Taylor Swift - Mean [HD] - CMA Music Festival 2011

[301brighteyes]

Got to be honest. I think I like taylor swift better not flying around the stage flinging her hair around. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but I enjoy her just standing there with a microphone singing better. Sort of reminds me of when she first started out. :)

[mellgopper]

She's perfeeeeeect

[DoublRainbow]

Is that an auto-tuned microphone????

[mooreg4life]

@DoublRainbow thats her secret

[TechnoGirl72]

haha she is sweating

[Withoutyou616]

My princess

[keitarof]

feels like.....im the character in the song...hehehehehhe just feeling..

[keitarof]

wow shes been so amazing in this.

[Rockeymaru]

Ooh, she doesn't have to be a half naked bitch to sing.

[sling3shot]

I'm an old 60's Beatle hippie and I gotta admit I'm starting to really like taylor Swift.She's no flash in the pan'She has alot of talent and at her age I would say the sky is the limit..

[Msdancesinglaugh]

I wonder how the people who bullied Taylor feel now. They have a song just for them, and now she's grown up and an amazing sing/songwriter. She won 2 grammys a few nights ago and not to mention that she absolutely gorgeous. I bet they regret saying or doing what they did now.

[clariitamolina999]

Hi, I wanted to ask for translations of the Cover Your Da One - Rihanna Megan Nicole, please do not find it anywhere: (

[sk82311]

People hate success. Your rock Taylor.

[mrtheoden]

funny about all the "she can't play banjo" comments. Last I looked at the wiki page for the banjo, they're all banjo's just variants. Quite a few famous jazz players played the Six string banjo too btw. I believe Taylor can play the 4 string banjo, 6 string, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano and ukele, as well as sing, write songs (lyrics and music). What can you nay sayers do other than sit on your asses and bitch? Jealousy much? Or are you just mean?

[bearcat54]

i'm not a country fan and I love this tuneeeeeee....great performance at the Grammys with it. BTW, I think taylor is beautifulllllllll

[Tonosakiba]

The autotune in this performance is epic.

[MrsKuraudoSutoraifu]

@Tonosakiba So is your comment :>

[TheMarywong]

She's won 2 Grammy's tonite. Enough said ;p

[josephXbliss]

@4lifejesusc she sounds average. You teeny booper fans make alot of glamour out of nothing. Have you seen REAL bands play? Real talent? Broaden your horizon dumbass.

[misssupercookie2011]

Love the way she went 'and a liar and pathetic' woo Taylor rules country and pop!!

[sheriffdoodle]

howdy tator

[MuzzonMusic]

it hits music

[JUSTINBIEBER1FANJB]

@perreaultaj (= i agree but now its 15!atleast its off her fav number

[MerryMankin]

i love her so much shes amazing!!!

[pigscanflyism]

she's sweaty

[djinocalinda]

did she perform it twice? its like i saw 2 performance on cma 2011 of mean with diferent clothes- one like this and another one dressed like the mean video (the broadway scene)

[TaylorSwiftMX]

is curious... she's not playing a banjo... actually this is a ganjo (guitar banjo)

[tigerbait134]

she will be the best selling artists by the time she dies

[4lifejesusc]

It's amazing how Taylor Swift does not need to lip sync, she has a perfectly wonderful voice and sounds amazing singing live. She is a true musician.

[cherrypopstickle]

@campfarm1234 there's more that 1

[kttsroxs]

this is far my favorite song on the album...

[Danielson184]

DAMN! Taylor Swift has got some sexy legs & lets be honest she has improved her live performances I can actually listen to her now without it sounding like someone scratching a chalkboard.

[icygirl341]

What's written on her arm?

[Andalious]

I love the looks she has on her face whilst singing "And a liar, and pathetic.." @ 2:46!!lol

[TheMichaelaCarter]

I love Taylor but she kinda sounded auto tuned)';

[maymeeez]

someday i will be living in big old city

i love this part </3

[MsSelenaDemiMiley1]

is that a real banjo or a guitar? :)

[Pitocco05]

@MsSelenaDemiMiley1

its a banjitar (6 string banjo) she actually cant play the banjo, she just likes to make it look like she can

[MsSelenaDemiMiley1]

@Pitocco05 Ok, thanks for the answer:P

[tayloooorrrhey]

@Pitocco05 lmfao, what? She knows how to play the banjo. Clearly someone has never seen behind the scenes of her tour...

[Pitocco05]

@tayloooorrrhey

thats a 6 stringed banjo. its played just like a guitar.

