I have new details on Taylor Swift & John Mayer. As I reported earlier this week, the two musicians were spotted at Cabana in Nashville. While they were with a large group of friends sitting in the front booth near the bar area, Taylor was seen showing affection towards John by rubbing on his back. The pop country princess was also overheard in the bathroom talking to one of her pals about hanging out with him later. Steph spies say the 20-year old cutie was also seen leaving with the 32-year-old rocker.
