Teen angle Taylor Swift has said that all the songs on her new album are “all made very clear.”  So when delving into her new song, Dear John, people began to wonder, who was John?

Well all signs are pointing to the one and only, John Mayer, who previously worked with Swift on his single “Half of My Heart.”  There were multiple reports that the two had become an item, while neither side ever confirmed it.

Says Swift of her album:

“Every single song is like a roadmap to what that relationship stood for, with little markers that maybe everyone won’t know, but there are things that were little nuances of the relationship, little hints. And every single song is like that. Everyone will know, so I don’t really have to send out emails on this one.”

Lyrics to her new song include:

“Dear John/I see it all now that you’re gone/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.” A second version of the chorus includes the lines: “It was wrong/Don’t you think nineteen’s too young/To be played/By your dark, twisted games/When I loved you so.”

When rumors of a Mayer/Swift romance broke, some of us had a hard time imagining it, because of his rather famously ruinous reputation in matters of love and her ever-present, protective mom. “Dear John” addresses that: “My mother accused me of losing my mind/But I swore I was fine…” And: “You’ll add my name to your long list of traitors who don’t understand/And I’ll look back in regret I ignored what they said/’Run as fast as you can’.”
