Things Took a Bitter Turn…

John Mayer expressed his frustration in an interview with Rolling Stone. He claimed he received no prior communication. He admitted that the timing of the song's release couldn't have been worse, as he felt even more vulnerable during a challenging period.

Mayer suggested that Taylor could have approached the situation differently as a songwriter instead of releasing a song like "Dear John." By listening to the song, it's evident that this breakup profoundly impacted Taylor and remains one of her most emotionally charged experiences.
