Complete this sentence: Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over _______.
As we discussed yesterday, in her Rolling Stone interview, Taylor Swift gifted us with a blind item about a music industry Mean Girl. Given the specifications of the blind, I thought it was someone like Demi Lovato or Rihanna, but most people thought it was Katy Perry and those people were probably right. Shortly after Swifty’s RS interview dropped, Katy tweeted this:
Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing…
— KATY PERRY (@katyperry) September 9, 2014
Which seems to imply that Swifty is the real Mean Girl, in Katy’s opinion. Personally, I think they’re both probably Mean Girls and neither of them has the higher moral ground in this particular situation, but whatever. Page Six breaks down the feud and sources claim that this is all about John Mayer. Ugh.
Taylor Swift’s feud with Katy Perry did start over a guy — and sources tell Page Six it was John Mayer. After Swift mentioned a “straight-up enemy” about whom she’s written a new song, “Bad Blood,” in an interview with Rolling Stone, Perry tweeted to call out a mystery mean girl, “Watch out for Regina George in sheep’s clothing.”
Swift said in the interview, “Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies. And it wasn’t even about a guy! It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me . . . I don’t think there would be any personal problem if she weren’t competitive.”
Taylor and Mayer had a love affair in 2010 before he dumped her. She released the song “Dear John” with lyrics, “Don’t you think 19’s too young to be played by/Your dark twisted games.”
In 2012, Perry started dating Mayer, who said he was “really humiliated” by Swift’s song. Music sources told Page Six, “Perry started making digs at Taylor from then on.”
While it was reported that several dancers left Swift’s tour for Perry’s last year, Swift appeared to confirm earlier tensions between them, telling Rolling Stone, “For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not. She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?’ ”
Reps for the two singers, who were seated in different sections at the recent VMAs, didn’t get back to us.
For a little backstory (and I’m pulling this just from memory), John Mayer was dating Taylor Swift undercover soon after he and Jennifer Aniston were broken up. Swifty was still a teenager (she was like 19, I think). Mayer didn’t talk Taylor into anything and I remember hearing rumors that she was the one going after him. I also heard that he dumped her because he felt squeamish about the age difference and just how YOUNG Taylor seemed. Then, at some point later, he began dating Katy Perry and their relationship was screwed up in its own unique way. Around this time, Taylor wrote “Dear John” about him and everyone was like, “God, this girl and her stupid blind-item songs.”
What I’m saying is that Mayer is probably part of this but both women should be deeply ashamed with themselves because of it.

A perfect time to quote Joan Rivers, “Oh, Grow up!”.
Yesssssss!
I don’t know why either of these chicks would waste time fighting over Mayer’s David Duke peen.
If anything, they should both be high-fiving each other for getting out of a relationship with him, (presumably) STD-free.
Has he even had music out in a while? His name keeps coming up for no good reason.
He’s always been more known for who he’s dating than for his music.
This is the only good thing John Wiener has ever done. Period.
http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/0cc0bac3ce/chappelle-show-dancing-for-different-cultures
Yes, mimif, but that has everything to do with Chappelle.
He put out an album last year ripping off the Grateful Dead. It’s not terrible. He tours quite a lot.
To TOK and mimif,
In my humble opinion despite the fact that he seems to be an asshole concerning the ladies (like most men anyway, until and IF they grow up), he is an extremely talented musician and no one, no Katy, no JA, no TS can take that away from him. His love life does not interest me in the least, but he does make beautiful music and he is known to be one of the best guitar players of our generation…
Now, TS and KP mean girling each other over something that presumably happened years ago, I mean, can it get dumber than that?
@Mimz, totally 100% agree. He may be a douche in his personal life but when it comes to music, his is beautiful and boy, can he play that guitar.
Not a fan of John Mayer the person but I do love his music. I have Continuum on regular rotation on my MP3 player. I hated the stupid JLove ode, Your Body is a Wonderland but I am a fan of the music in Continuum.
He graduated from Berklee School of Music. The man has talent despite of himself!
Kiddo
He’s still coming out with good songs and he’s working with lots of other artists that results in hits. I only know this through work out classes and that talk.
He didnt graduate from Berklee. He dropped to pursue his music dreams. Your Body Is a Wonderland was written for a high school girlfriend. He will date anyone that is popular, so he can be popular too. Mayer hasn’t had a hit since 2012. His last album bombed.
@Tok exactly!! He’s a racist and by them dating him after this is all known makes it seem like they’re cosigning his racist beliefs. It must be a slap in the face to their black friends (if they have any) and to their fans
Yeah wtf is this high school shit?
