Stay in the shade! It is now no secret that some of them Taylor Swift‘s most famous songs were written following his public breakups. But some of his other popular tracks have led to major fights with other celebrities.
John Mayer, for his part, spoke out in November 2021 about the hate he continues to receive from Taylor’s fans. The “Look What You Made Me Do” singer and “Daughters” crooner briefly dated in 2009. Since then, there has been widespread speculation that her song “Dear John” was about romance. John criticized the song during a 2012 interview with rolling stone saying it made him “feel bad.” Years later, as Taylor continues to re-release her old records, the drama with John has been reignited as some Swifties criticize him on social media.
According to Instagram user DMed John following November 2021 Red (Taylor version) free yourself by writing: “Fuck you, you naughty bitch, I hope you choke on something,” he replied.
“I’ve received so many messages like these over the last few days,” the singer explained. “I’m not upset, I just tend to have a curious mind and feel compelled to ask. Do you really hope I die?
According to TikTok videos shared online, the fan later apologized and explained that she had “dared” to send the original message. “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to see it,” they added. John assured the fan that there were no hard feelings.
“So it’s a funny thing that people do without taking into account that I might see it and be affected by it?” He asked. “It’s 100 percent OK. Go ahead and live happy and healthy!
It’s all good, it ends well with John and this particular Taylor fan, but what about the “New Light” singer and Taylor herself? Over the years, John has seemed to throw some subtle digs at his ex. Notably, in November 2019 during an Instagram Live with Shawn Mendeswho sang a verse on Taylor’s “Lover” remix.
“[It’s] crazy,” John said of the song’s lyrics. “Everyone keeps their Christmas lights on until January. And I say, “Can you really?” » Because normally, I take down my Christmas lights on December 29th. …We can keep the Christmas lights on until January. And then around January 5th, we’ll turn off the lights. And then we’ll put them in a box and we’ll label that box “Christmas Lights.” Yeah, we’ll put them in the attic until next December. Well, it’s crazy love, I’ll tell you that.
As fans know, Taylor has never publicly spoken about any of her exes by name. But when it comes to other celebrity feuds, she opened up about an ongoing breakup with Kanye West – which began in 2009 – and publicly made amends with Katy Perry.
