John Mayer really wants to join Fifth Harmony

Sure, it wouldn't be a girl group anymore. But he's got the experience.

Since Camila Cabello's dramatic departure from Fifth Harmony, there's been an empty space just waiting to be filled in the group.

John Mayer might be the perfect person for the job and with some tweets Tuesday night, he might have unwillingly planted the idea in folks' minds.

Last night, the guitarist and songwriter launched into a series of confusing, albeit hilarious, tweets battling with an unverified John Mayer account and experimenting with threads.

In the middle of it all, he hopped onto the #BeTheFifthChallenge, a hashtag from fans imagining who could replace Cabello. Essentially, he was arguing with himself about the brilliant girl group. Classic.

"Fifth Harmony is a talented group of young ladies," Mayer tweeted before declaring Lauren Jauregui would be the breakout star of the group and retweeting lyrics from "Voicemail."

The ladies of Fifth Harmony responded in the most perfect way—a Photoshopped image of Mayer in their latest press photo.

And naturally, Fifth Harmony fans had a lot to say about it.

Whether or not he was hacked, we gotta admit — Mayer as the Fifth Harmony wouldn't be too bad.
