Now, we all know that pop music fandoms can get a bit intense—like, really intense. Sending threats is unfortunately something that has happened in the past, with artists like Demi Lovato even having to step in and ask their fans to dial it back. For some context, back when Swift was just 19, she dated Mayer, who was 32 at the time. Things didn’t end well, and she allegedly wrote “Dear John” about him, which he famously criticized as “cheap songwriting.” Given this history, it’s no wonder that some Swifties harbor a dislike for him, but one fan took it too far this past weekend.
This random Swift fan slid into Mayer’s DMs with a message that read, “f*ck yourself you ugly b*tch i hope you choke on something,” followed by a heart emoji and an “answer me you b*tch.” To everyone’s surprise, Mayer replied!
“Hi Sarah, it’s John. I’ve been getting so many messages like these the past couple of days, I decided to choose your message at random to reply to,” he wrote. “Feel free to screenshot and share if you want. I’m not upset, but I’m just curious—do you really hope that I die?” The fan later posted the conversation on TikTok (she made it private after) and even sent Mayer a voice note explaining that it was all a dare from her friend, who is also a Swift fan. “I didn’t think you would actually see it!” she apologized.
Mayer then asked her, “So it’s a fun thing people are doing, not thinking I might be affected by it?” The fan assured him that nobody expected him to actually respond since he’s famous. They ended the chat on a somewhat positive note, with Mayer saying there was “some healing here today.” The fan even warned him that things might heat up again when Swift releases her new version of “Dear John.”
Look, it’s totally valid to feel upset about how Mayer treated Swift, but wishing him dead? That’s a bit extreme. As another Swift fan pointed out, “We can dislike John Mayer but DEATH THREATS? Let’s not embarrass Taylor, please.” Another suggested that Swift should address this and remind fans that threatening her exes isn’t the way to show support.
So, let’s all take a chill pill, enjoy “All Too Well” for the millionth time, and leave the threats out of it, shall we?
