Also classic, John Meyer is not in the Songwriters' Hall of Fame. But the girl who wrote this song at 19 years old is 😘

Also that he chose a song from speak now which is the only album she’s written 100% by herself because critics said she couldn’t write.

I also saw someone point out “over your sad empty town” might be a twist on Mayor/Mayer and those word games are my favorite parts of her lyrics and I can’t believe I missed that one.

This song was always top tier lyrically and sonically. Also the fact that she used his bluesy guitar riffs so there was no question who she was pointing to.

K but also it’s rumored she wrote that song after receiving the starlight award, he presented it to her that night, made much of that speech about himself and undermined her writing, oh and the dress she performed dear John in on the speak now tour was almost identical to the dress she wore that night. Anyway, I think Taylor recommended that song to sombr very intentionally
