John Mayer gets blasted by Taylor Swift fans after joining TikTok… 11 years after their brief romance: ‘John don’t you think 19 was too young?’
John Mayer reportedly dated Taylor Swift from December 2009 through February 2010 when he was 31 and she was 19 – with the breakup being far from amicable.
And many Taylor Swift fans still haven’t forgiven the musician for breaking her heart when she was just a teen.
John, 43, opened a TikTok account on Monday and Swifties came in droves to his comments section berating him for what he did to Taylor 11 years prior.
They aren’t his fan: John Mayer reportedly dated Taylor Swift from December 2009 through February 2010 when he was 31 and she was 19 – with the breakup being far from amicable. And many Taylor Swift fans still haven’t forgiven the musician for breaking her heart when she was just a teen
The romance seemingly ended on bad terms based on her scathing song Dear John which many people believe is about him.
They originally met when she collaborated on his song Half of My Heart, which led to the brief three month relationship from December 2009 to February 2010.
The name of the song as well as lyrics recalling her age (19) at the time of the romance appear to lead to the conclusion that is is fact about John Mayer and their rocky but brief romance, although the songstress never confirmed it was about him.
The timing of the song also confirms its about John: She also released the song in October 2010 on her Speak Now album, eight months after their reported split.

The tune gave insight on how Taylor and John’s reported romance went wrong, with the singer singing in tune: ‘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.’
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, I see it all now, it was wrong / Don’t you think nineteen’s too young / To be played by your dark, twisted games.’
He added more fuel to the fire two years after the songs release when he told Rolling Stone magazine that he felt ‘really humiliated’ about the song, which ‘made’ him ‘feel terrible.’
He said to the outlet in the 2012 interview: ‘Because I didn’t deserve it. 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 at the time that he didn’t know how she felt until after the song was released: ‘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?’
He also took a swipe at Taylor’s songwriting in the candid interview: ‘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 bull***t.’
After his pointed words, Taylor was asked her thoughts about what he told Rolling Stone.
She told Glamour magazine: ‘How presumptuous! I never disclose who my songs are about. I know it wasn’t good, so I don’t want to know. I put a high priority on staying happy, and I know what I can’t handle,’ via MTV.
She continued: ‘It’s not that I’m this egomaniac and I don’t want to hear anything negative, because I do keep myself in check. But I’ve never developed that thick a skin. So I just kind of live a life, and I let all the gossip live somewhere else. If you go too far down the rabbit hole of what people think about you, it can change everything about who you are.’
John released a song in 2013 that many believe was a rebuttal to Taylor’s Dear John, although he said in 2019 that it wasn’t about what people thought it was about on his Instagram talk show.
However, the lyrics seemingly reply back to Taylor’s statements.
Taylor, 31, had sang: ‘You paint me a blue sky then go back and turn it to rain,’ with his lyric seemingly responding back: ‘and if those angel wings don’t fly, someone’s going to paint you another sky.’
She sang: ‘And I look back in regret how I ignored when they said, run as fast as you can’ with his line being: ‘You’re like twenty-two girls in one, and none of them know what they’re running from.’
The duo have a 12 year age difference and many fans have not forgotten it, as seen in the harsh comments on his TikTok.
The first TikTok video he posted was of him appearing to not know how to flip the camera before finally figuring it out.

On Monday, Taylor slammed the Netflix series Ginny & Georgia after the show made a joke about her dating life.
Ginny says in the final episode of season one: ‘What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.’
Taylor tweeted out “Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horses**t as FuNnY.’
The second part of the tweet was directly aimed at Netflix: ‘Also, @Netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesn’t look cute on you. Happy Women’s History Month I guess.’
Fans pointed out that the streaming service profited from her feminist documentary Miss Americana but then approved the misogynistic comments about her for the show, per the NY Post.
