Taylor Swift憑借《Mean》完全否決了質(zhì)疑者

《Mean》是一首由美國(guó)新生代鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)女歌手泰勒·斯威夫特演唱的勵(lì)志小民謠，收錄自她的第三張專(zhuān)輯《Speak Now》(愛(ài)的告白，2010)。這首歌由Taylor編寫(xiě)，內(nèi)森·查普曼負(fù)責(zé)制作?！禡ean》囊括歌詞的抒情細(xì)節(jié)和深厚的鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)聲音，并從音樂(lè)評(píng)論家那兒得到了正面的評(píng)價(jià)。 這首歌于2011年3月13日被送往美國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)廣播電臺(tái)播放，并作為第三單于同日發(fā)布。

《Mean》被認(rèn)作將矛頭直指那些批評(píng)她在格萊美獎(jiǎng)上演出失水準(zhǔn)的評(píng)論者。她在歌詞中如是寫(xiě)道：“你們醉醺醺的指責(zé)我不會(huì)演唱/ 但是你們對(duì)于生活只有苛刻/你們是一些說(shuō)謊者/可憐兮兮而孤獨(dú)一生。”

泰勒憑借此曲第一次在鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)協(xié)會(huì)獎(jiǎng)以及2011年4月3日的第46屆奧斯卡大獎(jiǎng)上演出。在第54屆格萊美獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)典禮上，歌曲贏得了最佳鄉(xiāng)村歌曲和最佳鄉(xiāng)村獨(dú)唱兩項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)。

這首歌的歌詞完全否決了那些質(zhì)疑泰勒·斯威夫特唱功的荒謬評(píng)論。
