(WIDK By Kyle Turner)- Katy Perry’s love life has been a topic of conversation for some time now.

The Part of Me singer divorced actor Russell Brand in 2011 and has dated fellow singer John Mayer on-and-off for several months following the split.

In the July issue of Vogue, Perry, 28, was very candid with interviewers about her past relationships. Nearly a year after finalizing her divorce with Brand, she told the mag:

“He’s a very smart man, I was in love with him when I married him. Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me on December 31, 2011.”

Katy went further to say Brand was “controlling” and “hurtful;” according to Katy, he couldn’t stand her “being his equal.” But she doesn’t blame all the divorce drama on Brand; she stated “I have to claim my own responsibility in things. I do admit that I was on the road a lot.”

After discussing the demise of her 14-month marriage to Brand, the topic switched over to John Mayer, 35, whom she is currently linked to; Perry denied hooking up with Mayer for revenge against her ex.

“No not at all,” she said “I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him.

Perry added:  ”All I can say about that relationship is that he’s got a beautiful mind. Beautiful mind, tortured soul, I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds.”

Perry’s full interview with VOGUE will be available on June 25.
