Yep. Maybe he was an outsider back to his school days, or he simply couldn't move on from his first heartbreak. Dear God, please send John Mayer some self-esteem.

Hit Singles
I recently think that Taylor is still at the phase where she still need singles to sell albums. So yeah, for now, no hit singles, no album sales

Taylor also has so many songs that would be incredibly fitting to a high school environment, or a television singing show. Of course I'm always going to prefer her own versions, but it seems like it's just another thing she has to contend with in getting her songs out there and recognized. It's amazing how well she's done on her own, but I think many other artists have benefitted tremendously by the exposure they get on Glee and A.I.
I'd jus tlike to know if it's a ban by Fox on her or if it's Taylor's decision. It just doesn't make sense to me.
It's the same way with Fox's American Country Awards...they used Taylor's name to promote the show but when it came down to it, they never intended her to win any awards there. They used the awards to promote their own A.I. people and those that were connected with them in my opinion.

Basically what JakeKills said. But I'd like to add few things too: it looks like Taylor is pulling herself away from the Pop scene. We all know that pop acts never last (except you're MJ or Madonna ofc). With Glee or A.I or other FOX shows, it means her song will be turning to Kidz/Adultz Bop, the last thing that an artist need. Sure those shows will make the songs they covered 1000 times more successful, but it does no good for the longevity. And we all know Taylor wants longevity.

#PRAYFORTHESWIFTIE is trending here in my country. Apparently, a Swiftie named Joyce got hit by a car and died. And what's worse is I heard she's from my country.

Janell Wheeler of season 10(?) sang Love Story on Hollywood week and I think I also remember someone singing another Taylor song during the top 24 stage but I can't remember who and which season it was from.
And there were rumors last season that Scotty McCreery was considering to sing a Taylor song during country week so I don't think her songs are banned...

I am personally extremely glad that Taylors songs are not covered on Glee, Glee has murdered enough beautiful songs, Taylor can make her songs chart by herself she doesn't need a crappy cover.

I really agree with this. Taylor probably needs chart success less too than lets say Rihanna because she is not very expensive to the label.
About us being nice...yeah...i am probably the only one who acts like a diva sometimes.

Its all politics like how on A.I they either promote past idols or the people who are under interscope like Gaga if Taylor was part of that label she would probably have been able to perform. I remember when she 1st started she performed on America's got Talent with one of the contestants they sang Teardrops so if its any show that will let her perform I'd say they will especially due to her past history with NBC going back to her being a little 12-13 year old kid on the Today show they love her their

All the more ironic how Glee fans seem to think they are fans of some kind of higher art and like to look down on Taylor.
Please...

I'm wondering what the rumoured track with Nicki Minaj will do for her chart success and respect from pop fans.
But lets be honest here, Taylors lack of chart success this era is down to her record label, they have been a damn mess since the album release.

Did Taylor ever date Martin Johnson, lead singer of Boys Like Girls?
Just found an article suggesting that "“Taylor was really head over heels for Martin, but her team didn''t really feel that he was a good influence on her or her image,” RadarOnline.com quoted an insider as saying."
They wrote and sang Two Is Better Than One together, as well as cowriting If This Was A Movie.

They have always been good friends. Martin probably did have a crush on Taylor, but i think it was one-sided. Taylor does not seem to be the girl who takes orders. She dated Mayer lol.

Glee covers used to be pretty cool but now they just sound like its karaoke night at that shady bar in the bad part of town
I mean they took we are young, an awesome, beautiful song, and butchered it.
Im so glad I heard the original before the cover, because if I heard the cover first I wouldnt have any interest in the awesome original. I dont need them butchering Tay's masterpieces
