Swifties may be wondering the following now that the most recent Taylor version is available: What does John Mayer think of “Dear John” by Taylor Swift?
The legacy of John and Taylor’s romance, which lasted from 2009 to 2010, has piqued Swifties’ interest for more than ten years. He was 32 while she was 19. The singer of “Love Story” released the song “Dear John,” which many of her admirers assume is about her guitar-smashing ex. “Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone,” the singer sings, “Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?/ The girl in the dress cried the whole way home/I should’ve known.”
Swift has never explicitly identified the topic of the song, but many people—including John Mayer—believe that it is about him.
What did John Mayer think of Dear John by Taylor Swift?
What did John Mayer think of “Dear John” by Taylor Swift? Mayer stated to Rolling Stone in 2012 that he felt bad when the song first came out because he didn’t deserve it. I’ve gotten fairly adept at accepting responsibility, even if I didn’t do anything to earn it. She did a terribly bad thing by doing that.
I never received an email. He remembered how he discovered the subject of the song: “I never got a phone call. “I was truly taken by surprise, and it humiliated me severely at a time when I’d already been put down. How would you feel if someone kicked you even harder when you were at your lowest point ever? In response to the question, “Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?” I don’t want to get into it, Mayer says.
As a songwriter, “I will say that I think it’s kind of cheap songwriting,” he says. “I know she’s the biggest thing in the world, and I don’t mean to rock anyone’s boat, but I think it’s abusing your talent to rub your hands together and say, ‘Wait till he gets a load of this!'” That is complete BS.
Taylor Swift responded to his comment by telling Glamour, “How arrogant! She continued, “I never reveal who my songs are about, and I don’t want to hear your public response. “I don’t want to know because I know it wasn’t good. Maintaining my happiness is very important to me, and I am aware of my limitations.
