It's miles upfront and bolder than the cowardly written "Obsessed" wherein the protagonist can't properly address the subject to the recipient. :wink:

I don't have any clue about them or the song but it just irks me that she didn't think she was too young when she was dating him, yet she thinks she is too young for being messed with (what did he do anyway?)?

Taylor, either you are too young for all which could happen in an affair or you can take it all. And as far as I am concerned, 19 is an adult, not a baby...

Does she have a song about every guy in Hollywood she's had a fling with? She does seem to go through plenty.

When your the youngest person to ever win album of the year and have the most awarded album in country music I think that's all the critical acclaim you need.

Not very subtle though..
I can just imagine that conversation, "hey John. Look, I know we ain't spoke in a while. And well, you mighta heard I have my new album coming out... ohhh thank you, yes, I took a forward step with the songwriting on this one. Speaking of, there's a track on there called "Dear John". It's not specifically about you, it's about how I felt when I was with you. So, like, whatever. Peace"

That's not what I meant whatsoever

What I meant is that when a relationship ends, you have an adult conversation about what you're unhappy about. What John is saying is that Taylor told him none of this in the song (that she felt messed around), just came straight out with it in a song for the world to hear..

It's one thing to write a song about someone who broke your heart - hell, look at Adele riding the wave of success off own experience - but it's another to actually put the name of the person in the song title who Taylor was involved with very publicly, it's not like there's any room for ambiguity. It's a very sly thing for her to do in my opinion.

I always thought this song was written about the Channing Tatum film, 'Dear John'. They were released in the same year!

Nah...

It was definitely about John Mayer. If there was any ambiguity surrounding this song, it wasn't much.

I'm not very up-to-date with who my own friends are dating, let alone whiny country singers!

It's hard to keep up with Taylor too, I swear she has a different one every week. :lol:

She could always go the Mariah Carey route and say its not about him, since there are, like a billion Johns out there :lol:

The feud between John Mayer and Taylor Swift nearly came to a head at West Hollywood's starry Tower Bar when the ex-lovers unexpectedly and uncomfortably came face-to-face.

The confrontation Tuesday came after Mayer told Rolling Stone this week that Swift's song "Dear John," reportedly about him, was "a really lousy thing" to do, "cheap songwriting," humiliating and "bullsh*t."

Swift, 22, entered the Tower Bar at Jeff Klein's Sunset Tower Hotel, and a witness described it as "drama central" when the blonde superstar was about to be seated and noticed that her onetime beau Mayer, 34, was dining with a friend nearby.

The source said, "Taylor very visibly -- in front of the entire restaurant -- demanded to be moved to the other side. The bar's usually an oasis of calm and privacy for celebrities and power players, but this was drama central."

Swift and Mayer were briefly linked in 2010 before she released her poison-pen ditty "Dear John" -- with the lyrics, "You are an expert at sorry/and keeping the lines blurry." She never confirmed it was about the notorious ladies' man.

But Mayer, who publicly bashed ex-lovers from Jessica Simpson to Jennifer Aniston, said in Rolling Stone, "I never did anything to deserve that [song]. It was a really lousy thing for her to do ... I know she's the biggest thing in the world, [but] that's bullsh*t."

Has Mayer never heard of karma?

kind of weird :lol:
