‘You absolute loser’: Why Taylor Swift’s ‘The Manuscript’ could be about ex John Mayer

They are in no way ever receiving back alongside one another. 

Taylor Swift is infamous for creating tunes about her exes — and on her freshly launched album “The Tortured Poets Office,” which dropped on Friday, she might have when once again invoked John Mayer. 

Some admirers think her new track “The Manuscript” is about Mayer, 46. 

The second verse of the track can make a reference to a relationship between individuals with a large age gap. In 2009, when Swift dated the “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” singer, Swift was 19 and Mayer was 32.

The song’s lyrics say, “In the age of him, she wished she was 30 / And produced coffee every morning in a Frеnch push / Later on she only atе kids’ cereal / And couldn’t sleep except it was in her mother’s mattress.” 

“john mayer you will under no circumstances have peace,” a person enthusiast posted on X, previously Twitter, following to an impression of the lyrics from “Manuscript.” 

“the manuscript……..john mayer you will hardly ever reside this down,” one more supporter claimed. 

“the manuscript oh john mayer you complete loser,” one more lover explained. 

Taylor Swift has a prolonged background of creating about her exes on her albums — from Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal to Joe Jonas and Harry Variations.

This track isn’t Swift’s 1st time ripping into Mayer. 

Her 2010 song “Dear John” famously bashed the “Your System Is a Wonderland” singer just after their breakup. And the pop superstar appeared to be at it once more on “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” — a single of 7 extra tunes on a shock “3am Edition” of her “Midnights” album. 

In that tune, she sang, “Give me back my girlhood, it was mine to start with/And I damn absolutely sure never ever would’ve danced with the satan.” 

She also designed a direct reference in that track to becoming 19, the exact same age she was when she dated Mayer. 

In “The Manuscript,” Swift also has a line about dating “boys who have been her possess age.”

Subsequent her relationship with Mayer, Swift moved onto  Connor Kennedy, Styles and Calvin Harris, all of whom were being closer in age to her than Mayer, and her latest beau, NFL player Travis Kelce, is her very same age, 34. 

She also seemingly wrote about Mayer in “The Story of Us” from 2010’s “Speak Now.”

“Now and then I reread the manuscript / But the tale is not mine anymore,” she sings on “The Manuscript.” 

So “The Manuscript” could be a immediate reference to that other observe.
