John Mayer Claims His Hiatus Had NOTHING To Do With Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift was NOT the reason John Mayer went into hiding for two years…
…at least that’s what he claims.
Suspiciously just following the release of Taylor Swift’s telltale song Dear John, John flew the Hollywood coop for rural, quiet Montana, but the Daughters singer says he didn’t move to avoid the scrutiny.
Instead, John explains:

├óΓé¼┼ôI don’t know that I thought of it as a Band-Aid for anything. I just saw it as a protectant from future things. I wasn’t running away, because I would have happily gone back on tour.├óΓé¼┬¥

Riiiiiiighhhttt.
Well, either way it doesn’t matter much now!!
Taylor is going through a WHOLE NEW heartbreak and you and Katy Perry are writing your own intriguing love story.
Let’s let the past stay in the past!
