She said so herself. At the time that the song was written, James Taylor was not really in her life enough to warrant the attention, and Mick Jagger (the only other serious contender in the rumor competition) was ruled out when Carly Simon not only said that the song was not about Mick, but asked him to sing backup on it (he did).
