The real Taylor Swift may not consider herself a feminist, but a parody Twitter account is reworking lyrics from some of her most popular songs to address feminist issues. And it's pretty great.
The account @feministtswift posted its first tweet on Wednesday, and amassed more than 15,000 followers in just a few days.
Like T. Swift's original songs, the parodied lyrics sound undeniably catchy — even when referencing gender equality. A few notable examples, and the songs they sampled from:
1. "Love Story"

It's a love story / Baby just say yes / because consent should always be freely and enthusiastically given— FeministTaylorSwift (@feministtswift) June 13, 2013
2. "22"

I don't know about you / But I'm feeling 22 / cents underpaid on the dollar— FeministTaylorSwift (@feministtswift) June 13, 2013
3. "We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together"

4. "White Horse"

I'm not a princess / This ain't a fairytale / I'm writing my own story / With a strong female hero— FeministTaylorSwift (@feministtswift) June 14, 2013
5. "You Belong With Me"

It's been true all along, so why can't you see-ee-ee / Gender isn't necessarily a binary-y-y / Not a binary— FeministTaylorSwift (@feministtswift) June 14, 2013
6. "Mine"

"I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter / She is the best thing that's ever been mine" / Hold on, why am I a man's property?— FeministTaylorSwift (@feministtswift) June 14, 2013
