Although the romance between John Mayer and Taylor Swift was a very short one, it's been going on in the media for years after it ended, particularly considering the country singer turned pop star wrote a song entitled "Dear John" that was clearly meant for the "Your Body is a Wonderland" singer - but it seems like, years later, both of them have buried the hatchet.
Ever since their fling hit the public (it should be noted that John Mayer and Taylor Swift were only together for about six months, from late 2009 to early 2010), audiences have gone mad with the whole thing, to the point that Mayer has repeatedly asked reporters to stop bringing her up in interviews.
Now, almost five years later, it seems like John Mayer and Taylor Swift have made peace with each other: according to USA Today, the "Waiting on the World To Change" recently spoke about his ex Swift in an interview, saying how much he admired the stance the blonde star had taken against Spotify, as last year the "You Belong With Me" singer took all her music off from the streaming website as she stated that she wasn't happy with the way things were being handled, as she wasn't being paid accordingly.
Los Angeles Times reports that John Mayer's Taylor Swift comments came during an extensive interview with MSNBC Ronan Farrow (the son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen), when the singer insisted they should talk about Swift professionally, regardless of how many issues he'd had in the past with her personally.
The whole thing is part of a bigger special called "7 Days of Genius" on MSNBC, which already became infamous when Mayer confessed in it that he was a "recovered ego addict" - and surely the relationship between John Mayer and Taylor Swift had something to do with that.
"Artists need the person with the loudest voice to speak for them...I think that's a really cool thing for a musician to do," went John Mayer's Taylor Swift comments, according to Billboard. "Like two percent of the music industry has 80 percent of all the media about it. There's like four people who get all the press, and if any of those four people say, 'I want to speak for those people who would just never make this a story'--The only reason we're talking about Taylor Swift taking Spotify on is because she's Taylor Swift!"
