somebody tells you he/she loves you, you're gonna believe him/her." 
 
 Or: "Some people tell you they love you, you're gonna believe them." 
 
 I think we all learned a valuable lesson today. Now, Taylor, about those tickets... ||||| Taylor Swift has spotted a serious error in an SAT prep book question featuring one of her song lyrics. 
 
 Adults are so lame. Just the lamest! Especially when they’re trying to relate to kids, clumsily trying to get on their level and have a rap session with them. It almost never works. Look at this latest example of adults making a huge boner while trying to dialogue with kids. It comes from maybe the lamest sector of adulthood, the Princeton Review, those nagging nerds who are always on about studying for the SATs and stuff. They’re adults who are thrilled that kids have to take a big, long, dumb test. Really lame. And now they’ve gone and bungled badly while writing a test prep question featuring Taylor Swift, breathy voice of a generation. How embarrassing! 
 
 What happened was this: some teen, whose handle is myswiftlifee, so is presumably a Taylor Swift fan, was studying for the SATs, as so many teens must do (some teens study for the ACTs, other teens study for nothing), using a Princeton Review prep book. He or she arrived at a grammar section that attempted to use pop song lyrics as examples of improper pronoun usage. They cited Katy Perry lyrics, Whitney Houston (so hip, so now), Lady Gaga, and of course Taylor Swift. The Tumblr user screenshotted the questions and made a little comment, which Taylor Swift herself, also a Tumblr user, then reblogged, pointing out the Princeton Review’s big dumb error: 
 
 They got the lyrics wrong. 
 
 Oh for heaven’s sake! Come on, Princeton Review. “You had one job, test people,” Swift says in her Tumblr post. And she’s right. They had one job: to get these dang lyrics right so they could properly teach kids how to ace the SATs. And they didn’t freaking do it. 
 
 The lyric they quoted is: “Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe ‘em.” Which, presumably, is meant to be a lyric from Swift’s smash-hit, early career-defining jam “Fifteen.” (I think the improper grammar there is that it should be “you’ve got to believe ‘em”? Is that right? I don’t know, I took the SATs well over a hundred years ago.) (Update: As a few very kind people on Twitter have pointed out, the actual grammatical error is a disagreement between "somebody" and "they." Which, yes, is technically grammatically incorrect, but maybe not for long. I regret the error, as do my English teachers and probably my editors.) The problem is, the actual lyric is, as Swift points out in the tags to the Tumblr post, “Somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them.” She then adds the tag “#ACCUSE ME OF ANYTHING BUT DO NOT ATTACK MY GRAMMAR.” Boom. Ya burnt, Princeton Review test prep. Ya got burnt by Taylor Swift. 
 
 What do we think happened here? Do we think someone deliberately changed the lyrics so they could introduce a grammatical error (beyond a deliberate one like “gonna”) that would fit the question? Did someone at the Princeton Review just remember their Taylor Swift incorrectly? It’s a mystery. But I’m so happy that Swift caught the error and schooled the schoolers. Turns out she was paying attention in high school, not just writing dreamy songs about it. 
 
 I’m curious what the other acts whose lyrics are quoted in the question think about this whole thing. If you asked Lady Gaga, she’d probably say, “Of course I’ll sing a song for you” and then launch into an hour-long set of old standards. Katy Perry, meanwhile, is probably furrowed of brow, earnestly trying to figure out what’s wrong with her grammar, mouthing the words to herself as she reads, having dim memories of taking her own SATs, poor thing. Poor, poor thing. 
 
 But Taylor Swift? She nailed it. She really did. She’s just so good at so many things, isn’t she? She can write the heck out of a pop tune, usually with correct grammar. She tends to handle press attention with a disarming goofiness that belies a calculated aloofness. And, as evidenced here, she engages with her fans, many of them adolescents who flail around her doing mad, hormonal fever dances, with a particular kind of dexterity. She’s connected to them, speaks their language, makes a happy meme of herself without really doing much of the faux self-deprecating, “I’m such a mess!” stuff that, say, the kids at Thought Catalog have done to engage with their similarly aged fans. Good for her. Taylor Swift knows exactly what she’s doing. 
 
 Or, I dunno, maybe she’s just a weirdo, another lame adult, who likes talking to teens on the Internet. Either way, we’re glad she’s doing it.
– Taylor Swift called out the Princeton Review this week for misquoting her lyrics and accusing her of using bad grammar, and yesterday the test prep company told MTV that, while it's sorry for the misquote, it stands by the poor-grammar claim. The "Fifteen" lyric, as quoted in the SAT prep book, was: "Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe 'em." The actual lyric, "Somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them," is equally wrong, says a Princeton Review rep. "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," he explains. So the grammatically correct version of the lyric would be: "Somebody tells you he/she loves you, you're gonna believe him/her" or "Some people tell you they love you, you're gonna believe them." Even so, Princeton Review feels bad enough about the misquote that it tweeted yesterday, "Sorry @taylorswift13! We'll make it up to you. Pick a #grammar lover fan. 2 tickets to a U.S. show on us!"
