Justin Bieber, who has been in the spotlight because of a bizarre paternity suit, made news for a different reason recently—an ugly Christmas sweater.

In December 2008, long before Kanye didn’t let her finish, Taylor Swift posed for a picture with her best friend Abigail, in which they wore Christmas sweaters. “Abigail’s back from college, so we’ve hung out a lot,” she wrote. “We decided we needed to get more in the holiday spirit so we bought festive Christmas sweaters. Like the kind that have reindeer and Santa all over them. Hers lit up. I was jealous.”



John Mayer appeared on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show wearing an ugly Christmas sweater and red corduroys. During a discussion of his dating life, Mayer said, “I have a good heart. I think I may have gotten lost a couple of times, but so does everybody.” He was certainly lost when he decided to put on that sweater.
