HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Taylor Swift won't reveal if her new song, "Dear John," is written for one John Mayer, a man she was briefly linked to when the pair collaborated last year.
"A lot of times when people's relationships end, they write an e-mail to that person and say everything that they wish they would have said," Swift tells People of the rumors surrounding the song's meaning. "A lot of times they don't push send."
The song's lyrics would seem to support the theory that Swift, 20, is writing about Mayer, who is 13 years older. "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with," she reportedly sings on the track.
"This was a tough one to write," admits Swift, "and I guess putting it on the album was pushing send."
The Grammy winner has a history of writing about her past relationships, a theme that continues on her new album, Speak Now, which drops Oct. 25.
Says Swift: "This is album number three, so I figure that these people have had fair warning."
