3. John Mayer

Taylor Swift and John Mayer dated back in late 2009 and early 2010 and the lyrics of the song “Dear John” indicate that it didn’t end well! “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? I should’ve known.” Mayer felt pretty humiliated after the song’s release and he took issue with the songwriting! “I will say as a songwriter that I think it’s kind of cheap songwriting,” he said. We think he might have a valid point!

2. Cory Monteith

Sources speculate that Taylor Swift’s song “Mine” is about the late Cory Monteith! The origins of the song are pretty romantic! “[Mine] is a situation where a guy that I just barely knew put his arm around me by the water, and I saw the entire relationship flash before my eyes. After I wrote the song, things sort of fell apart, as things so often do and I hadn’t talked to him in a couple months.” Sounds like Swift was pretty smitten!
