I saw these photos of John Mayer at our photo agency this morning and thought to myself…when was the last time we dedicated a post to John Mayer? Here and there Maria mentions him in Celebrity Social Media but it’s always associated with Andy Cohen, because he’s more of the moment than John, and has been for a while. 

 

There was a time, however, when John Mayer had a steady presence on the blogs. And now we hardly ever talk about him. I have no idea what he’s doing, I’m not motivated to find out what he’s doing, I’m sure he’s busy and relatively booked but he’s off the gossip radar, for the most part…although he did have dinner with Kiernan Shipka a few weeks ago – do people still think that’s a thing? It’s been two years since that story first broke and then went quiet, and then they met up in July but nobody seemed to care that much. Because they don’t believe it or because they’re not interested?

 

That’s my point, really, with this post and how little we’ve come to care about John Mayer in comparison to a decade ago when he could not keep himself out of the gossip industrial complex. Sometimes I wonder if that’s a choice he made for himself, to go about his celebrity quieter, or if it’s because Taylor Swift’s fans decided to suppress him. Not sure if they have that much power, since Jake Gyllenhaal seems to be doing just fine, but John’s douchery in comparison to Jake’s has been so much more documented and with other women too – Jessica Simpson and also Jennifer Aniston. 

 

But after everything I just said, here’s the real reason I’m posting about John Mayer today – the most popular meme coming out of the final weekend of the Olympics, you can't escape it. This tweet popped up in my feed yesterday and then John went out for dinner and, well, it was like the universe was telling me something, LOL.
