The Grammys's performance of this song is so iconic, because she changed the lyrics in the last chorus saying "someday I'll be singing this at the Grammys" which just soooooo iconic, I even have like the urge everytime I hear this song to sing that version, from the Grammys. She did kinda a similar thing two years later when she changed the lyrics of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.

She pulls off savage while still being sweet to perfection ❤😂

Well, she moved to New York. And now, she is the biggest artist on the planet. Mission accomplished. I'd say that qualifies as better than revenge, lol.

"Mean" was written after a particularly savage review of one of her early concerts. Swift was like 18 or 19 when she wrote this song, and the critic was a middle-aged guy from a small town newspaper.

The music critic that inspired this song is still talking shit about her 15 years later so I love how you guys were like “if you’re the guy this song is about, you’ve gotta be feeling really shitty”. I hope he finds this video one day so he can see how other dudes think of him.😂

We would love for him to find this video. Really take a look at Taylor, then reflect on himself and realize what she has accomplished is nothing short of amazing and inspiring. She is the real deal😎😎

I also love how this song is a message to her audience about bullying and just because someone says something mean about you, you should never feel less of yourself, all they are ever going to be is mean. It makes me feel like when im sad about someone being mean or feel like I have no one, I have Taylor because she understands me.

What a time to be a swiftie 🪕 🎸 🐍🎤

She wrote this song about one critic who in 2009/2010 was really harsh on her, he didn't even give any real constructive criticism, he just straight up decided a teenager will be his enemy and started attacking her for nothing and all he was was mean. Taylor performed at the Grammys in 2010 and it wasn't her best performance, she performed You Belong With Me with Stevie Nicks (who has completely different style of singing) and it was also in completely different arrangement she wasn't used to. It wasn't that bad, but this critic spoke complete shit about it, he said Taylor can't sing and stuff like she's talentless and bla bla bla. This was probably the day Mean was born. By the way 2 years later Taylor performed Mean at the Grammys and in performance she changed lyrics and she sang ''someday I'll be singing this at the Grammys''. She also won 2 Grammys for this song. You would think that after she called him mean lonely pathetic liar and loser in a song that he got some sense, but no. Still until this day 13 years later he's still writing shit about her. So Taylor was right, she became best selling, most-streamed global phenomenon superstar who is every other day breaking another record and all he ever will be is mean loser.

country taylor is so savage

This is one of many reasons so many people love Taylor, shes dorky and silly and quirky and sarcastic and she pokes fun at herself!!! Shes so big, but also so normal if that makes sense!

I knew you guys were going to die at that savage part😂😂😂 The only better performance is from the Grammys & she won for that song that night-& ridiculously, the middle aged critic who inspired this song that became an anthem against bullies everywhere, TO THIS DAY is still talking shit about Taylor to anyone who'll listen! Great reaction as always boys!

Someone on tiktok was curious as to how the guy is doing now and she found out he still puts out articles criticizing Taylor Swift, but then again his articles won't be found if someone didn't search for it. So... The song mean especially its bridge says so much about his irrelevancy now while Taylor's making millions in her tour 😂

Yes, please do the Grammy's performance of this song by Taylor!

the grammy performance is amazing

The Grammy performance version of this is superior because the song was inspired by a guy that criticized a performance that Taylor did at a previous Grammys!!

I really love the line "i'll be big enough so you can't hit me." It makes me think of a little kid getting bullied and being afraid all the time but i LOVE how it also means that one day she will be big enough in fame that what he said won't matter anymore. i wonder what that guy thinks now!

You can find out, he’s still writing shitty articles about her. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Y’all never cease to make me laugh. She has so many amazing live performances!

Taylor wrote this about critic, and figured it would only be meaningful to her. Then it went on to be a huge anti-bullying anthem for so many people. (If I recall correctly)

I think you’d also enjoy her SNL Monologue Song (la la la).

Never tired of swift Sunday!! 🫶🏻

This is got to be the funniest reaction ever. I had never seen this performance. If you decide to react to the new MV "I See You", you should watch the Mean MV, the 2 girls in it, are in the new MV.

Jeremiah: She singing so good And yet Taylor: about how I can’t sing

Mean is one of my fav songs from TS…💕 Great reaction from you! 😊

yep, she's in many big ole cities now🙌🏻👏🏼

You should have seen Taylor performed this song at the Grammys, spoiler; the performance was so simple but damn as savage as hell she was😂

I love how much the bridge applies to her life right now! Watching a football game? I love it even more!

You guys should watch Mean Live at the Grammys!!!

Love ya'lls reactions!

When I first listened to Taylor 12 years ago, my fav part also was "and liar??and pathetic?"

The crazy thing is the man who she wrote this about is still writing articles hating on her for every chance he gets. Like he said people should blame taylor for the ticketmaster situation.She really predicted the future with "Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things Drunk and grumblin' on about how I can't sing "

I watched 1000 times!! You guys are so funny!! Hugs from Brazil

Speak now is one of her most savage eras! You should react to more from that album 💜

Every time I watch a reaction video from you guys, you make me smile so big! I love how you love Taylor. ❤️

Brilliant reaction 😂😂

Lmao I loved this reaction!!! Taylor is the best, and Mean definitely is one of her most underrated songs! It's a great song! ❤ You guys are so funny, and I smiled watching you two die at Taylor's savageness! 😂 Love the reaction!!! I always look forward to your Taylor reactions ❤

Classic

Please do the Grammy performance of this!

I wonder if she knew she would be SO big. She has twelve straight #1 albums, 200 Top 100 singles, and her current tour will net her over $1B.

She won a Grammy for this song.

I like to do everything for dramatic effect❤ while trying to stay positive 😊

She wrote this because a critic wrote a really mean article on her and how she can’t sing. LOL look at her now, and this song won a Grammy 😄

Loved watching you guys smiling, laughing, and enjoying this "Country Taylor" song, which is one of my favorites of hers. Complete with someone playing the fiddle and Taylor on banjo! 👍 Jeremiah.... lol

LOVEEEE IT 😅❤ please please react to Grammy's version 😊 love u guys

Should do the actual Mean music video reaction and then the I Can See You music video reaction

Back when her country accent still can be heard

We want dear john Taylor's version reaction!

Dude please react more B.A.P Mv's👑

It’s a anti bullying song.

PS: 10 thumbs up.

Lmao she is so savagely petty. The guy this song is about she invited that journalist to one of her shows and SHE SANG THIS aahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahhaha!!!!

You said that "this has got to be the best thing ever"... well, here is Taylor's Acceptance speech at the Grammys: kzread.info/dash/bejne/op1txNCkg5OzgrQ.html

Considering Bob Lefsetz is tripling down on all of this by saying that she can't even sell out stadiums and people are confused by the hype, all I can think to say is, "But nobody's listening...Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things...." If ego were in human form. lol

You should really react to the Mean Grammy performance. It’s way more epic than this.
