The Taylor stans both ranking this at #11 ❤️ #taste I have always hated "Mean". The singsongy, lilting melody just rubs me the wrong way, and makes the lyrics feel really contrived. It has a good message, but it gets there in a really juvenile, middle-schoolerish sort of way. I felt like my rank was pretty generous, and solely rooted in my increased appreciation for Taylor as an artist in recent years on top of this being a pretty weak year. And I will never forgive "Mean" for stealing Martina's Grammy for Best Country Performance at the 2012 Grammys, soooo... Well it's not Taylor's fault that "Mean" won the Grammy But I do agree that Martina should've won that year though also because Taylor had already won with "White Horse" before. Oh I know, that's why I blamed it on "Mean" rather than on Taylor All my ire is towards this particular song rather than Taylor herself. (My only consolation now is that the Grammys really like to award old people who haven't been relevant in decades, so all Martina has to do is release an album when she gets into her 70s and she'll probably get like 4 awards thrown at her at once 😂 )

I think this comment went a little too far. I'm sorry that I cannot stand a song that you love. While there are songs from Taylor I like "Mean" is easily near the bottom for me. I don't want to speak for anyone, but I think it was just lyrics from the bridge of "Mean!" I mean, that much was incredibly obvious...

A little surprised to see BBJN do so well here. It’s easily one of this worst songs imo

BBJN teeters on the line of bro-country but it's still really enjoyable.

Wow, that's a pleasant surprise!!! I don't hate BBJN or anything, and I would never skip it, but I think it is all kinds of overrated. I hear absolutely no difference between this and the bro country wave that came in the years right after this, so I am always shocked when people claim that this was his best song... The rest of the era was much better.

I didn't really "get" "Baggage Claim" when it was first released. It is a very odd song, and took some getting used to. I do enjoy it quite a bit now. It's still far from Miranda's best, so I'm a little surprised how well it was able to do here. But then again, it is Miranda, so...

I'm always pretty critical of Lady A because of their innate ability to bore more to death, but "Just A Kiss" is one of my favorites from them! That chorus has a lot of energy to me. I love Hillary's performance of this one!

I love Lady Antebellum but outside of "We Owned The Night" that third album was just awful. With this song trying to be "Need You Now" Part 2 while having none of the charm, sterile production, a crappy music video that is a borderline iPad commercial, and both singers sounding bored.

“Just a Kiss” is relatively low on my list of favorite Lady A songs, tbh. I’d put their entire debut album and most of Need You Now above it.

So overplayed. So much to this day still. Love the song on it's own but that overplay tanked it by a good 30 ranks

It’s just that their first two albums are a 9/10 and Own the Night is a 7.5/10.

"Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not" is a really good song that I used to have a lot of love for back in the day.....but if I never hear it again that will be 100% fine with me
