==Background==
In an interview with ''E! News'' before the release of her third studio album, ''Speak Now'', Swift said that "Mean" is a response to people who criticize whatever she does. She said, "There's constructive criticism, there's professional criticism, and then there's just being mean. And there's a line that you cross when you just start to attack everything about a person." In an interview with ''Dose.ca'', Swift said that she wrote the song to get back at her critics, saying, "There's a song called 'Mean,' that I guess you could categorize it into feelings and or relationships but it's actually about a critic." In a later interview with ''60 Minutes'', Swift revealed that the critic was someone who attacked her performance with Stevie Nicks at the 52nd Grammy Awards, where she sang off-key. This critic is reputed to be Bob Lefsetz who gave a critical review on his blog, The Lefsetz Letter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mean by Taylor Swift Songfacts )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grammys )〕
