John Mayer Appears To Respond To Taylor Swift Fans' Threats Ahead Of 'Speak Now' Rerelease

John Mayer has clapped back at one Taylor Swift fan who sent him a hateful message on social media.

After Swift dropped "Red (Taylor's Version)" and the 10-minute version of her song "All Too Well," which fans speculated was about her short-lived romance with Jake Gyllenhaal, it seems some fans of the 31-year-old singer have started trolling Mayer, whom the pop star dated from December 2009 to February 2010.

While Mayer wasn't talked about on the album, fans believe he is the subject of Swift's "Dear John," which will be rerecorded on "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."

Fan @hoeforlouaylor shared screenshots of their DMs with Mayer on Instagram before setting their account to private. The online user initially sent a message to the "Your Body Is A Wonderland" singer saying, "F--k yourself you ugly bitch I hope you choke on something," according to circulated screenshots of their exchange.

Mayer's account decided to respond to the user, claiming that the singer has received many hateful messages in the past few days.

"I've been getting so many messages like these past couple of days, I decided to choose your message at random to reply to," a message sent from Mayer's account read, according to the screenshots. "I'm not upset, I just tend to have a curious mind and feel compelled to ask. Do you really hope that I die?"

The Instagram user apologized to Mayer, who then assured them that he wasn't offended and only "wanted to understand" why some social media users were sending him threatening messages "without taking into account that I might see it and be affected by it."

The fan explained that "nobody really thought" Mayer would see those comments and apologized again.

"There was some healing today!" a message from the singer's account read, according to the screenshots. "It's 100% OK. Go forth and live happy and healthy!"

The Instagram user then warned Mayer that things will get worse when Swift releases the new version of "Dear John." "Take care of yourself," they wrote.

The Swiftie later released a statement saying that she was just 15 and asking that people stop sending death threats. She admitted that she didn't think Mayer would read her messages, but that he saw it two minutes after she sent it and right before she was going to delete it.

In "Dear John," which was first released in 2010, Swift sings, "Dear John, I see it all, now it was wrong / Don't you think nineteen is too young / To be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?"

"Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone / Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? / The girl in the dress, cried the whole way home," she adds.

Mayer later commented on Swift's lyrics, telling Rolling Stone in June 2012 that he "didn’t deserve" to be called out in a song.

"It made me feel terrible. It was a really lousy thing to do," Mayer said at the time, claiming, "I never got an email. I never got a phone call. I was really caught off guard."
