Taylor Swift's newly released "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" has brought back her fan favorite hit "Dear John" and resurfaced her alleged romance with musician John Mayer.

Swift re-recorded her 2010 album at the age of 32, and revisited some of the emotions she felt back then.The much anticipated re-record was released on July 7, and has fans buzzing about her romantic link to the "Gravity" crooner, who is rumored to be her inspiration for the album's fifth track.

Mayer and Swift never publicly confirmed their romance, but the two did perform together a handful of times in 2009 after collaborating on Mayer's song "Half of my Heart." The collaboration came about after Mayer tweeted that he wanted to work with Swift.

Mayer had an idea for the song "called 'Half of My Heart,'" saying, "I want to sing it with Taylor Swift." He added: "She would make a killer [Stevie] 'Nicks' in contrast to my [Tom] 'Petty' of a song." At the time, Swift was 19 and Mayer was 32.
