Carly Simon seemingly takes aim at ex James Taylor on new album as she sings 'Maybe I never loved you'

Carly Simon appears to take aim at her ex-husband James Taylor with a five-word bombshell: “Maybe I never loved you.”

The Grammy-winning singer seems to turn the wreckage of their decade-long marriage into a song on her new album, “Comes in Waves.”

“Maybe I never loved you / But anyway, I thought I did,” Simon sings on the album’s second track. “I married you, we had a kid / That counts for something.”

Her comments offer a rare glimpse into what the legendary singer has been experiencing privately while continuing to create music.

Her latest project, “Comes in Waves,” marks the end of an 18-year hiatus from releasing original music — and she’s looking squarely at the past while confronting the realities of the present.

Simon and Taylor were one of music’s ultimate power couples of the 1970s.

Their romance moved fast. Simon said she went to Taylor’s dressing room at New York’s Carnegie Hall in 1971 after seeing him perform.

“I have a wonderful history with Carnegie Hall,” she said previously in a Harper’s Bazaar interview. “I met James there that same year when I went to his dressing room to say hello, and he invited himself to my home for a late-night lunch that expanded into a life together.”

By the following year, they were married.

Their wedding took place on Nov. 3, 1972, in a small ceremony at Simon’s New York home.

But the marriage didn’t last.

The couple separated in 1981, and their divorce was finalized in 1983. They share two children, Sally Taylor and Ben Taylor.

Behind the scenes, their marriage was unraveling as Taylor struggled with drug addiction. Both Simon and Taylor have acknowledged infidelity during their marriage.

Simon later described their relationship in her 2015 memoir, “Boys in the Trees,” as “far from the idyllic one that the general public reads about.”

She had an even harsher description of their relationship.

“Our love became bipolar, switching from love to hate, lust to loathing, and back again, sometimes within a day,” Simon wrote.

Taylor has also acknowledged how deeply his addiction damaged his relationships.

“You could fall in love, but if one of the people is addicted, it’s not going to work,” he told Parade. “The whole person is simply not available.”
