John Mayer just released a new single titled “Paper Doll” and it’s got people convinced that the song is about Mayer’s ex-girlfriend, Taylor Swift!
The song feature a specific line which caught everyone’s attention and hinted at being a jab at Taylor Swift. The lyrics read, “You’re like 22 girls in one / And none of them know what they’re running from / Was it just too far to fall for a little paper doll?”
While the reference to Taylor’s sing, “22” is obvious, many people are calling it underhanded since it seems like Mayer went out of his way to attack Swift. Swift had previously written a song titled “Dear John” about her relationship with Mayer, but it’s argued that Swift was subtle in her references and wrote the song for catharsis.
Do you think John Mayer’s reference to Taylor was uncalled for or do you think that both John and Taylor are equally bad for writing songs about their relationships?