I feel like this might be manufactured sh*te for interest? This makes Taylor look worse, IMO.
Yeah, maybe. Like art imitating a reality show? I know those are your favorite.
This is typical Taylor Swift sh*t. She writes an “anonymous” song about someone who supposedly wronged her but then gives out enough information in interviews to major magazines/ entertainment shows so that everyone knows who she is referring to in the song. So very passive-aggressive and yes, mimif, so very high school.
I like Taylor Swift’s music but she sounds like a bunny-boiler (aka “fatal attraction” movie) in her personal life.
By replying so publicly, Katy is just promoting Swift’s new album. I wonder if that was part of Taylor’s plan, by going after someone she thought would sass back?
And this is precisely why I will Never purchase any of their merchandise, besides the fact it is highly overpriced. These women who stiol desire to be young girls need to either shut up or insult each other cleverly ala Jane Austen style- plebians sometimes…..
It’s going to be a whole day of this, isn’t it? First Ed Sheeran, now this again. The hell? Taylor is a self-involved kindergartener, Katy Perry needs to read a book, and Johnny deserves all the humiliation. All of it. Remember his classy interview re Jessica Simpson and I believe Jennifer Aniston? I feel for none of these morons.
ETA: Nope, not Jen Aniston. I feel like there was something else.
“Taylor is a self-involved kindergartener, Katy Perry needs to read a book and Johnny deserves all the humiliation”.
Very succinct, littlemissnaughty. That about sums it up.
I don’t think he’s humiliated by this, it only inflates his ego that these two nimrods are having an issue over relationships long past over.
Yeah narcissists love all forms of attention. Omg is John Mayer the FRANCO of the music world? Say it ain’t so.
I await the velveteen suited, bald-headed unplugged MTV version of Your Body is a wonderland. Recommended back of head tattoo: http://www.valtrex.com/images/valtrex-logo.jpg
@ Kiddo: I meant the Dear John song but you’re right, this will just fuel his douchebaggery.
@ mimif: I feel like John Mayer is more like the Gerard Butler of the music world. Gross.
These people and their champagne problems. THIS is the reason why I have become quite callous when it comes to celebrities. They’re mostly such idiots.
*high fives Kiddo*
*high-fives back, tosses a Jell-O shot at LakeMom*
Never get involved in a land war is Asia
Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line
And don’t date John Mayer.
HAHAHAHA! Inconceivable!
+1,000,0000
Yes,these two losers are worth millions and this is the garbage they push to get themselves in the headlines to push their music onto the tweenies to make millions more.
He is a masterful guitar player. Not the best, but in the top ten. He should not sing though. His singing voice makes me stabby. No reason to fight over this piece of trash person though. Playing an awesome guitar is his only redeeming quality.
I feel like I should enjoy his playing more than I do, but I just feel like he borrows so heavily from Stevie Ray Vaughan, but without the power behind it.
Honestly, I don’t fault Taylor for being pissed about Perry’s luring away her dancers. There is so much time and effort that goes into putting on a world tour. The immigration/social security paperwork for the crew and dancers takes MONTHS to put together, not to mention the intricate choreography that occurs when heavy set pieces and machinery are flying around an arena. For her dancers to bail weeks before puts a big crunch on the entire complicated and insane circus that is a world tour.
I don’t like that the media just decided that “No, this is about a boy”, because I think that is kind of a misogynistic mind set, especially when these women are working on events that make hundreds of millions of dollars. It is very possible that this IS about business.
Slow Clap
But the dancers left, they made that decision. So, either they weren’t being paid enough or they didn’t enjoy the gig. Something had to be in it for them. Unless this is a stupid marketing ploy.
The dancers did make that decision, but it is like leaving any employer in the lurch. Technically it is legal, they have every “right” to do it, but it isn’t a good business decision if you are going to be looking for employment in the future in the same industry. I doubt Katy was thinking long term about the dancers job prospects.
No matter whether they were offered more money from Katy or if they just like Katy better as a “friend/employer”, it still was a very bad business decision and it had a lot of consequence. Just as a business wouldn’t appreciate a competitor recruiting staff out from under them, that applies here too.
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over ___.the bucket of vomit.
…Chris Brown.
That should complete the sentence.
@Qtip. This. My favourite response.
John never beat up a woman, hasn’t he? So they’re not on the same level.
He is a master emotional abuser, but didn’t physically beat down anyone. He is an emotional abuser though.
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over split milk that’s already curdled, plus you split it on the floor of a public toilet and someone pissed it on while it was lying there.
Aaah I really dislike it when females hate each other over a man. Unfortunetly this is a common occurrence 😔
The only direct quotes that explicitly address this feud have come from Taylor herself, who said immediately that it wasn’t about a man.
