This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
and see you're the one
where you're dreamin' of
Don't care what they say
or what they're thinkin' of
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
It's time, time to proceed, let me give you what you need.
Be yourself and you will see, how you really want to be.
Give, give all you got, keep on moving to the top.
Mirror, mirror show me love and take me up above.
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
and see you're the one
where you're dreamin' of
Don't care what they say
or what they're thinkin' of
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
In out, turn it out, tell me what it's all about.
Cause positive is what I am, so now I hope you understand.
Satisfy, don't deny, just keep your hands up in the sky.
Mirror, mirror show me love and take me up above.
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
and see you're the one
where you're dreamin' of
Don't care what they say
or what they're thinkin' of
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
and see you're the one
where you're dreamin' of
Don't care what they say
or what they're thinkin' of
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
It's time, time to proceed, let me give you what you need.
Be yourself and you will see, how you really want to be.
Give, give all you got, keep on moving to the top.
Mirror, mirror show me love and take me up above.
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
and see you're the one
where you're dreamin' of
Don't care what they say
or what they're thinkin' of
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
In out, turn it out, tell me what it's all about.
Cause positive is what I am, so now I hope you understand.
Satisfy, don't deny, just keep your hands up in the sky.
Mirror, mirror show me love and take me up above.
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
and see you're the one
where you're dreamin' of
Don't care what they say
or what they're thinkin' of
Let's all take a look in the mirror of love