[TheLadyKatka]

@Pitocco05 she can also play ukelely and it's got, yes, 4 strings. She doesn't: LIKE to make it look.... She can do it..

[Pitocco05]

@TheLadyKatka

a ukulele is just SLIGHTLY different from a banjo (insert sarcasm here)

[Daiovila]

Come on! people, she is a good singer, maybe not the best, but is a really good singer. And is a wonderfull artist, because she is complete, she write her's songs, is really lovely with her fans, I'm proud of be a Swifty

[orensegrace10]

this song is for kanye west! nice

[cel864]

great



[falloutboy8181]

first video i've seen of her live where she can sing mediocre.

[bensong87]

I dont think shes on autotune. Every artist that sang on this stage had the same sound effect. Probably its the speakers.

[TheCavaliaHorse]

Love this song!! It's so fun to sing, too! Whenever my cousin and I do karaoke she always begs me to sing it. Love you Taylor!! -3

[SuperSuperfig]

her dress is reeally frilly and cool.

[OliviaL96]

Are you serious? She isn't auto-tuned, the mic is live & probably has some kind of weird thing going on with it. This is NOT auto-tune at all. If it were auto-tune it would sound a lot different live. Come on people, give it a rest.

[princessnat011]

MrLu4ever you are right it is her from ellen

[MrLu4ever]

0:46 that's that girl from Ellen who got The wonders truck costume!!! :D

[graseby13]

@MrLu4ever

No, that's an old mom of this girl who is standing beside her.

[MrLu4ever]

0:46.

[markelleclaireaah]

This might be a stupid question but does she have a tattoo now??

[SuperSuperfig]

@markelleclaireaah u r stupit dont say my taylor swift a stupit

[emptiedPMT]

she's so talented!

[Redmazurka]

I'm impressed. She can sing well live

[klutz94306]

That mandolin sounds very beautiful with this song. Taylors got a pretty good band backing her up.

[smshdanceer]

How can people hate on Taylor Swift?!? Sh'es an amazing songwriter, singer, and role model! She's better than all those people here that criticize her. If you have nothing nice to say about her then why the hell are you listening to her music?

[falloutboy8181]

@smshdanceer i agree she's a good songwriter, horrible singer, and awesome role model. 

[JUSTINBIEBER1FANJB]

@smshdanceer im with u. (= me and my friend k both love her!

[officialserena122]

@smshdanceer She is a great song writer but she's a whiny singer and sometimes she sings through her nose.

[JBmusicLovers]

She's using autotune....because she can't keep on key....ever....when she's live, especially. I feel stupid now, because in the beginning of this video, I was so proud of her, because I thought she had been taking some kind of vocal lessons to help her voice....but later on, I realized that her mic was autotuned... :( It's a shame when such a famous singer can't truely sing....

[xxxLolaSwiftxxx]

@JBmusicLovers No she isn't . On cma everyone had autotune. Taylor sounds great without it. And here she sound...weird .

[JBmusicLovers]

@xxxLolaSwiftxxx Girlie, you're clueless.... Search Taylor Swift - Mean (Live) by iFoundTrueLove (username) That's not CMA...so tell me why she's got autotune there. Lol

[mknsmkl01]

Did she use autotune here? That's weird, her voice sounds a bit... robotic Oo. Maybe that would explain why she's not out of tune as usual. But this is a good song.

[JBmusicLovers]

@mknsmkl01 She used autotune...

[shubham44467]

yes she is a talented amazing singer and song writer of u.s.a and she is only 21 years old "wish" i would be there "cause" i like all forigien country singers like avril lavigne,katy perry,selena gomez,ke$ha,britney spears etc. have you ever thought? that why this all singers have talent? and why they all are good in everyfield "cause" they have a confidence,willingness of doing something

[liltoman07]

OMG. SHE IS HORRIBLE LIVE!

[camillaiselin1]

@liltoman07 Really? Are there something wrong with your ears? This sounds EXACTLY like the studio version! My God, some people...

[camillaiselin1]

@liltoman07 I don't blame you for having decreased brain activity, obviously, but please let me know that day when you have won 10 AMA's, 6 CMT's and 4 Grammy's. Bitch please, her songs are meaningful and she are an amazing songwriter. Every artist are off key sometimes, but on this vid she is DEFINATELY not. Enough said.

[AliVillani97]

she's the best.

[Corthyn]

Thumbs up for the fiddler doing the "ride 'em, cowboy" ass slap.