Yet the tabloids turned around and made it about a man, within 24 hours. Big surprise.
I know Taylor’s career has revolved around relationship woes, so it doesn’t seem like she’s blameless in this… but it’s still the media who deserves the blame, for constantly pitting women against each other and defining them according to their male partners.
+1000
Good point. Interesting that the details are about BUSINESS but yet people want to turn it into a fight over a man.
If they were hating each other over a decent guy, we could understand, but it’s a cheap dude, so no love lost. They should join Jennifer Aniston and get a table and wear pink on wednesdays.
He must be hung like a horse. Because otherwise, I’m just not f.cking getting it.
hahaha I’m awake now!
Yes I’ve never gotten the johnny player appeal…?
Back in your body is a wonderland era, he was pretty cute/not as douchey. At this point all I see is jerk.
Yeah, I might’ve maybe hit that in 2001/2002 but he’s been too douchey for too long now. And not aging well!
Lol, his face went south in this last year. He was cute before Simpson, than his character started to questioned.
Taking a glance at the full frontal shot above, I have to respectfully disagree, lol.
Speaking of how it hangs…
…has anyone seen the Jared Leto video from a recent concert? He grabs an ENORMOUS something in his pants.
Link please. Immediately please.
I found it and thank you. Thank you so much. This is the best thing that happened to me all day.
Ha! Sorry I didn’t get you the link in time, but I am glad you saw it. Like a water bottle!
You’re feuding over John Mayer. You should both feel bad and spend several hours thinking about your life choices.
Time out! Hahaha I enjoy this way too much, thanks for the laugh
This^^^
Exactly.
Haha made my day!
Is his dong made out of drugs? Honest to god question. I’ve just never understood the John Mayer “thing” and I want to know what Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift (he’s done quite well for himself, hasn’t he?) see that I don’t!
And they are willing to return and repeat the mistake. I don’t understand it.
That’s the worst part!
In the words of MichaelK, he must be a sucio #uck.
HAHAHA!
Well, none of the aforementioned lady “stars” are known for being being bright bulbs…
The women he dates, or at least the ones you listed, are not known for their brains. They just aren’t very bright and/or had little formal education. That’s why these women seem to think Mayer is brilliant. He tells them he is and they believe him. Aniston said she liked to watch him ‘think thoughts’. In interviews, Perry has gushed about his intelligence. At least Swift has the excuse of being a teenager when she fell for him.
@Sullivan I felt excruciating second hand embarrassment for those women while reading your comment. Especially the “think thoughts” quote is heinous from a woman over 10 not to mention over 30. *shakes head*
They are shallow females that want the popular guy. Plus they are stupid and John Mayer is a master manipulator.
@ Kali..a dong bong?!? What an idea. you made me laugh, and i needed it today. thanks!
;0
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over Donald Trump’s hairpiece.
Just plain odd…
But I do think Taylor looks lovely in that dress in the top pic.
Oh shit! That’s just hilarious! …..I also find it super funny because I always imagine Donald Trump’s hairpiece as having a life of it’s own (It’s aliveeeeee!)
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over herpies.
Haha. MTE!
Wait I thought its about how Katy stole some of Taylor backup dancers. Any both of them needs to grow up
Dang it! I just made a comment about this on the Katy post… but I am putting it here too!
“Sadly, it is time for Katy to stop talking. She is not coming off very well.
And the whole mean girl thing.
When that came out yesterday… all of us old girls in the office immediately knew it was over Mayer. Somehow, he is the core of that fight. Trust in us… the old girls. A shared boyfriend never ends well. Ever.
Maybe it irked Katy that Taylor had been there first. Maybe it irked Katy that Taylor probably attempted to warned Katy… off of Mayer.
Only to have Katy, tell Taylor, she was just jealous of their true love. *sarcasm*
Then of course…. Katy got dumped by Mayer.
(that had to hurt… I bet Taylor sent her a balloon bouquet!)
Taylor better be prepare for some more insults. I suspect that Katy is going to keep up the passive aggressive behavior for another year. “
So true… So true
it’s like fighting over a turd.
are there no men left on the planet all of a sudden? like, zero men? why would anyone fight over him? or date him?
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over a furball that your cat threw up.
Hahahahaha best comment on the thread!!
I raise my eyebrow over the insistence that women need a man to dislike each other (women are human, and humans don’t always get along). This being said, they both strike me as ridiculously immature and petty, so it wouldn’t shock me if it was true, either. They must be loving all this publicity, though.
I believe everything you said.
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over who’s stuck sleeping on the wet spot. Ew.
