“Clouds of sulfur in the air bombs are falling everywhere it's heartbreak warfare once you want it to begin, no one really ever wins in heartbreak warfare” I’m pretty sure everyone has heard this song, “Heartbreak Warfare”, by John Mayer. John Mayer definitely has the talent, looks and fame, but it seems like every relationship he encounters always comes to an end.
His most recent relationship was with the fun flirty and fabulous world famous pop star, Katy Perry. Both John and Katy looked so happy together and it was kind of a shock when they broke up. Then again given John’s track of dating…everyone was wondering when they would eventually split.
Lets take a little stroll down John Mayer’s hall of fame of lets just call it ghosts of girlfriends past. His first semi famous relationship was with singer Vanessa Carlton in 2002. After that relationship ended he briefly dated Jennifer Love-Hewitt. In 2006 John started dating Jessica Simpson. That relationship only lasted for a year but in a Playboy interview in 2010 he crudely joked about their sexual relationship they had had. Boys take note, if you do this nothing good will ever come out of it and you might even get a couple slaps in the face so just avoid revealing anything intimate after a bad breakup. After Jessica, John moved on to the cute and sweet girl next-door type, Minka Kelly. In 2008 Jennifer Aniston, the stunning woman who seems to never age, was John’s newest girlfriend. John later admitted that they broke up simply just because of the age gap between the two of them. Taylor Swift was John’s next victim of his dating list…or was John a victim on Taylor’s dating list? The both of them have been known for consistently having new significant others at their beck and call. John and Taylor started seeing each other at the end of 2009. They created the song “Half of my Heart” and sang it together. The couple called it quits early in 2010. John added another name to his ex’s list as did Taylor, but Taylor got a hit song on her album, Speak Now, called “Dear John”. One can only imagine who this song is about…no other than John Mayer himself. She bashed him in this song and made him seem like a real jerk. “Don’t you think nineteen’s too young to be played by your dark, twisted games?” and “maybe it’s you and your sick need to give love then take it away” are only a few of the lyrics in Taylor’s song “dedicated” to John. Talk about a bad breakup…pretty sure that’s at the top of the list. Silly John, he should’ve known not to mess with Taylor; she’ll write a song about anyone who crosses her path the wrong way. John remained single for a while after the Taylor incident until Katy Perry came along in 2012. The two broke up for a short period of time but got back together and seemed to be going strong until recently when they decided to split. John and Katy recorded a song together called “Who you Love”. Is this singing with your girlfriend becoming a trend for John? We’ll have to wait and see. I’ll admit I actually did like John and Katy together. I thought they were a good balance together. Katy is hyper and out there while John appears to be laid back and quieter.
Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love John Mayer and his music but he does appear to a bit of a womanizer. With his brooding brown eyes, signature white tees and sexy voice John is sure to captivate the eyes and heart of any woman. Any guesses as to whether or not Katy and John will reunite again or if John is already moving on to another target to add to his dating list? Only time will tell if John is ditching his past dating track or continuing on his usual bachelor route.
