“Mean”
Swift makes no qualms about wishing ill will against a reviewer she felt didn’t quite play nice on this track off Speak Now. In an interview Swift said the banjo-filled song was her response to a critic’s rather unpleasant review of her duet performance with Stevie Nicks at the GRAMMYs in 2010, which he (and others) thought was off-key, writing that she “couldn’t sing” and had “shortened her career” with that performance. The critic was later revealed to be Bob Lefsetz, a much maligned blogger and early supporter of Swift, who was very wrong in his career-ending prediction. Love was definitely lost after his diatribe as Swift makes very clear in this spiteful song that has her hypothesizing that’ll he’ll soon be “washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things/Drunk and grumbling on about how I can’t sing.” Unfortunately, he hasn’t quite yet found found himself a seat at the bitter bar and is still writing about Swift.
