It all kicked off after John, 43, joined the popular social media platform by asking fans, "can someone tell me how to flip the camera?" before finally succeeding.

However, there weren't many happy commenters as some were quick to call out the singer for how things went down with him and Taylor.

One person wrote: "We will never forget what you did to our girl Taylor," while another added, "fun fact: Taylor isn't as old as you were when you guys dated."

The latter is a reference to lyrics from Taylor's 2010 song Dear John, which includes the lines, “don’t you think nineteen’s too young” and “you’re an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry.”
