Taylor Swift - Vanity Fair April 2013

Taylor Swift graces the cover of Vanity Fair‘s April 2013 issue.

Here is what the 23-year-old singer, who even authorized a friend to chat about her relationships on her behalf, had to share with the mag:

Taylor on her dating life: “If you want some big revelation, since 2010 I have dated exactly two people, [Harry Styles and Conor Kennedy].”

Taylor’s source on her Harry Styles relationship: “‘He wore her down,’ the source says of Styles, who allegedly ‘chased’ Swift for a year. ‘He was all, like, ‘You’re amazing—I want to be with you. I want to do this.’’ The relationship fell apart after he texted Swift to alert her of a picture on the Internet of him kissing a friend good-bye. They were ‘making out like with their hands all up in each other’s hair,’ says the source. After Swift ended the relationship, he pursued her for the better part of a year until she finally took him back. ‘But the whole time she says she feels like he’s looking at every girl,’ the source continues. And then when they were in London together he ‘disappears one night and after that it was like he just didn’t want to keep going.’”

Taylor’s source on her other boyfriends: “‘It was like a pendulum for her, swinging back and forth,’ the source says of Swift’s exes, with all of whom age has been a problem. Conor Kennedy, 17 at the time, was ‘just like a two-month thing,’ the source continues, and Swift ‘says he was awesome.’ The source says, ‘She dated Jake [Gyllenhaal] and John [Mayer] when she was really young and they were in their 30s, and she got really hurt. So it was like ‘That hurt—this won’t. But then it did.’’”

Taylor on the media’s portrayal of her: “For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that’s taking something that potentially should be celebrated—a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way—that’s taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist.”
