If you’re a Swiftie or call yourself a Taylor Swift fan in any way, there are certain rules to abide by—one of which is to completely take sides with Swift at all costs after she goes through a breakup. This means you will analyze every word of every song to decipher meanings, cry and feel every emotion she must have felt at the time, and, most importantly, loathe whoever it is that broke her heart.
After Swift’s rerelease of her studio album Red, now-titled Red (Taylor’s Version)Her massive fanbase went crazy for Jake Gyllenhaal, who seemed to be the main focus in her single and ten minute long video. “All Too Well.” He was now the official villain of all of Hollywood and deserved to be shunned by all of society because of what he did to Taylor—at least that’s what Swifties would say. Well, if Gyllenhaal is being called out for his behavior, fans decided it was time to call out another relationship that they didn’t think was fair to their goddess—her relationship with John Mayer.

Swift and Mayer have a very brief, but interesting history. and although they never called out their relationship publicly, it’s rumored that their whirlwind romance lasted from 2009 into 2010. Mayer started the whole thing by tweeting his thoughts about Swift being like Stevie Nicks. He wanted Swift to sing on his song. “Half of my Heart”It was early 2009. Swift, being a fan of Mayer’s, was over-the-top excited and couldn’t believe he would even tweet about her.

Now, fast forward to 2009 when the duo performed the song at Z100’s Jingle Ball in New York City—this is when fans started to get suspicious about a brewing relationship.

If you know Taylor Swift, you know she’s not going to stay quiet about the way her relationships came to an end, or more importantly—who was at fault. When she released her album, it was a huge success. Get in touch with us now In October 2010, the track “Dear John”It seemed to make a nod to M. Mayer. The lyrics are very obviousSwift fans: “Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone / Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with? / The girl in the dress cried the whole way home / Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong / Don’t you think nineteen’s too young / To be played by your dark, twisted games / When I loved you so? / I shoulda known.”
Swift fans believe that Swift was taken advantage by an older, more experienced musician. Mayer was 32 years old at the time and Swift was 19. Given her vulnerability and age, he should have kept his distance. Now? Officially, Mayer was on the blacklist for all Swifties.
What John Mayer has done for Taylor Swift and her fans
The answer is obvious. “Daughters” singer-songwriter wasn’t oblivious or unaware that Swift’s song was about him—but he wasn’t exactly thrilled that he found out along with everyone else. “I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call,” Mayer said Rolling Stone. “I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I’d already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you’ve ever been, someone kicked you even lower?”
From a musician’s standpoint, Mayer also wasn’t impressed with the reasoning or storyline behind her lyrics. “I will say as a songwriter that I think it’s kind of cheap songwriting,”He went on to say more. “I know she’s the biggest thing in the world, and I’m not trying to sink anybody’s ship, but I think it’s abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, ‘Wait till he gets a load of this!’ That’s bullshit.”
Mayer was unable to remain silent so he released a song called “Paper Doll,”It is thought that this song may be his comeback diss. “You’re like twenty-two girls in one / And none of them know what they’re running from / Was it just too far to fall / For a little paper doll,” These are just a handful of the lyrics—and he even mentions a red scarf.

Mayer reached out to Swift fan who was disgruntled and wanted to start a real conversation. “Hi Alondra, it’s John. I’ve been getting so many messages like these the past couple of days, I decided to choose your message at random to reply to,”He replied. “You can feel free to screenshot, share in any way you like if you want. I’m not upset, I just tend to have a curious mind and feel compelled to ask. Do you really hope that I die?”The person was stunned when he responded and apologized for making him feel sorry. They claimed that it was a dare, and they never imagined he would even see it.