This made me laugh aloud, because I expect hubby to take that task.
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over the love of Flavor Flav.
o. m. g.
O_o
lol
Actually, spit coffee on this one!
My personal favorite so far.
This is the best one, because there was a show showing how sick women actually did this. Fought over Flavor Flav.
The song should have been called WHY JOHN. .. Why are ladies even calling him.? Why do ladies even give a hot dog about this guy. He is terrible. Tay and Katy, just stop it. Your embarrassing your selves. Have a glass of wine together and laugh about how dumb he is -please.
John Mayer sold his soul to the Devil to get the sort of female attention he gets. It’s the only logical explanation.
This is indeed the only logical explanation. It ain’t his looks that bring them back and he doesn’t seem all that charming. And the moody-brooding thing from him is so passe. Sooo, he must have sold his soul. Nothing else makes sense.
Yeah he does like to do the mood – brooding thing.
It is the true explanation. Cutting throats and treating people like crap, so women that are rotten like him would be interested.
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over…well, John Mayer’s love.
Cringe. I’m so embarrassed for them.
Alright you two girls….STOP FIGHTING or you’re both grounded. Now go to your rooms, finish your homework, and LET THE ADULTS TALK. Neither of you is going out with that boy, and that’s FINAL. Some day, you’ll thank me for this.
If KP was with Mayer during or right after the blind item song, then he probably blabbed stuff to her about TS. He’s talked about his exes publicly, so it’s safe to assume he would be a kiss and tell type in private.
I can believe each of the women contributed to some degree of passive aggressive behavior when they each should have left JM in the dust and never looked back.
I think dear John was released years before he dated Perry. I don’t know why they made it seem like the song came out around the time Katy and John were dating.
I double checked. Speak Now was recorded in 2008 to 2010. It came out in 2010. Perry and Mayer got together in 2012.
It makes me happy to think John Mayer was humiliated by Taylor’s song.
I think he even wrote a song back about her too, so he must have been stung! I am sure that didn’t sit well with Katy.
They are both stupid because neither one should want to alienate the others fans. I can see how Perry would dislike Swift for embarrassing her then-boyfriend. Puh leeze. give them more credit. They are mainly competing abour their highly successful careers as singer/songwriters. Personally I think Perry is much less of a beyotch than smirky-faced Swift who comes off like a real snot. Plus can she ever write a song that’s not a way to get back at someone? Swift is bad news.
I know somebody who worked 2 weeks with perry a few years ago and he said perry is a mean person. She was arrogant and mean to a lot of workers. Everybody can have a bad day, but that was for 2 weeks.
She was rude to the Marines that worked on her video as well, I have heard.
That explains why Russell Brand dumped her. How he put up with her coke mean face for long is the real question on everyone’s mind.
KP is a pig. Period
Indeed. As is Mayer. Perfect for one another.
I believe the attraction with Mayer is that he writes beautiful, soulful music. In his song and lyric, he is the perfect man. The epitome of a sensitive, understanding, honest, woman-respecting man.
I think women fall for him because they believe they can unearth this man-god, that he will change FOR THEM. They become disenfranchised when they realize that in reality he is nothing like his songs portray.
At least that’s my opinion.
I agree with your statement 100%. He is an amazing musician, but unfortunately fits the typical a-hole, frontman stereotype. He acts similar to Eric Clapton in his prime. Those who argue he’s not talented haven’t listened to all of his work. Check out The John Mayer Trio. Too bad he’s a major douche.
What you said is fact. John Mayer is just a used car salesman. Instead of cars he is selling music .
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like:
Fighting over who *gets* to clean the catbox. After an abrupt food change. Or who *gets* to clean the dog$hit off the lawn.
Or who *gets* to clean the frat house bathroom after an all nighter. Yeah. That sums it up nicely.
I am always the one to stick up for T Swift, but all of her comments to the magazine about this just make her seem so petty. Why bring up your issues with another person in an interview? It really makes me see her in another light, and it ain’t pretty.
Am i the only one who had to google Regina George?
Stop what you’re doing RIGHT NOW and watch Mean Girls. Work and/or kids and/or school or whatever can wait. It’s so fetch!
Stop trying to make fetch happen! Its not going to happen. I can still recite the Kevin G rap to this day!
@ Faith
Lol!
I had to also, so don’t feel bad. (google Regina…)
I had too, so stop feeling bad lol
*sigh*
Honestly, this could be a good scenario for some teen drama show that I would watch just for the laugh of it. I’ll admit, I like the both of them, I won’t call them the greatest singers (Especially Katy Perry who literally sound like a cat in live) in the world, but their songs are very catch BUT that’s not the point here.
