Lady Gaga, Sia, Sam Smith, and other singers read mean tweets about themselves for Kimmel Live


As always with Jimmy Kimmel Live's "Mean Tweets" videos, the reaction from the celebrities is the best part. In Kimmel's second installment of Mean Tweets Music Edition, Sia (back turned, naturally), Lady Gaga, Drake, Sam Smith, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Katie Perry, and other musicians all gamely read unkind things people wrote about them on Twitter. Lots of the singers roll with the 140-character punches, but Psy's reaction is probably the best. —Peter Weber
