Yesterday was Taylor Swift’s 27th birthday. Every year of Taylor’s life feels like a dog’s year, meaning that she manages to fit seven years of drama and living and pettiness into one year. It’s a remarkable thing. Speaking of drama and pettiness, Taylor had a brief but memorable “thing” with John Mayer many years ago. Some believe that Mayer was her first REAL boyfriend, as in he was the first guy who wasn’t just with her as part of some PR set-up. They happened, undercover, for a few months and then he reportedly dumped her. She wrote “Dear John” about him, allegedly, and perhaps his involvement with Katy Perry is one of the reasons why Katy and Tay-Tay have such bad blood. So how did John celebrate his ex’s 27th birthday?

They dated briefly from November 2009 to February 2010, with their acrimonious split inspiring her hit-song, Dear John. And it seems that the wounds have still not healed, as John Mayer took a veiled dig at his ex girlfriend Taylor Swift on Tuesday, her birthday. As she turned 27 on December 13, the Love On The Weekend singer, 39, took a swipe at her by labelling her day of birth ‘the lamest day of the year’ on Twitter.

In a tweet that he appears to have deleted a short while later, the singer wrote: ‘Tuesday, December 13 may be the lamest day of the year, conceptually.’

John’s apparent dig at his ex-girlfriend could be viewed as quite the personal attack, as Taylor has credited her day of birth with being her own lucky number. In 2009 she explained the importance of the number in her life, saying: ‘The significance of the number 13 on my hand… I paint this on my hand before every show because 13 is my lucky number; for a lot of reasons.’

I went looking for the tweet and it does seem like John deleted it, but someone thoughtfully screencapped it (below). This is one of the reasons why John and Taylor were actually a good match: they’re both pretty lame and petty. She also had a similar bond with Calvin Harris, although Calvin tried to re-brand himself as someone not-petty and rather magnanimous (it did not stick). Obviously, it’s cold as hell to publicly mock someone on their birthday, but the absolute “lamest” thing is perhaps to shade someone’s actual birth day. I mean, oooooh, you delivered such a burn on a… day of the week.

Uh. John Mayer just tweeted and deleted this. But thank God for screenshots 😁 #HappyBirthdayTaylorSwift pic.twitter.com/VPUqCX8eJ1
