As far as I could understand Taylor's personality, this song is just about herself. Not Katy, Kim and the others - these things are made out from nowhere, just to make them talkable on the news - they all receive money for that. But Taylor writes herself, and in this song she is fighting with her own self. We will never know the reason why, cuz there is famous singer Taylor, and a young woman Taylor, who has the same struggles in life as all the other young women.
So at one point in her life she changed (as all people do), and she's saying to herself, looking in the mirror "i dont like you". And the words "How you laugh when you lie" - only SHE knows if SHE lies and HOW she lies.
I think it is kind of schizoid fight with your own self, which we all have at some point, and Taylor in particular cuz she is a creative, talented person, and we all know that this kind of people always suffer the most.
