[Last night John Mayer was in Nashville for the Crossroads
taping with Keith Urban. Taylor Swift
attended amid speculation that she and Mayer are now dating. My sources tell me
she was backstage before the show, totally crushing on him, very
"smitten", flirting, like a young girl intoxicated by attraction to
an older man, too young to separate artistry from douchery.
On Monday night,
Taylor and Mayer went out for dinner with a large group. I'm told this is how she
gets around her mom. Momma Swift is a wary parent and some say Taylor arranges
their time together in crowds so as not to hear it from her mom later on. There
are some rumours that John was seen at her place afterwards. This has not been
substantiated.
At the performance however her affection for him was
undeniable. She was cheering enthusiastically in the audience, making hand
hearts at him constantly, and the buzz among industry insiders and crew is that
they're definitely dating. Some have even told me that this is why she called
it off with Taylor Lautner. Because while there was no spark with Tom Cruise's
mini me, she was compelled to explore the intensity of her feelings for John.
As you can imagine, for squeaky clean TSwizzle, a hook up with Mayer, currently
extolling the virtues of masturbation in the pages of Rolling Stone, is
problematic for her image. It remains to be seen then how her team will manage
the progression of this relationship. Kanye was nothing. Nothing compared to
how this dicksplash could destroy her. Then again, she's young. And it happens.
We are/were all due for a transformational devastating affair. At 20, for
Taylor, it's only a matter of time. It's just really too bad it could be him.
Because on a romantic resume, John Mayer is a straight up smear.]
Well, if nothing else, Taylor will get some great songs out of the experience and John will get another notch on his well-used belt. Click on the Lainey link above for photos of Swift and Mayer from last night's event. They look very chummy...
