That's still one of my favorite Taylor songs, I wish she would do more folky country stuff like that.

Back in 2010, he sorta flip flopped between liking Her and disliking Her. After Her less than stellar performance at the 2010 Grammys, he wrote that "She ruined Her entire career" that night. Her next two albums subsequently opened with over 1 million copies sold, so he was clearly dead on with that prediction.
Note that there's no confirmation that "Mean" is about him. He's only vain enough to claim that it is, and he's not the only one. Country music blogger Triggerman at Saving Country Music also claims to have inspired "Mean." When I personally listen to the song, bits and pieces of it make me think of Perez Hilton. It's entirely possible that "Mean" was inspired by a combination of these- and other- people.
