Taylor Swift
“I’m sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I’m chasing somebody who doesn’t like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me,” says the singer.
تیز رو, سوئفٹ continues, “They’re like ‘Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys.’ I never chase boys. They don’t like it!”
The songstress does concede, however, that her relationships do provide excellent musical fodder — but to her, that’s nothing new.
“To me it’s just writing songs the way I always have. It’s me sitting on my بستر feeling pain I didn’t understand, writing a song, and understanding it better,” says Swift.
“If people want to dissect the lyrics, that’s their right,” she explains, “but it’s all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It’s just something I do to feel better.”
That need dates back to middle school for Swift, years that she says “programmed me be to be semi-insecure, like, all of the time.”
“I didn’t fit in,” she recalls, adding, “I’d stand on the outside of the دائرے, حلقہ but I was never really in. That’s when I started to realize there’s this thing called rejection.”
But thanks to music, تیز رو, سوئفٹ now has an outlet for her emotions.
“I don’t think I’ve ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend. Ever,” she says. “I’m not a yeller. I’m not a fit thrower. If something is done, it’s done.”
Swift’s full interview in Elle’s March issue hits newsstands on February 19.
