Taylor Swift Tour

John Mayer Wants Taylor Swift

Posted by Janice Bryant On June 18, 2009

It’s pretty clear that John Mayer has a high opinion of himself. However it turns out that he thinks highly of Taylor Swift, the teen icon as well. In March, Mayer while on Twitter, revealed that he had just finished the song “Half of My Heart,” and he was hoping it would be a duet he would sing with Swift. He likened it to Swift making a killer Stevie Nicks to his Tom Petty type of song. This was very high praise coming from Mayer.

In Elle’s upcoming issue, Swift gushes about his tweet, talking about how freaked out she was when she heard because of the fact that she had been a huge fan of John’s for a very long time. She said she was very excited about the very idea that John would even mention her in a Twitter.

It seems that the way into Swift’s heart is through electronic flattery. The same could be said for Demi Lovato who shared somewhat of a twitter-mance earlier in the year with Mayer. If you’re wondering what a Mayer-Swift collaboration might sound like, you may not have to just leave it to your imagination. Mayer actually made an appearance at a concert of Swift’s last month in Los Angeles. They performed together on “Your Body Is A Wonderland” and “White Horse.”

Whether all of this will lead to a track together is anyone’s guess, but the pair do seem to have plenty of chemistry to pull it off, even if the Nicks-Petty comparison is quite the hyperbole. Given that Mayer seems to have quite a liking for teen pop singers, at least musically, is a Miley Cyrus collaboration inevitable as well?
