Mendes and Mayer Discuss Exes' Songs

In a recent episode of John Mayer's radio show, Mayer and Shawn Mendes shared their experiences of having high-profile ex-girlfriends write hit songs about them, highlighting the emotional toll this can take. Mayer, who has been linked to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, and Mendes, associated with Camila Cabello and Sabrina Carpenter, discussed the challenges of public scrutiny and feeling misrepresented in these songs. Both artists expressed that while it can be painful to hear songs that reference them, the beauty of love outweighs the discomfort of being written about. Mayer humorously noted the difficulty of discussing such unique experiences with therapists, as they cannot relate to the pressures of celebrity life. Mendes emphasized that the suffering from these songs is minor compared to the joy of falling in love. The conversation reflects the complexities of romance in the public eye and the ways it influences their artistry.
