Taylor Swift's controversial song "I Hate It Here" has fans divided about the pop star's racial lens and lyricism.
"My friends used to play a game where we would pick a decade, we wished we could live in instead of this / I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists and getting married off for the highest bid," Swift sings.
The track from "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology," a deluxe version of her album that features 31 songs, is about her discontent and the way recollections are distorted by nostalgia. It also marks the first time Swift has sung about race in her music.
Experts, critics and fans are analyzing the reactions – and backlash – to Swift's "I Hate It Here."
