Correcting Taylor Swift's grammar does not, historically, have a great success rate. Earlier this year, the Princeton Review asked students to find the grammatical error in a Swift lyric, forgetting that Swift is flawless and misquoting her in the process.
This week, a Swiftie, who was willing to compromise her relationship with Taylor to defend the English language, took issue with the caption on a Polaroid that was included as part of Swift's "1989" deluxe CD package.

The Tumblr user pointed out the lack of an apostrophe in the contraction "it's" in the handwritten "Wildest Dreams" lyrics. Swift countered by saying the apostrophe was there but it overlapped with another letter -- which is exactly the sort of thing someone who is caught carelessly forgoing apostrophes would say. Swift then proceeded to grammar shame the fan for her errors.
The fan, however, will not be joining Katy Perry on the list of T-Swift enemies, because the exchange was all in good fun.
Swift finished off the Tumblr post with some creative hashtags.
Her attention to detail can only help her grasp of the rules of grammar.
