Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?
Song: Dear John (Speak Now, 2010)
Who was it about: John Mayer
Lyrics: “Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong… Don’t you think 19’s too young to be played by your dark, twisted games when I loved you so?… I should’ve known.”
Story behind the lyrics: In “Dear John,” Taylor isn’t just singing; she’s telling a story, painting a vivid picture of a young, starry-eyed 19-year-old caught in a whirlwind romance. The song is about her relationship with John Mayer, and oh boy, does it deliver the drama! Being 19 when she dated John (who was 32 then), she questioned the intentions of an older, more experienced partner, lamenting how her youth and naivety were overshadowed by a game she never intended to play. This song resonates like a fierce yet melancholic anthem for anyone who’s ever loved and learned the hard way.
