#3: Taylor Swift and John Mayer

For a long time, fans and the media have been closely following Taylor Swift’s history of high-profile romances. One of the notable romances in her past was with musician John Mayer. Back in 2009, when Taylor was just 19 and John was 32, the two started a short-lived yet closely watched-relationship.

The significant age gap and the subsequent heartbreak inspired Taylor’s heartfelt song, “Dear John.” Taylor continued expressing her feelings through her music, releasing the “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” track on her “Midnights” album. While their time together may have been short-lived, it became a source of inspiration for Taylor, creating the opportunity to release new songs. Lucky fans!
