John Mayer Denies Dissing Taylor Swift on Her Birthday

ABC/Randy HolmesNo, John Mayer was not throwing shade at Taylor Swift on her birthday yesterday…or so he says.

The singer prompted a flurry of “shade” accusations after he tweeted, “Tuesday, December 13 may be the lamest day of the year, conceptually.” Many took that as a dig at his alleged ex-girlfriend, Taylor, who turned 27 on that day.

John quickly denied his tweet was aimed at Taylor, writing, “NOPE. No. Nuh-uh. People I am 39. I am deleting those tweets. Come right at me for doing so. Absolutely no shade.” But then he deleted both of those tweets.

Today, he went on Twitter to re-post his denial tweet. “Looks like I shouldn’t have deleted this tweet…” he wrote.

Taylor and John reportedly dated briefly from November 2009 to February 2010. After they split, Taylor allegedly based her song “Dear John” on their fling. John also dated Taylor’s rival, Katy Perry.
