John Mayer made a shocking confession about one of his songs — on the same weekend Taylor Swift‘s breakup news went public. Hmm…
The 45-year-old singer recently opened up about his track Paper Doll — a song fans have long believed is about Taylor.

Yeah, there’s no denying that Paper Doll seems to be a clap back at Taylor! He clearly was very salty about the hate he received after Dear John was released.
But after their back-and-forth song drama, John seems to have some regrets over his response to everything! During his concert at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California on April 8, he reflected on the song and confessed that the tune may have come across as a little too “bitchy” — at least for his liking these days. In a video posted on TikTok, John could be seen telling the audience:
Ya, think? Ch-ch-check