[MelGemmaRichardson]

this song takes tay back to her country roots :)

[nicolemakeup17]

now she sings very well live

[MightySmallGirl]

This song Lift my spirit :( :))

[jonsmith3030]

SHE CAN SING LIVE NOW!?!?

[selloRaina244]

did anyone see her sweating a lot? I am pretty sure she is so tired.. with all tours and stuffs.. but she still try her best ! if anybody want to complain about her voice or anything, can you do anything like she did so far? no? so shut up...

[maymeeez]

pretty face& amazing voice <3

[conkylo]

Wow, this live version might even be better than the original recording!

[AllanDavidRock]

THIS WAS A FUN VIDEO TO WATCH.IT JUST LIT UP MY WHOLE EVENING.THE MUSIC AND LYRICS ARE REAL GOOD.SEEING THE WHOLE CROWD INTO IT ONLY ADDS EVEN MORE TO THE MAGICAL AURO THAT IS TAYLOR SWIFT.I LOVE THAT BANJO SOUND.THANKS FOR POSTING.

[MrLu4ever]

WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[BMTH0084]

buncha walmart shoppers and nascar fans........

[Taylormadness11]

All I can say is I LOVE THIS GIRL!

[rodenzkibaknez]

this is reaaally great!

[B1GxRED]

seems autotuned, still sounds great though!

[purplesoozie]

As most Taylor Swift fans know, Taylor's birthday is coming up on December 13th. Let us give her a present in our own way. If you love Taylor Swift, watch her 'You Belong With Me' video at least once on December 13th. Please copy and paste this message so all of Taylor Swift's fans can see this. Thanks!!!

[campfarm1234]

do they only have enough of a budget to get one mic?

[wa1pahu]

@campfarm1234 is that because in the history of country music or music of any genre it's absolutely unheard of for musicians on stage to share the same mic? Wow, that's so insightful of you to point the fact out. Your mother must be so proud of you....and your 5 friends that agree with you. How quaint.

[JLDAWJERHHCS]

@campfarm1234 whats wrong with one mic? Im not trying to be a jerk, just wondering

[brittanybree1]

@campfarm1234 guess ur familys budget couldnt afford to send u to a decent school because theres more than one mic.

[roxandra13]

i personally hate taylor... but peolpe PLEASE stop using autotune as an excuse for everything...  i dont think this is autotune, i don like her voice but shes not bad on this vid...

[rinafifteeen]

I adore Taylor & this song. Just one from my favourite songs <3

[coolanddark]

really great song!

[MindTrasnfer245]

12 ppl are mean this performance is breath taking she so effing talented!!!!

[sharkie15893]

lol so cute the girls singing along at 0:46 and their dad singin along too =D

[dreamingbiggreen]

i never realized how sweaty singers get on stage

[wqwalkthroughs]

@dreamingbiggreen Well they're running around and playing instruments and singing, and it's hot outside, so I'd imagine they would!

[biceparmwrestler]

@dreamingbiggreen Um, she's singing outdoors in the south in the summer in the humidity...you sweat standing still in the southern humidity :-)

[julmdel13]

I don't think shes using auto tune... I just listened to Sara Evans's performance and she sounded the same way

[nalditwisterron]

Did she use autotune or not?Just wanna ask cause some people say yes and some say no.

[LexiBenton2013]

@nalditwisterron No

[MsAymay]

whats written on her arm?

[21Babyson]

@MsAymay I think it says Remember but I'm not sure what the rest is.

[AquaAngel374]

Taylor is soooo amazing live! She's my celeb idol ^.^

[XXcamaritasXX]

she alway wears that dress ._.

[itsjustbecause95]

@katyca333 auto tune is what singers use to make their voice sound better.

[TaylorSwiftUrMyIdol]

Hahah looks like she had fun singing this song. She is so pretty & talented, she's the best.

[Katrinaprincess1]

i love this song!! its so much fun to sing!! im going to sing it and post it on my you-tube channel.

[selenagomez4ever813]

:/ Taylor Swift is AMAZING LIVE. I really don't know why they added autotune.. it sounds worse :/

[welovethebeach9]

Absolutely enchanting performance, Miss Taylor! You're confident, gorgeous, sweet, talented, and you're so true to yourself and other people! You aren't fake about anything at all and I JUST LOVE YOU SO FLASEIR93U285JFOA0! MUCH!!!!!!! AND I'M SEEING YOU IN CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *screams and faints*

[TOOTrux]

The red head , the brunet and the blond . the perfect <3

[MissNymwhen]

I can't imagine how you can hate her. No, she's not the best singer ever, but a good songwriter and shes SO sweet. She's adorable and such a good role model.

