I wonder who Carly Simon was singing about

Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” was released in the US on November 8th 1972
Was it Mick Jagger? Cat Stevens? Warren Beatty? Kris Kristofferson? Her ex-husband, James Taylor?

@PoetryNEmotion I've read that as well. Like, she finally said in an interview 20 years later it was about him.
