Dear John
The song that sparked this exchange was “Dear John,” Swift reflects, “I see it all now, it was wrong / Don’t you think nineteen’s too young / To be played by your dark, twisted games when I loved you so?”
Mayer countered with his song “Paper Dolls,” where he sings, “Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home / I should’ve known.” He also penned “Still Feel Like Your Man,” which was inspired by Swift, and even criticized her songwriting as being “cheap.”
