“Yeah, I feel safe," before cheekily adding, "Praying for John," referring to John Mayer, the reported subject of Swift's scathing track "Dear John."

"Because I didn't deserve it. 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," he confessed.

"I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness," Taylor Swift announced on social media.
