Taylor Swift Urges Fans to Show Kindness to Ex-Boyfriend Ahead of 'Speak Now' Re-Release
- Taylor Swift asked her fans to extend kindness to anyone they think she wrote a song about, including ex-boyfriend John Mayer.
- Swift is re-recording her album "Speak Now" and releasing "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" on July 7, which includes the song "Dear John" rumored to be about Mayer.
- Swift performed "Dear John" for the first time in 11 years and asked fans not to cyberbully Mayer ahead of the release.
- Mayer called "Dear John" "cheap songwriting" and said the song "humiliated" him when originally released in 2010.
- Swift said she only cares about the music she wrote when she was 19 and the memories she made, not defending herself against past relationships.
