John Mayer Slams Taylor Swift as "Cheap" BS Artist

by at .

John Mayer might just wanna take Rolling Stone off his speed dial at this point.

A couple years after going off to the magazine about how he has masturbated himself "out of some serious problems in my life," the singer has once again made headline in an interview with the publication.

This time for comments aimed squarely at ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift and related to the following single, "Dear John."

"It made me feel terrible," Mayer says of the revenge-based song, whose lyrics include Swift saying she was "too young to be messed with."

Mayer says he didn't "deserve" the diss and went on to say he "never got an email [or] phone call" about his ex - John and Taylor reportedly hooked up in early 2010 - releasing the track for the world to hear.

"["Dear John" is] cheap songwriting," the artist adds "It's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait til he gets a load of this!' That's bullsh-t.. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?"

We'd feel terrible. We'd also never refer to a former girlfriend as "sexual napalm," nor would we drop the N word in a nationally-syndicated interview. But maybe that's just us.

What about you, readers? Whose side are you on in this feud?

    I noted that it IS from Eric at the bottom. As for PLL It's just one of those where you get seuckd in. You kind of hate yourself for it sometimes, but you can't stop watching. Also, the CLOTHES. I love their clothes.

    John Mayer is an idiot, if he didn't want a break up song with his name in it, he shouldn't have dated her. Its not like it wasn't expected, she uses names in her songs quite a bit. As for people saying she should stop writing about love and breakups, look at the majority of music written. If you say that, you should say that they all should stop writing about love and breakups.

    You know, Taylor's songs are epic. Blaming her for the breakup is a cheap shot at her. She's writing things that she knows, and unfortunately she knows a lot about having her heart broken. Maybe she took a little creative license on things when she wrote "Dear John", but as an artist, that is an aesthetic choice she had and always will have the right to make. It's sad that people hate her because she's doing what she knows to do and it's made her famous.

    I really think she needs to leave her love life out of her songwriting. I think every man would be turned off of dating her because if they break up, she's gonna write a mean song about them.

    Honestly I think John Mayer is over reacting, I mean come on its just a song, so what! Sure everyone knows it but she could have said meaner things, I sure would have. And you can't really "bully" a celeb, like really? If you don't have confidence to hold up a relationship with Taylor then don't, she writes songs about almost every bad relationship. Team swift
