Taylor Swift painted John Mayer as a downright jerk in the lyrics to her song Dear John after they broke up in 2009, and this week Mayer is living up to that depiction.
Despite the once bitter exes socialising in the same room recently without any reported drama, it seems there’s still some Bad Blood, at least on John’s end.
As social media drowned in happy birthday message for Taylor this week, who turned 27 on December 13, John took to Twitter to declare it “the lamest day of the year”.
“Tuesday, December 13 may be the lamest day of the year, conceptually,” he wrote in a since deleted tweet that was captured by many Twitter users.
He then followed up with a sort of non-apology, which he then deleted, but decided to re-post again as the wrath of angry Swifties flooded his social media accounts.
“NOPE. No. Nuh-uh,” he wrote. “People I am 39. I am deleting those tweets. Come right at me for doing so. Absolutely no shade.”
It’s not apparent why John decided to throw himself back into the Taylor narrative and reignite their feud. Whatever the reason, it seems like a poor decision, and only gives strength to the lyrics Taylor wrote about him in Dear John, which include:
“And you’ll add my name to your long list of traitors who don’t understand
And I’ll look back in regret how I ignored when they said,
“Run as fast as you can.”
