    17 Things Every British Person Needs To Know About John Mayer

    It recently came to my attention that the vast majority of Brits are unaware of John Mayer. Well to borrow a line from the great Jay-Z, y'all gon' learn today.

    1. First and foremost, he is legitimately talented, AKA insta-ladyboner!

    2. He's also SEXY AS $&*#.

    3. He's dated some gorgeous girls—like Katy Perry...

    4. And Jennifer Aniston!

    5. Even Jessica Simpson. But...

    6. When they broke up, he told Rolling Stone she was "crazy" in bed—like "sexual napalm."

    7. In the same interview, he used the N-word, adding, "My d--k is sort of like a white supremacist."

    8. He also made some very off-color jokes (?) on Twitter...

    9. But he felt it was important to keep the fans updated about his manhood.

    10. Ultimately, though, he decided he just needed more than 140 characters to express himself.

    11. The ladies, of course, will always love him (Source: Twitter, Life).

    12. Even the famous ones—like Taylor Swift.

    13. They dated briefly before breaking it off. Things didn't end well.

    14. Naturally, Taylor wrote a song called "Dear John" on her next album, wishing she'd learned from his past.

    15. Three years later, John got his revenge on T.Swift with "Paper Doll."

    16. He's definitely aired some dirty laundry in public and said some controversial comments, but he's human.

    17. And despite some moments of acting like a complete wanker, his music always draws us back in.

    Because his songs are perfect for cuddling...

    Getting through the "woe is me" moments...

    And embracing the feeling of finally meeting your match.

    He might not be cool enough for Yeezy...

    But after a decade of disinterest, it's time for the Brits to reconsider John Mayer.
