Taylor Swift is the Queen of Revenge songs
But what happens when some of those people who inspired those classic T-Swizzle hits clap back at the queen?
Well, you've got some pretty great songs and a few mediocre ones
But nonetheless here are eight songs that other artists wrote with Taytay in mind right here on listed
First person to kick off this list is none other than John Mayer remember the two dated broke up
And then dear John was created and put on Taylor's speak now album
Well, it's no secret that tate a pen fat ballad for John
I mean, just look at the title of the song for crying out loud, but Taylor has yet to come out and confirm it
So I guess it's still kinda in the air anyway the musician was definitely not happy when he found out little miss Taylor
Allegedly wrote this song about him and he told rolling stones that he felt really humiliated
But instead of letting it go [John] decided to give the popstar a taste of her own medicine
By playing Taylor's own game against her and released a song called Paper doll now
You're probably thinking, but wait Sarah John never came out and said the song was about Taylor
So how do we really know it's about her true?
We don't know definitely if the song is about T-Swizzle
But the lyrics are literally too good and a little too coincidental [for] [it] not [to] be about her for starters
There's this line you like 22 cousin world
That could be a reference to Taylor song 22 which was released the same year
paper doll came out John also sings about someone else painting the unknown Gal in the song another sky
and that's eerily too similar to [the] line about
Painting blue skies in Dear John Coincidence, I don't think so
But unless both parties come out and admit the meeting we're stuck in this weird
Did they write the songs about each other or Knafeh?
so unlike John Mayer Kanye west is a little more blunt when it comes to his music and
Lyrics the Rapper is not afraid to call out other
Celebrities or public figures in his song and his track famous is no different like me and Taylor my still has sex
Why I made that bitch famous dude
Yeah
I think it's safe to say that yeezy was
Definitely talking about Taylor Swift when he said that line because the rapper did admit that he asked [Taytay] for her blessing which she strongly
Denied but either way, there's no denying yay had taytay [and] mine when he wrote that rap anyway
Let's get back on the [ex-boyfriend] train if you already didn't know Taylor and Joe of the Jonas brothers
relationship did not end on a good note [in] fact according to Taylor Joe broke up with her over the phone in a
27 Or was it 26 either way a
[20-something] second phone call that left a very bitter taste in her mouth
By then there were rumors that Joe was cheating on Taylor with Camilla Belle which
Sparked her to pen this song better than revenge where she called out the actress for her talents on the mattress
Low blow Taylor even for you anyway
Joe wasn't the one to back down because he in turn penned a song much better and dissed T-swizzle with this sick third
stars all the Cheers on
Get it because [tailor] has a song titled teardrops on my guitar
Okay
You get the point the next song on our list is none other than perfect by One Direction
Ever since the boy band released the song as one [of] their singles there was a lot [of] speculation
on whether or not the song was about tea Swifty Harry was
Constantly grilled about the meaning of the tune and while he did admit in a past interview that he as well as other musicians
Right from personal experience he didn't come out and say the song was exactly about Taylor
But it is hard to deny that this particular line was about his famous Ex
[did] she looking for someone to [ratchet] [back] [up] songs?
Ba-baby imperfect
Especially since Taylor is the one to be writing up songs about her breakup with her exes now
Let's take a break from the revengeful songs and move on to something a little more positive shall. We remember back in
2008 when Taylor's fearless album came out and she had a song [called] hey Stephen
Well the song was actually written about Stephen barker liles from the band love and theft and he was so flattered by the move that
He decided to return the favor and write a song for Taylor this singer said in a past interview quote you know
what's funny about the whole thing is that I actually wrote a song for
Taylor at the same time that she wrote hey Stephen for me
So when Taylor called me back in 2008 and told me about the song she wrote for me
I was actually like that's funny because I wrote a song about you, [too]
It was a weird moment because I wasn't expecting her [to] [say] she wrote a song for me
And I thought it was a mutual thing on her and [too]
but she asked me what the words are so I only told her a little bit and this was basically the line Stephen revealed to
Taylor during their little chat this world has gone crazy
so baby, woody say
Try to make it anywhere. It's refreshing to see some nice responses and to oppose to passive aggressive ones
But it's time to get back on the Shady train now
I don't know about you, [but] this next one really surprised me because this guy didn't date Taylor at all
But he did date one of her bfFs, so I guess that's kind of the same anyway back when Justin released his album
journals in
2013 there was one track on there titled all bad that had many believers wondering if Justin was shading Selena's Bestie Taylor and well
Let's listen to it before I spill more tea from this story
There was definitely a lot being [said] throughout the song
But if you didn't get how that particular part of the song could be shady let me remind you [that] earlier that same year?
Taylor totally stuck out her tongue after seeing Justin Selena
Briefly reunite Backstage at the 2013 Billboard Awards not to mention Justin also
[Kinda] Sorta confirmed that the track was about Taylor by retweeting a tweet that said
I think Justin was shading Taylor in hashtag [all] bad and
Then moments later undoing the very action after fans got the message shady
Now here's another one for you, Kacey musgraves good
Ol Boys Club
Track definitely got a lot of rumor mills turning when people started to assume the song was a [diss] towards [her] former country peer
This is a specific line that had many wondering if the country star was dissing tay tay
If you're not a huge swifty this line will probably go over your head
But Casey's big machine line could have been a reference to Taylor since the pop princess is signed to the big machine label group
Not to mention casey's other lyric in the song favor for friends will get you in and get you far
Shouldn't be about who it is you know but how good you are?
Sounds like it could be a subtle dig at Taylor Star-studded bad blood music video
But then again the song was probably recorded way before tay tay's music video came out
While casey denied that the song had nothing to do with the 1989 star
She did tell fader magazine that quote I'm talking about a lot of different people any
Industry has its xuan's and people that get in because they know somebody or their dad [work] there, whatever, but yeah
There is a wink. That's literally all we needed to know casey. That's all we needed to know and then there's this song from the
1975 called change apart [as] some of you may [remember] the band's lead singer Matt [Keeley] and Taylor rumored to be dating in
2014 and although the two have said they were simply friends that didn't stop the Indie Rock band to reportedly pen a song about Taylor
Here's a little clip [of] it
cute
So basically change [apart] is about a cruel and shallow woman
Which makes me wonder how this song is even about today because she seemed so far from that description
But a source close to the lead singer did tell page six that quote she taylor may have inspired some of it
But the song is about more than one girl neither mad nor
Taylor have confirmed or denied that so we can just assume that the song is sorta inspired by tay tay so were you
