Every day I think about the possibility and fandom ramifications of a John Mayer and BTS collab.

Have they established any kind of private correspondence via one of their many, many mutual industry/beyond industry connections???

The collab may only serve a very exclusive segment of music fans (me and only me) but this is a crossover the world doesn’t know that it needs.

Anyways here are some interesting parallels between @JohnMayer and @BTS_twt that nobody has asked for —

1. John and Joon are both huge Visvimheads.

2. Both have extensive band experiences. John with the Grateful Dead in Dead & Company and BTS with obviously BTS.

3. Deadheads and ARMY.

4. Both BTS and Jerry Garcia, former leader of the Grateful Dead have inspired fervent ice cream discourse.

5. They all love sharing music and always try to lend some of their influence to elevate lesser known artists.

One shared example is Alec Benjamin. John discovered Alec very early on and invited him as the musical guest on his weekly Sunday Instagram Live show Current Mood. Jimin’s new Spotify playlist features five of Alec’s songs.

6. The #小確幸 philosophy that has guided and occupied both of their recent oeuvres.

I transcribed John’s IG Live closing statement on this subject. https://www.reddit.com/r/JohnMayer/comments/9kcn2h/john_mayer_ig_live_tonight/e6yaqp7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app">https://www.reddit.com/r/JohnMay...

John Mayer IG Live Tonight

I transcribed John's monologue after Stop This Train. >Didn't that feel good? Didn't that feel good after a week where your brain is exhausted?...

BTS with Halsey with John

10. Errolson Hugh started the Bottle Cap Challenge then Max Holloway followed and challenged @JohnMayer who cleared his attempt on June 29, 2019.

@BTS_twt followed!!!!!!!

The Golden Maknae cleared the challenge in one sweep.

#Taehyung delivered the most adorable performance.

And #JIMIN proved yet again our manggae is the cutest but also the most terrifying living carbohydrate on this planet.

11. #Taehyung jammed to John’s You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me.

12. Good Boys on late night CBS.

13. @BTS_twt performed their Ed Sheeran collab song Make It Right and @JohnMayer performed Don’t with Teddy himself on late night CBS.

14. The 94z and John’s shared love for Mickey and Minnie, and even more specifically as watch faces.

15. I can’t believe I’m not making this up but Johnkook both love doing their laundry and have a favorite laundry detergent.

16. Continuum was released on Namjoon’s 12th birthday on September 12, 2006.

17. The way @NICKIMINAJ immortalized this iconic John and Nicki interaction in her IDOL verse and John’s name was called out in Hangul (존 마이어) in the secondary music video. @JohnMayer @BTS_twt

But the point is the logo! John and BTS, we need answers.

John gifted these baby Visvims to Andy Cohen’s newborn son Benjamin Allen on his Instagram Live show Current Mood back in January of this year. Joon showed us his own pair when he gave us a tour of Rkive on Vlive in February.

Okay this is more of an addendum to point number 9 but I’m presenting it as a standalone because it’s written evidence

29. Jolene

John performed Jolene with Norah Jones and Keith Urban as a tribute to Dolly Parton in 2011 at the 53rd Grammys

Here’s @BTS_twt watching Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus perform Jolene eight years later at the 61st Grammys

31. Jungkook and @JohnMayer singing Imagine by @ArianaGrande @BTS_twt

An angel @BTS_twt

Apparently John “misunderstood” the Imagine celebrity video assignment and “submitted” a video of himself singing Imagine by Ariana and not Yoko Ono/John Lennon

33. I just made a VERY important discovery that Namjoon’s Persona robe is one of the only two that were ever made and the other one belongs to @JohnMayer. @BTS_twt https://twitter.com/ot7_esq/status/1225664473496608768?s=21">https://twitter.com/ot7_esq/s...

This is an extension of number 1 but it deserves its own tweet because 1 of 2 made!!!!!!!!!!!

34. John became interested in the guitar after watching Marty McFly play one in "Back to the Future." Namjoon and Yoongi became interested in hip-hop and rap after hearing Epik High’s Fly. #McFly #Fly

35. Penchant for big pocketed pants

36. Namjoon and @JohnMayer have both featured on Disney movie soundtracks! Namjoon released Fantastic in celebration of Fantastic 4 opening in Korea and John covered Chuck Berry’s Route 66 for Cars.
