“betty” is from the perspective of “James” who is explaining to “betty” rumor she might have heard from “Inez”. This is an apology from an unfaithful 17-year-old boy to the young girl who is his high school childlike. Swift uses her country roots and her southern accent rings true throughout the song. This is the first song in a while that has a twang and rustic guitar. This is a song that people can sing along to and is a highlight to her older musical style.