They’ll be 30 but still act like teenagers. Well Taylor Swift, I’m used to, writing song about someone it’s her thing. I’m sorta disappoint though, I was kinda excited for her new album because I was like : “Since she doesn’t have a boyfriend, she will make something new.” But no. She still finds a way to diss someone through her songs. I’m neither Team Taylor or Team Katy. Never intended to anyway. As for Katy, well, she’s annoying. She looks like the kind of gal who is super sweet like sugar and rainbow but she’s actually the meanest. And she can say dumb stuff.
How else was Swiff going to promote her album without her stupid blind-item songs It’s her stick.
Complete this sentence: Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over _______.
“Who wants to be doused with delouser and get on Hepatitis meds first”
“Who wants first on getting shit on in public”
“Juan Pablo in the Bachelor”
“First dibs at Bad Leftovers”
“Who wants to roll around in a bed bug infested bed”
“An Ebola crusted pair of underwear”
“Lindsey Lohan’s bed sheets”
John Mayer gets women that are on the rebound. Plain and simple.
Is it bad that I’m happy Swifty finally picked on someone who can and will fight back in the same sneaky passive-aggressive manner? Grabbing me some popcorn.
Yes!
It might be bad but it’s going to be soooo entertaining. Awww hell we’ve all been waiting for this to go down. I’ve already got my bowl of popcorn. I just hope a titty pops out !!! LOLOL
I kind of wonder if that was her intention with the interview. Did she poke someone she thought would reply back publicly?
Katy’s reply made this a REALLY big promotion for Swifts album. I have to admit, I am curious about the lyrics to that song!
Dear Kaiser, that last photo does backup your point, thanks. 🙂 They should just both be embarrassed and try to make everyone forget it.
They both look terrible in that last photo. Katy needs a lot of help to look like Katy Perry, Pop Star Barbie.
…Is like fighting over Kim Kardashians wardrobe
If they were fighting over…I don’t know…let’s say Michael Fassbender….I would understand but fighting over John Mayer. Yucks! But let’s face it! Taylor and Katy’s taste on men (in general) is quite questionable.
Fighting over John Mayer is like ..fighting over who got to keep the scab after it fell off?
http://m.lolsnaps.com/index.html?id=45082
Why I thought of Katy Perry when I read this story since yesterday.
…like fighting over already been chewed gum.
Canned lunch “meat.”
Agree with Kaiser plus I am so sick of these women who are worth millions and millions of dollars playing victim politics and childish games to push their albums and projects. If they had real talent then they wouldn’t need these side shows.
I do not recall adele or Bono playing the Gimmick game.
dirty dong. yuck.
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over who has the best flesh eating bacterial infection.
Yeah, I got nothing…. #stupidfight #sillygirl
I would fight over Michael Fassbender, I get why he gets laid, but John Mayer? PLLLeaseee… These women need to do Fassdong or some other real man before they fight over someone.
Haha! Same here!! I would definitely fight for Fassy but for Mayer, please. I would gladly give John Mayer to the girl who wanted him but maybe even pull her aside and say. “girl, you sure? I don’t think you want this one, you are too good for him” because every girl is too good for that racist douchenozzle
Yep, my feelings exactly even boring Swifty and dumb Perry. LOL
You know they’re both smirking as they tweet, thinking about how much free press they’re gonna get for a one-liner.
They probably ARE friends, and WE are the ones being Regina George’d here.
Yep!
Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over which brand of bologna to buy.
Too funny!
#Team Swift
I liked a lot of Mayer’s work and went to a couple of concerts. He hasn’t written a solid quality album since Continuum. After getting set on fire in public he has learned to shut – up in public, but the true self still comes out. Generic and crap music, along with a rotten personality has made me turn in my fan card. It will never be redeemed. Fan is short for fanatic. I am not fanatic anymore.
I love how Taylor always does this but about a man that doesn’t want to be rude so doesn’t defend himself. Now she went after a female who defended herself and Swift ended up in a bad situation. dummy.
The dancers in question were actually formerly on Katy Perry’s tours, and when hired for Taylor Swift’s tour, they did so with the caveat that if KP went on tour, they would be released from their contracts. KP did indeed go on tour, at which time the dancers put in their 30 days notice. Either TS didn’t know about this, or she did and is hoping no one looks into it enough to realize she’s lying through her teeth in order to start a girl fight in the media.
Complete this sentence: Fighting over John Mayer’s love is like fighting over…a bag of croissant dildos; messy, useless, and completely adverse to the hoped for results.
It’s always so disheartening to witness a feud like this. The two girls fight, while the douchebag’s ego exploids.
