all those guys don't want to keep her around … there's obviously something wrong with her. She might just be a wee bit crazy. She'll keep dissing her exes in songs, but clearly there's something about her that drives these guys away. Please stop writing these cheesy, generic songs about your "heartbreak." We stopped caring long ago.

It's probably about Will Anderson from Parachute…

Pretty sure it's about John. Can't be about Taylor, because she's admitted that they broke up because of something she did. I don't think her and Joe broke up more than once, and I think that dead horse has been beaten up enough. She mentions indie albums "that are so much cooler than mine". Sounds John Mayer Douche Bag to me. She also said she "thought it was forever" and she's mentioned many times how in love she was with Mayer.

She really needs to grow up. She's in her early 20s and pens obsessive songs about relationships gone bad. I suppose her latest choice in dating a younger man might be a step in the right direction. He many not recognize her immaturity as easily as the others.

Yeah, I love this song so much! Taylor, your my idol and I love you too. I think she wrote this song for Jake, but I am not sure. Greetings everyone!

I expect we will see her dating younger and younger men as she gets older. She is very immature.

None were "burned". She is the one that looks like an idiot, like a 15 year old girl. But I guess that's why you get your panties in a bunch, you are a 14 year old girl.

Why does the votes have majorly Jake? Common people!! They saw each other like a couple of times. It wasn't serious enough for her to write a song about.
Heh says – reply to this

15

It's none of the above because I cant believe that any of them would even suggest getting back together with her, this is the type of girl that guys run the hell away from

I second what Carina said..I've thought that all along…she's a grown woman and acts like she's in middle school…I'm embarassed for her..honestly if she didnt act so immature and asexual about everything I'd probably enjoy her a little more, but she makes herself seem so childish.

She is annoying & dumb! She needs to take some notes from Kelly Clarkson and Alanis Morissette.

Wow that slut just goes throoough the men eh? Or maybe its the guys who go through her, she must be crazy or super needy or something for that many dudes to pump and dump her.
Amkb says – reply to this

21

Anybody ever think its her with the problem? She obviously must suck as a girlfriend since she can't keep a boyfriend for more than a few months at a time. Grow up bitch, then you might get more respect.

it'd be totally weird if it were about jake because he's like 30 something and this song sounds soo early high school… like sending your friends to give messages for you.

Hmm This song sounds like it should be written by a 15 year-old I thought she was in her twenties?!
ceed says – reply to this

26

Definitey about Joe Jonas, or maybe Taylor Lautner, they're gay so they will "never ever getting back together".
She dates gays who eventually cheat on her, leave her heart-broken, and give her inspiration to write stupid songs like this one …
tiffany says – reply to this

27

it's fun. it's catchy. and it's only one song on an album that none of us have heard yet. for anyone to act like certain relationships haven't brought out the immaturity in us is simply untrue. she is a great lyrical writer. she seems like a beautiful person. i am 27 and will always be a fan of her.

that said, i am sure her clues in the cd cover will give away who it is eventually.

Taylor uses guys so she can write song about them….

none of the above…she says something about indie record label unless one of these guys is signed to an indie record label I say none.

Jake because he likes Indie/Rock genre. And here are some other reasons (it was written before the song released)
By the way, I love love love the song!

I don't believe this is Jake because, first they didn't date that much and second, there is no way since he dumped her, which he definitely did, and she was like angry, and she made him look really bad, too, so he wouldn't go there again. Uh, uh. Maybe her & Joe Jonas? Or Will Anderson.
ren says – reply to this

34

She is absolutely insufferable. She dates the most amazing men in the world, it falls apart weeks later, and then she writes an entire album about how they wronged her so. Every. Time. Taylor, its you, not them. Quit moping about and get your musical shit together because everyone is sick of hearing you whine about how mean boys are to you. Grow up.

Re: lulu.leigh – She needs to take notes from Kelly Clarkson? The same Kelly Clarkson who rymed 'all' with 'y'all' and 'down' with 'down' on one of her songs? Hahahaahaa good one man, god I needed a good laugh. Kelly Clarkson's lyrics have about as much depth as kids pool at the swimming baths!

There are a lot of rude comments on here–let's all remember that Taylor is a person and has feelings just like the rest of us. She is a wonderful singer/songwriter which has made her well known throughout the world, but she is still just a human being. She was obviously having fun with this song, and judging by her success in the industry and how well she connects with her fans of all ages, I wouldn't say she is immature at all. Sitting at your computer, and wasting your time posting mean things about a singer is immature. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I think she needs to get a grip, drop everything, everyone, shut the hell up, quit playing games, come up here, quit being an idiot towards men, let me love her, and let me smell her feet.

F***** chick. Quit being evil to men!

