The ‘1989’ singer is radiant and glowing for Cosmopolitan UK and it’s not because of a new man in her life. "I used to be fascinated by romance," Taylor Swift says. "Now I'm more realistic."
In Cosmopolitan UK’s December issue, Swift said, “People will say, let me set you up with someone, and I'm just sitting there saying, ‘That's not what I'm doing. I'm not lonely; I'm not looking.'...They just don't get it," the blonde beauty continued.
"I've learnt that just because someone is cute and wants to date you, that's not a reason to sacrifice your independence and allow everyone to say whatever they want about you. I'm not doing that anymore."
Swift was known for dating famous celebrities such as John Mayer, Taylor Lautner and Harry Styles. She also told the magazine that she does not want to add anymore names on the ‘Ex’ list as of now.
"My girlfriends and I talk a lot about feminism and the inequality between the way men and women are talked about," Swift told the Cosmo UK, "The kind of things we say are, ‘Why is it mischievous, fun and sexy if a guy has a string of lovers that he's cast aside; loved and left? Yet if a woman dates three or four people in an eight-year period she is a serial dater and it gives some 12-year-old the idea to call her a ‘slut' on the internet?' It's not the same for boys, it just isn't and that's a fact."
She added: "It'd take someone really special for me to undergo the circumstances I have to go through to experience a date. I don't know how I would ever have another person in my world trying to have a relationship with me, or a family. The best answer I can come up with now is ‘go at it alone.' Life can be romantic without having a romance. I'm very attracted to how happy I am now."
Last week, she told E! News, "I found a place in my life that feels really great and I'm not willing to compromise that for just anyone, and so, you can paraphrase that all you want into something very extreme, but they make what I say extreme no matter what I say...So I'm really happy about the fact that being single doesn't feel like being alone. I have love in my life, I just don't have a relationship, and that feels really natural right now."
