Less than a month ago, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner broke up and the world was a little sad but mostly “meh.” I mean, they were just kids, and we knew it wouldn’t last, but still, they were cute. Anyway, about a week later, a few of the tabloids began reporting on a possible reason for the split: because Swift might be dating/interested in John Mayer. Now, Swifty is 20 years old. Mayer is 32 years old. So, it’s not illegal or anything, it’s just gross. Swifty is a young woman on the top of her game, and I really think she’s a smart, classy, interesting girl. No matter her age, she’s always going to be too good for Mayer, in my opinion. But the rumors keep hanging around about a possible romantic relationship, and now Star is reporting on a “secret date” the two had:
Fresh off of her breakup with Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift shared an intimate dinner with serial heartbreaker John Mayer, Star has learned exclusively. They were spotted at Italian bistro Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on January 6, following Taylor’s win as Favorite Female Artist at the People’s Choice Awards.
“They came in together and got a private table in a corner of the restaurant,” says an eyewitness. “They seemed to really enjoy each other’s company.”
The pair lingered for almost two hours, with John sipping wine. The duo headed out into the night together around 10 pm.
“They definitely looked like a couple,” says the eyewitness. “John was telling stories, and she was hanging on every word!”

Ugh, GET OUT. Get out now, Taylor. Don’t succumb. You’re better than this. Seriously. Of course, houseplants are better than Mayer. Does Taylor need my help in finding a better-quality boyfriend? Because I would be more than happy to offer my suggestions. Let’s see, who would Taylor be cute with…? Off the top of my head, I’ve got Colin Hanks (photo below) – unfortunately he’s the same age as Mayer, but Hanks seems a lot nicer. Hanks is my first choice for boyfriend material, just because he seems to have gotten his dad’s “decent nice guy” genes. But who else? B.J. Novak from The Office. Sigh… okay, I’m really stretching it now, but how about my boyfriend Jeremy Renner? They would be totally cute together. I know, it’s slim pickings. But, seriously, anybody but Mayer.
SAY IT AIN’T SO!! ):
This news bums me out…
No. Just, EEWWWW. No.
there has got to be some cute 20 – 25 year old out there, my first thought is Zac Efron but I know he is dating someone. She doesn’t have to go the “older guy route”
some ladies like me like bad guys..LOL…
Meh, just a 19 year old in her bad boy faze. a little time and lots of antibiotics and she’ll pull through.
@ BitterBetty –
LOL! Morning to you!
Well , it won’t last. Next.
I suppose she will get some good, bitter, slam ya music out of this!
But, still, I hate it! I want Taylor and Taylor together!
Well, she did just move out…
this is completely gross.
Mayer isn’t just a bad boy though, he’s a total jerk and a pig. And he’s too old for her.
He should change his first name to Oscar, since his wiener seems to make everyone be in love with him.
It’s been everywhere in H-wood, now it’s dipping into the newly-not-teenaged pool.
I like Taylor Swift. I like John Mayer. But I do not like them together. I really hope this is not true and maybe they are just working on a song together or something like that.
Mayer >>>>>> Hanks
He totally looks like he smoked a joint in that picture.
Taylor should back away and do it quickly. If she thought that Jonas boy broke her heart, it will be nothing compared to what John Mayer will do.
Gross! Don’t do it Taylor!
She needs a new hair cut. Like me,I’m a call my hairdresser ASAP!
If this is true…Scooby says Ruh Roh!
I like Colin Hanks as a potential suitor for her, liked him in Untraceable.
She should date a cute nobobdy! Then at least the relationship would have a chance…
If that’s true then I lose all respect for her. This jerk always seem high on drugs and alcohol.
All the women this douche date end up messed up.
Both seem to be prone to pr stunts for sure.
Too old, too many women has he already f**ked to taint young Taylor.
Taylor! If you do him, you are doing everybody he’s ever been with! yiiiich!
I hate to think of these two together, but if there is anyone who could bring out her inner Hoochie Mama, it is the Dark Dickster.
She’s seen a lot for a twenty year old, but she better strap in if she’s going on this ride.
LolaBella: Scooby says Ruh Roh is SO right! UGH! What IS it with this guy?? Personally I can’t see what’s attractive about him at all…unless his ‘yardstick’ is magnetic or something. But still…anyone remember the white sailor suit he wore not so long ago shooting a video or some such?? There was a pic on here…just BARF…I can’t think of a better adjective to describe him with!
I like John Mayer’s music and he totally rocks a guitar. And I find Taylor extremely talented as well. But the two of them together as a couple is just all kinds of wrong.
My guess for the dinner date is that hopefully they are discussing going on tour together or something and not anything romantic. That is about the only way I could stomach the two of them as a twosome …on a concert ticket.
Eww, gross. Run Taylor, run!
Well at least they are both tall. Poor Taylor kept having to hunch over with her other boyfreinds. Not an attractive look. John seems to enjoy being worshiped and Taylor is young enough to think he is Jesus’s sweat.
At the least we might get some good songs out of this hook up.
John Mayer and Taylor Swift collaborated on a song together for his new album. They are friends.
And isn’t Colin Hanks engaged?
No, Swifty, no!
I have SO much respect for Taylor–I absolutely LOVE her… but if she’s going out with this Mayer guy, I’m sorry, but she’d lose a few respect points. I mean, really. ;_;
Saying that they shouldn’t hook up due to the age difference is presumptuous. It depends on the individual situation and the maturity level of the people in question. My first love was 30 when I met him at 19, and he’s been the only man with whom I gelled nearly perfectly. So, on that account I won’t judge. What does need be called into question is Taylor’s judgment, which admittedly may have to do with her age, but that remains to be seen. Mayer has will-fuck-you-over-and-throw-you-two-sheets-to-the-wind written all over him and he’s been conspicuously vocal about it. So, if she plays with fire and gets incinerated then she only has herself to blame.
On furthernote,
Astrologically they are actually a good match :0
Yep, Colin Hanks is engaged. Actually, I bumped into him and his fiance at the airport a few months back, and talked with them for a little while. He was so nice, polite, genuine. Was obviously raised well. I was impressed.
I certainly hope dear little squinty eyed Taylor Swift is not hanging around creepoid John Mayer.
Cant stand him or his music-he just wants attention now so thats why hes latched on to her…
she should get herself tested after being in the same room as mayer
@bitter betty – LMAO! i think i need antibiotics just looking at mayer’s picture.
who gives a flying hoot if they are dating?! they are both adults and can make their own decision!
Well, who hasn’t dated a bad boy at one time or another? I’m sure Mayer enjoys his reputation as a heartbreaker. He may actually develop feelings for something one day, but it won’t be anytime soon.
If she gets involved with this dog, knowing his reputation (and who doesn’t know his reputation), she deserves everything she gets.
Mayer is on the cover of Rolling Stone this month. There have been excerpts posted on the internet. *Gag* He may be a brilliant musician, but he sounds like a walking petri dish.

I’m with April. If Taylor thought the Jonas guy did her dirt, she is in for a real heartbreak! Oh well, live and learn. No one listens about this kind of stuff. We all make our own mistakes…
He definitely has something the ladies like (L0L)!!!