I find it funny how Adele isn't that much older than T.Swift. (maybe a year) and look at the difference in maturity when it comes to their lyrics. I still love Swift though.

I'm willing to bet the song is about John Mayer and how he called Taylor to make up with her, while he was entertaining another girl. I'm guessing that he attempted to make up with her, while he was down low linked to another girl. She used a word that Mayer used 'exhausting.' Mayer has issues with being faithful with women. When he thinks he's found someone better than the current, he'll simply walk off and act like he doesn't know them from what I hear. He goes through women quick. The Internet is really his weakness. He can't stay away from it. His favorite pastime is gathering and collecting girls on the Internet, and when someone that he feels is better comes along, he pulls the "you were talking to my friend and not me" game. He likes to make these girls feel crazy. He's done it to several girls on tumblr and the net. His favorite thing to say to these girls is "you weren't talking to John, I'm not John, or hope you don't think I'm John Mayer. I'm just some random guy." he's left a trail of girls everywhere on the net and on tumblr. Katy better watch out. Aniston had good reasons for leaving because John Mayer hasn't stopped. He's still up to his booty hunts on Tumblr, game communities, music communities and more. He will be good to Katy for a while but he will remain a womanizer. Hoping that Taylor shares more. Mayer isn't a changed man.

I'm so tired of all you people bitching about what perez puts on his site. GET THE FUCK OFF OF IT THEN. You'd think if you don't like hearing about gossip you wouldn't come to a 'gossip website'. And I like how taylor swift writes some of her songs about exs, it makes you think and it makes the song more relatable to some girls. At least she isn't writing songs about screwing people and doing drugs.

Re: Laura – kelly clarkson doesn't even write her own lyrics, not most of them anyway. Taylor swift writes ALL of her songs and plays her own instruments. Not saying kelly clarkson isn't a good artist she is an amazing singer, but you can't compare taylor swift and kelly clarkson they are both completely different.
Tanya T says – reply to this

48

oh and btw all of these guys taylor has dated was over a 5 year spand, you guys act like she went through all of these guys in a year or less, all of her songs written about guys started about 5 years ago, so for those people who call her a 'slut' she really isn't…
thekill says – reply to this

I love Taylor and her music, but the girl falls in love way too quickly and I'm pretty sure she does EVERYTHING guys absolutely hate and run away from. She needs to slow down just a bit with this new guy and not be so obsessive. But who knows? Maybe she does it on purpose so she could have new material for her songs. Hmmm…

taylor swift is annoying. if i were a guy, i would steer clear of her.

she just dates these guys for song material.

Taylor's a fantastic song writer and the songs aren't immature at all. She must be doing something right because she's one of the most successful singers out there!
Love this song.

I wonder how Will Anderson feels that A. this song is definitely about him yet B. no one seems to know who he is to even speculate that the song being about him. He has infinite songs about Taylor and she has a ton about him! Where's the willyj love?
Tiffany says – reply to this

56

"all she sings about is heartbreak from her ex's" that's funny, because if you actaully bought her albums, you'd realize she only wrote like 7 about breakups, out of over 40 songs. how about you stop trashing Taylor, who has well over 120 awards including 6 Grammys. She's undoubtedly an amazing singer and songwriter.
amb says – reply to this

57

it's none of the above, first of all people voting for taylor lautner, and jake.. they don't sing.. and if you listened to the second verse, where she refers to their indie record which is much cooler than hers. so it's not them. joe jonas and her only dated once, so he said, and his music is pretty mainstream.. i feel like it's either will from parachute, or the guy she was linked too from foster the people..

Guys, all singer songwriters write songs about their personal life. She comes from a country background and while her songs don't sound country anymore, the writing style is extremely similar to other country songs in that they are brutally honest. Just shut it and either enjoy the music or don't. I would like to see you guys write songs…

either Ryan from HCR or Martin from Boys Like Girls.
I'm leaning towards Ryan, she was involved with him more recently

Ok, so like Taylor just wants a boy to totally like her without trying to like have sex with her. She just wants to kiss and hold hands and fun stuff like shopping at the mall and maybe have her special boyfriend buy her a stuffed bear from Build-A-Bear Workshop.
That's what true love is all about. Hey, maybe she thinks tongue kissing is icky and guys just keep trying to make her do it.
People just need to give her a break. Her music is so totally cool. Ten-year-old girls need a role model to look up to. Especially now that Miley Cyrus is like the Anti-Hannah!
Ashley says – reply to this

63

I don't know which one it may be about though probably the guy from parachute will Anderson or jake gyllenhaal as they are the most recent relationships she's had ,but she's already had songs about Taylor, joe, and John so it most likely isn't any of them
