Mayer tells Rolling Stone that he is "really humiliated" by her song "Dear John," which he believes unfairly takes a swipe at him in the wake of their rumored fling, which fizzled out in 2010.
"I didn't deserve it," he tells the mag about the song, which was on her 2010 album, Speak Now. "I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do."
The two were rumored to be an item in late 2009 after she supposedly split from Taylor Lautner. Mayer, meanwhile, was on the rebound from his tempestuous romance with Jennifer Aniston.
"I never got an e-mail, I never got a phone call," he says about Swift's bitter ditty, which includes lyrics like "Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games."
"I was really caught off-guard," he explains, "and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?"
"I will say as a songwriter that I think it's kind of cheap songwriting,"
