Why did Swifties hate “Lover (Remix) [ft. Shawn Mendes]” so much?

I thought he was indifferent to Taylor.

Sure he dislike a lot of her songs but he liked Blank Space for a while, and liked Exile, The Archer, Wildest Dream and Style enough to put it on his best list/, hell he even put Style as number 1 for 2015. And I thought he put Shake It Off on the list cause of the lyrics But now that i think about it he really doesn’t get the point of Wildest Dream and Style, said that she “went through guys faster than toothpicks” and many other things, and in the “I Love Collage” YouTube he said some horrible things about her when she was dealing with the whole Scooter situation.

Plus he said some awful things about other artist (saying Bruno Mars should go bankrupt and die cause he made the lazy song and keeps on mentioning how ugly Ed is despite his appearance has nothing to do with the music he makes.)

He seemed to become less off a prick over time, and in 2020-21 he seems to become way more mature but still. A lot of the things he said rub me the wrong way. (Though using Lover as an example doesn’t cause he didn’t insult her and had a point.)
