Taylor Swift Performs "Dear John" at Eras Tour, Tells Swifties Not To Defend Her on the Internet

[stewie_e]

Taylor Swift on the release of ‘Speak Now’ TV before performing ‘Dear John’:

“I’m 33 years old, I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19… I’m not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song… pic.twitter.com/cFQbKQk8vD

She truly is in her defend the man era lmao.

All her Stan’s heard was “defend me on the Internet”

[kerosene_pill]

Because that's actually what she was saying. Subliminal message. I can already see the tweets:

"you're supposed to read between the lines of what she said! She always has a message for us! She's a crpytic queen!"

[sestiere]

not surprised since John Mayer was already defending himself since last year when RED TV came out.

objectively he’s probably the ex that least deserves her cooling off her fans but he’s also one of the few who would publicly call her out for not telling them to stop - which I think is what she’s more worried about. She still hates that dude.

Coulda woulda should sounds like shed date him again in a heartbeat

[lets_hugg_x3]

"if i was a child did it matter if you got to wash your hands?" "give me back my girlhood, it was mine first" "i regret you all the time"

it really doesn't at all lol

[slaughtermatic]

No I know she says that, but she sounds different about him than her other sad exes. Like what they had was dark and sexy. I know shes grown now and she says the right thing but inside I thinks shes nuts. 🤷‍♀️

[zibbydoo324]

Who else thought she framed it this way because of Better Than Revenge?

[the_pinkdress]

Yeah that’s a good theory because she’s basically saying for the first time, ‘this is teenage stuff that no one cares about, it’s all water under the bridge’ lol.

[inkstainedlips]

That was my thought too.

[theonlysolution]

I fully thought she was going to sing that one when listening to her speech last night. Dear John felt like a complete curve ball lol

[the_pinkdress]

WOW. I know this is not that big a deal but it is to me lol she has NEVER once told her fans to stop defending her ever. This is like a true shift in the universe. I don’t know what to think.

I’m not saying this in a ~good for her~ way, I’m just shocked.

[corrykennedy]

She's said a couple things this tour that seem to be addressing the psycho fans. Like she talks about how she doesn't care if people listen to the original versions instead of the TV, cuz her stans attack each other over that

[steph313]

Even she seems to realize several of her TVs just can’t touch the originals. They sound like covers done by someone else and aren’t as good.

Her debut rerelease is going to be a hotmess.

[sassandthecity]

Is she going to have to put on that fake drawl she used to have
