John Mayer reportedly dated Taylor Swift from December 2009 to February 2010, when he was 31 and she was 19 – with the breakup far from being friendly.
And many Taylor Swift fans have yet to forgive the musician for breaking his heart when she was just a teenager.
John, 43, opened a TikTok account on Monday and Swifties came en masse to his comments section scolding him for what he did to Taylor 11 years earlier.
They are not his fans: John Mayer allegedly dated Taylor Swift from December 2009 to February 2010, when he was 31 and she was 19 – with the breakup far from being friendly. And many Taylor Swift fans still haven’t forgiven the musician for breaking his heart when she was just a teenager.
The novel apparently ended in bad shape, based on his scathing song, Dear John, which many people believe is about him.
They originally met when she collaborated on her song Half of My Heart, which led to a brief three-month relationship, from December 2009 to February 2010.
The name of the song, as well as the lyrics that recall his age (19) at the time of the novel seem to lead to the conclusion that it is a fact about John Mayer and his rocky romance, but brief, although the singer never confirmed that it was about him .
The timing of the song also confirms that it is about John: she also released the song in October 2010 on her album Speak Now, eight months after her separation.
Drama: John, 43, opened a Tik Tok account on Monday and Swifties came en masse to his comments section scolding him for what he did to Taylor 11 years earlier; seen together on December 11, 2009 at the z100 Jingle Ball in New York
The melody gave an idea of how Taylor and John’s reported romance went wrong, with the singer singing in tune: ‘Dear John, I see everything now that you’re gone / Don’t you think I was too young to be touched / The girl in a dress she cried all the way home. ‘
She also wrote the lyrics: ‘Well, maybe it’s me / And my blind optimism to blame / Or maybe it’s you and your sick need / To give love and take it away.
‘Dear John, now I see everything, it was wrong / You don’t think nineteen is too young / To be played for his dark and distorted games.’
He added more fuel to the fire two years after the songs were released, when he told Rolling Stone magazine that he felt “very humiliated” with the song, which “made” him feel terrible.
He told the newspaper in the 2012 interview: ‘Because I didn’t deserve it. Now I am very good at taking responsibility and I have never done anything to deserve this. It was a really horrible thing on her part.

He said at the time that he didn’t know how she felt until after the song was released: ‘I never received an email. I never got a call. I was really taken aback, and it really humbled me at a time when I was already mistreated. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest level you’ve ever been, someone kicked you even lower? ‘
He also ignored Taylor’s composition in the heartfelt interview: ‘I’ll say as a songwriter that I think it’s a bit of a cheap song. I know she’s the biggest thing in the world and I’m not trying to sink anyone’s ship, but I think it’s abusing her talent to rub her hands and say, “Wait until he gets a load of it!” This is bullshit.
After his direct words, Taylor was asked what he said to Rolling Stone.
She told Glamor magazine: ‘What a presumption! I never reveal who my songs are about. I know it wasn’t good, so I don’t want to know. I place a high priority on staying happy, and I know what I can’t deal with, via MTV.
She continued: ‘It’s not that I’m self-centered and don’t want to hear anything negative, because I keep myself under control. But I have never developed such thick skin. So I kind of live a life and let all the gossip live elsewhere. If you go too far with what people think of you, it can change everything about who you are.
John released a song in 2013 that many believe was a rebuttal of Taylor’s Dear John, although he said in 2019 that it wasn’t what people thought about on his Instagram talk show.
However, the lyrics apparently respond to Taylor’s statements.
Taylor, 31, sang: ‘You paint me a blue sky, so go back and make it rain’, with your lyrics apparently responding: ‘and if those angel wings don’t fly, someone will paint another sky for you. ‘
She sang: ‘And I look back with regret as I ignored it when they said, run as fast as you can’ with her line being: ‘You are like twenty-two girls in one, and none of them know what they are Running from . ‘
The duo is 12 years old and many fans have not forgotten that, as can be seen in the harsh comments on their TikTok.
The first TikTok video he posted was of him looking like he didn’t know how to turn the camera around before finally finding out.

John seemed to approach the messages with a cheeky video of himself starting on the camera while he nods and pretends to be in conversation with someone who criticizes him.
It had the caption: ‘POV: You are scolding me and I am listening to you’.

On Monday, Taylor criticized the Netflix series Ginny & Georgia after the show made a joke about her love life.
Ginny says in the final episode of the first season: ‘What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift. ‘
Taylor tweeted “Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and wants their lazy and deeply sexist joke back. How about we stop degrading working women by defining these horses ** t as FANTASTIC. ‘
The second part of the tweet went directly to Netflix: ‘Also, @Netflix, after Miss Americana, this outfit doesn’t look pretty on you. Happy month in the history of women, I think.
Fans pointed out that the streaming service profited from its feminist documentary Miss Americana, but later approved the misogynistic comments about her for the program, according to the NY Post.