I love her.

[bensong87]

Those people who say shes on autotune, you're kind of wrong actually. She's sounds almost the same when i went to her concert. Dont doubt her singing. She's really good.

[melomanomar]

she actually kinda sings...mmm..

[rkmra86]

love Taylor very muchhh...

[kgmitchell]

Taylor Swift is an amazing performer and songwriter. I am a huge metal head and rarely listen to anything outside of that but I have three young daughters and they all love music and Taylor Swift is a huge influence on even what I do. I love this song . I hope she knows how much we love and appreciate what she does. She is a great role model for young girls and in the music industry today that is hard to come by. Please don't ever change Taylor, everything about you is perfect!!!

[liltoman07]

@kgmitchell Yeah but not an amazing singer. She is a horrible singer.

[shubham44467]

@kgmitchell hey! dude may i know your name

[AlienB78]

"13" in her hand seems the letter "B" hihi :)

[danaex15]

11 people mean ,liars and pathetic.

[skilletrockgirl]

Don't think this is good? GET A LIFE AND STOP WATCHING!

[sarahchewvideo]

I actually love her so much <3

[sharkie15893]

0:13 (lol the irony of that time "13) look at that crowd then look how confidently she performs and exposes her soul to them all - the mark of a great performer <3

[Cbluesrocker]

Her live singing is really getting better!

[sreyasadhakal]

luv it <3 <3 <3

[mikeandbone]

Dont sweat it Taylor there were people who made fun of Stevie Nicks too.

[td7266]

Liz is soooooo beautiful!!! She sure can sing her heart out !!!! Love Taylor's music

[sharishesteban]

WOOOOOoooooOOO!! I HEART YOU TAYLOR :*

[13DSwift]

those 8 people who disliked this are mean=(

[englishjumper123]

Nice autotune Taylor

[gossipsongs]

@englishjumper123 CMT edited this. Not Taylor.

[Hollywoodconnectiful]

@englishjumper123 you SUCK!!! dude, she's definitely not using autotune... You're just mean.

[steelgreenhorn]

:46 How cool to see what looks like a dad, mom, and daughter all singing the lyrics to the song. I hope for the sake of my 5 year old daughter I will never be "too cool" to enjoy good music with her. Although it may not be manly or my preferred genre, like it or not, Taylor Swift is multi-talented.

[musemic80]

Taylor: why you gotta be so perfect?

[NashRullz8]

i love how joesulub comes here everyday n he didn't realize he's helping this video to get more viewers.....

Taylor Swift don't hv time to see ur comments slut !

[buffalosbm1]

I like Taylor Swift, she's pretty cool.

[MSYRproductions]

..I..Love..You!.. :) xo

[joesulub]

STUPID-BITCH--SHE-CANT-SING-FO­R-SHIT-CMON-GUYS-STOP-OVEERRAT­ING-THIS-HILLBILLY-SLUT-YOU-SU­CK-TAYWHORE-SWIFT!!

[samster0221]

@joesulub Seriously?!? Can you just keep your mean comments to yourself? I know that everyone has their own opinions and views but seriously, what has Taylor done to you?

WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO MEAN?

[gui1985ufrj]

Taylor is amazing. Good music, good lyric, not auto-tone. Taylor, come to Brasil. We love you.

[victoriawongsm]

ok, hate all you want but i thought she's better off without the writing on her arm

[sarahbby100]

@deathpearl360 your an idiot, seriously grow up.

[FAB12UCB]

This is NOT auto tuned, its just the people who adjust the levels messed up. It was like this for everyone who performed. .

[MsBarnBum]

Oh, yea! Banjo solo!

[RACHELLUMS]

wow, her accent is extremely evident here! aw shes awesome.

[marky658]

@deathpearl360 As far as I'm concerned, MOST black singers only sing about alcohol, drugs, and sex, and most of them really can't sing, they just rap, or have their voices auto-tuned. I have nothing against black singers, since there are also very good black singers, but you shouldn't be judging her like she is doing something wrong.

[tristamayo]

Taylor is so Talented. Wish I could go to one of her live concerts!

[jerrielandvincent]

U SUCK bITCH!! u SUCK HO!! WhITE PEOPLE CANT PERFORM SHIT!!!!!
