Taylor Swift | Tess Explains It All

John Mayer has FINALLY spoken out about Taylor Swift’s song about him titled Dear John. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine Mayer said,

“I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do,” he said. “I never got an email. I never got a phone call. 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?”
If you may not remember the lyrics to Dear John let me refresh your memory:

“Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong / Don’t you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?” / 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 have known”

Ya… exactly. Miss Swift did not hold back. She was 19…in love…and her heart was broken. And she’s a phenominal songwriter, of course she’s going to pour her heart into a song like that. John Mayer also went on to say: “I will say as a songwriter that I think it’s kind of cheap songwriting, 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 bulls-“

Low blow Mayer…low blow. The song was not cheap. That’s what songwriters do. They take their life experiences and their feelings and they turn it into a song. How could you call a song cheap with an opening line of “Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you” ? (I mean, genius) I don’t think Taylor was rubbing her hands together saying “wait till he gets a load of this!” I think she was doing what she does with every relationship…writing a song about it. And for him to say “Boo-hoo me. She kicked me down when I was already down.” that’s his own fault for being a douche to women. So… he got what he deserved.

I can’t even imagine what Taylor is thinking about this interview…..
