If Taylor Swift and John Mayer ran into each other at a Chateau event, that's likely as close as they'll ever get to reconciliation.

If ever there was bad blood between Taylor Swift and John Mayer, the two didn't show it in a supposed run-in at Chateau Marmont. The ex-couple's fallout continued for a time, but only through song.

The pair's practically throwing flak against each other through subtle, suggestive messages embedded in their songs, and ever since news they broke up, fans siding with each camp saw every single released as a blind letter addressed with resentment.

Taylor Swift's "Dear John" was allegedly a reference to Mayer, who supposedly messed around with her affections, offered false hope. While the lyrics could mean anything Swift intended, she never confirmed or denied anything, feeding speculation which is still dying a natural death.

Mayer's single "Paper Doll" is supposedly his response to Swift's song, to which he felt being burned beforehand. Taylor Swift and John Mayer may no longer be an item, but the Chateau Marmont run-in renewed interest for the pair, at least for a while.

The plot thickens with an E! news report that Swift's representative denied the event even happened. With their attendance confirmed and interaction reduced to being at the same general space at (almost) the same time, what's with the denial?

John actually arrived immediately after Taylor left, so the chances of a run-in were minimal. Still, there's reports the latter could have been informed of the "No Such Thing" singer's arrival and took it upon herself to leave and eliminate the possibility of his acquaintances.

The Chateau Marmont event was a near-miss by all accounts, and both are in the clear. For fans who have hopes of a Taylor Swift and John Mayer "recoupling," Taylor's new single "Shake It Off" sends a clear message, at least for the meantime (credits to vanityfair.com).
