Taylor Swift Urges Fans Not To Bully Ex John Mayer Ahead Of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) Release!

C. D.

Taylor Swift has a big ask for fans before the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) next month: Do not bully her ex-boyfriend John Mayer!

The 33-year-old singer made the request while getting ready to sing Dear John for the first time in eleven years during her show at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Saturday night. She told the audience:

“I get to stand on this stage every single night of this tour and watch some of the most beautiful things happen. I watch you guys make friends with each other. I watch you bond. I watch you give each other friendship bracelets. I see so many beautiful interactions happen, and I hear so many stories about friends that were made at these shows, and I watch it happen, and it’s the most unbelievable thing to watch.”

So with that in mind, Taylor urged Swifties to extend that same “kindness and that gentleness” on the internet when Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) drops on July 7:

“I was hoping to ask you, that as we lead up to this album coming out, I would love for that kindness and that gentleness to extend onto our internet activities. Right? So what I’m trying to say is, I’m putting this album out because I want to own my music and I believe that [those] who have the desire to own their music should be able to. That’s why I’m putting out this album.”

Then, she made her message very clear to everyone:

“I’m 33 years old, I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19 except the songs I wrote. Bul

In other words, Swifties, you need to calm down! Lolz! See her brief speech (below):

While Taylor doesn’t directly name John, it was clear her message was about the Daughters artist as she immediately went into her surprise song Dear John after the speech. And we all know the scathing breakup ballad is undeniably about the 45-year-old musician and their short-lived relationship when she was 19, and he was 32. That track is also about to have another massive moment as it’s included on the Speak Now re-release – which John is no doubt dreading next month.

Considering the intense backlash ex Jake Gyllenhaal went through when All Too Well (10 Minute Version) dropped with the Red re-release, he must be shaking at the thought of being dragged through the mud again. Even Taylor Lautner is “praying for John!”

But clearly, Taylor doesn’t want any drama this time around and wants everyone to leave John Mayer alone. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF in the comments below.
