By The Boot Editors Posted May 9th 2011 03:00AM

Taylor Swift proves there is no limit to her imagination with the music video for her latest single, 'Mean.'

A series of vignettes, showcasing the different shapes and sizes in which bullies come, are weaved throughout the tune, and leave the persecuted party with the uplifting knowledge that their tormentor is just mean.

Whether you're a classic damsel in distress (portrayed by Taylor herself), shunned ballerina, hardworking Chippy Cheddar's sign girl or high school football team dropout, you can overcome those who are determined to keep you down.

You mean this video wasn't "leaked"? Then it must suck.

She has a tin ear and can't sing if her voice isn't mechanically manipulated.

Swift keeps bullying the American public with her awful singing.

Say what you want...the girls got talent! Jealousy, it's a ugly thing. By the way, if you haven't figured it out yet, YOU don't have to listen!

Celebrities don't care about those being bullied unless it involves a gay person. That is the only time that those will a platform will speak out. It is a shame that others have to suffer with no one to speak on their behalf.

By Steve Schieszer

Taylor Swift has done a good thing...She is using her gift/talent to raise awareness about a growing concern. Bullying is a real problem. It is not just a gay/lesbian issue, it is a human issue. "Mean" portrays the human condition and inspires hope. It takes more than courage to take a stand. Those who are critical of others should look at the three fingers that are pointing back at them, as they point their one finger. Taylor, very good!

Taylor has my respect for doing this, I only wish some people would listen, and learn.
I used to worry about what my kids read and wrote here, but its not the kids that are the problem, its the adults that have grown so bitter, and down right cruel.
When a person calls others names, it only shows how miserable the person is with their life.

Looking at that really stupid picture for the front of her CD makes me wish for a high speed express train. Now.

you have fooled a lot of people but you have not fooled millions. if i had a teenage daughter i would not allow her to spend money on a no talent as you. how can you take these peoples money when you yourself knows you have no real talent. you have written a so so melody and just change the words from every guy that can't stand to be with you more than 26 minutes. the people have not caught on to your scam. yeah you help some people once in awhile but mostly a very selfish kid. with all the money you have actually stollen from the audience and you buy your parents a 1.5 million dollar house. that is nothing in todays world. selfish no talent broad. have you figured out i can't stand you.........
