Taylor Swift Chats About Heartbreak And Fame In The New Issue Of Vogue

Taylor Swift graces the cover of Vogue's February issue, and the starlet chats about fame, boys and how she was never really the cool kid.
On her early years, Taylor jokes, "So ... middle school? Awkward. Having a hobby that’s different from everyone else’s? Awkward. Singing the national anthem on weekends instead of going to sleepovers? More awkward. Braces? Awkward. Gain a lot of weight before you hit the growth spurt? Awkward. Frizzy hair, don’t embrace the curls yet? Awkward. Try to straighten it? Awkward! So many phases!”
She continues, “I think who you are in school really sticks with you. I don’t ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It’s like, Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.” Taylor is incredibly humble, and she admits that she has fears, just like the rest of us. “This is what I’ve wanted to do my whole life,” she tells the mag. “It never freaks me out. Never. Ever. But you know what does freak me out? When is the other shoe going to drop? I am so happy right now. So I am always living in fear. This can’t be real, right? This can’t really be my life.”
So what about boys? “I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid,” she says. She's written songs about many of the Hollywood hunks she's dated (including Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal), but when asked about her current relationship status, she says, “I got nothing going on! I just don’t really feel like dating. I really have this great life right now, and I’m not sad and I’m not crying this Christmas, so I am really stoked about that.” When asked if she was crying last Christmas (following her split from Gyllenhaal), she said, “I am not gonna go into it! It’s a sad story!”
Will Taylor write about her last breakup on her next album? It certainly seems like it! "There's just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak," she says. "And that will turn out to be what the next album is about."
So what are Taylor's red flags when it comes to dating? Click thru to find out!
1. “If someone doesn’t seem to want to get to know me as a person but instead seems to have kind of bought into the whole idea of me and he approves of my Wikipedia page? And falls in love based on zero hours spent with me? That’s maybe something to be aware of. That will fade fast. You can’t be in love with a Google search.”
2. “If a dude is threatened by the fact that I need security, if they make me feel like I am some sort of princessy diva—that’s a bad sign. I don’t have security to make myself look cool, or like I have an entourage. I have security because there’s a file of stalkers who want to take me home and chain me to a pipe in their basement.”
3. “If you need to put me down a lot in order to level the playing field or something? If you are threatened by some part of what I do and want to cut me down to size in order to make it even? That won’t work either.”
4. “Also, I can’t deal with someone who’s obsessed with privacy. People kind of care if there are two famous people dating. But no one cares that much. If you care about privacy to the point where we need to dig a tunnel under this restaurant so that we can leave? I can’t do that.”
