Taylor Swift wrote a song about John Mayer being a douche, maybe

Shortly after Taylor Swift broke up with Taylor Lautner, there began to be a steady stream of rumors about Swifty and John Mayer. The two performed together a handful of times, and many thought that Swifty and Mayer were boning as early as January of this year, up until June/July of this year. Do I think it was true? Yes, I do. I think Swifty thought she was dating Mayer. And I think Mayer was probably seeing many other women besides Swifty. I also think they were having sex, and that the whole thing was probably devastating to Swifty. Now we know for sure (not really) – Swifty has a song on her new album called “Dear John” and the lyrics are basically saying that Swifty got dicked around by a dude named John. Magic!

Blogs are abuzz that Taylor Swift is targeting serial dater John Mayer on a new song, “Dear John,” from her forthcoming album, Speak Now.

Swift, 20 — who was romantically linked to Mayer, 33, last year while collaborating on his song, “Half of My Heart” — has penned the following lyrics:

“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 I should’ve known. It was wrong Don’t you think nineteen’s too young To be played By your dark, twisted games When I loved you so. My mother accused me of losing my mind But I swore I was fine You’ll add my name to your long list of traitors Who don’t understand And I’ll look back in regret I ignored what they said ‘Run as fast as you can.”

Though Swift hasn’t stated whether the song is about Mayer. she tells Access Hollywood, her lyrics “are all made very clear. Every single song is like a roadmap to what that relationship stood for, with little markers that maybe everyone won’t know, but there are things that were little nuances of the relationship, little hints. And every single song is like that. Everyone will know, so I don’t really have to send out emails on this one.”

I have mixed feelings about this, mainly because I really do think it’s about Mayer and his douche moves. First of all, everyone warned Swifty about hooking up with Mayer, including her mom and her friends, and even the gossip blogs that note his every douche move. Yes, she was just 19 years old. But she was also an a–hole who thought Mayer would change if she loved him, despite all the evidence to the contrary. So even though I hate that Mayer f-cked with Swifty’s head, I also kind of think this was a lesson she needed to learn, and she should be happy it didn’t get dragged out like the Aniston crap. I also think Swifty is getting to the age where she might want to be a little more oblique with her lyrics – some of the best “screw you” music is stuff where you don’t know who the girl is singing to, you know? “You’re So Vain” still haunts me.
