Amusing to see Kats still obsessed with Taylor and also admitting their ignorance of her discography.
I'll help out. Taylor wrote Mean about Bob Lefsetz. She won two Grammy's for it. For those who don't know, Bob Lefsetz is a music critic. This is what he wrote about this years Super Bowl performance
Quote:
As for Katy Perry, who was she playing to? Her audience is little girls, the audience for the Super Bowl is oldsters.
...
Katy Perry up close and personal in HD demonstrated that she coasted to fame on hits written by others and there’s nothing there other than someone hungry to make it.
First of all, you couldn’t even hear Katy. You knew she was singing, but the mix was so off her voice was overwhelmed by the crowd noise.
And booking Lenny Kravitz is little better than booking Fabian. A has-been who’s never been able to come back, why did he get this chance? Because he wouldn’t upstage Katy and/or he would appeal to the dads who remember the nineties? Lenny’s being excoriated online, as he should be.
And Katy believes it’s all about production.
That’s how far we’ve come. Knowing how to sing, play and write are irrelevant.
And that works when you’re playing to your fans. But when you put on your empty calorie show to the world we sit there dumbfounded. This is what music is about? This is the best they can come up with?
No wonder music gets no respect, no wonder why most people don’t care. Pop may own the chart, but if you’re not twelve or in the business you don’t care.

Kats can decide whether he is Mean or not.
Taylor wrote Bad Blood about some unnamed female singer, who proved to be a back stabber and false friend. We are not sure who that is, but Kats seem to believe the description fits Katy.
