It’s no secret that Taylor Swift has fans that truly love her. Swifties have been one of the largest and most devoted fandoms that the music industry saw in the last decade. They keep an eye on every move of their beloved pop star and discuss it intelligently over social media. If you are a regular on Twitter, you might already know how they dissect the tiniest details of the videos and pictures posted or how they get enraged whenever someone tries to berate Swift.

So keeping that in mind, the 12-time Grammy winner came forward to give a message to her fans, and it involves John Mayer.

Taylor Swift asks Swifties to go gentle on people 

Pop Culture recently dropped the news on their Instagram page that the Folklore singer has urged her fans to not target John Mayer. During her Eras Tour show in Minneapolis, she pointed out that the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is only 13 days away. For this milestone, she decided to sing ‘Dear John’ for the first time in 11 years.

And before starting the performance, Swift asked her fans to refrain from cyberbullying anyone who is in the past now. The American artist gave a long speech about how she has seen magic happen on this stage and the bond Swifties have built with one another. So she wants them to spread the same kindness and love on the internet too.

“I’m 33 years old. I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19 except the songs I wrote and the memories we made together,” she remarked. The musician made it explicitly clear in the speech that she does not need her fans to defend her for something that is not important to her anymore. Meanwhile, for people who are not versed in the relationship between Swift and Mayer, we have got it covered for them below.

A look back at Taylor and John Mayer’s Relationship

Swift and Mayer first connected in 2009, when they worked together on his single ‘Half of My Heart’. Following this, the former duo was seen performing together several times. This chemistry sparked romance between the two, but they never publicly confirmed it. Fans widely believe that their relationship ended in 2010 when they released breakup tracks including Swift’s ‘Dear John’ and Mayer’s ‘Paper Doll’.

At this time, it remains unclear if they get along or not, but we do know that she has parted ways with Joe Alwyn after six years of romance.
