Posts under ‘Taylor Swift’

It is almost as much fun to cover Taylor Swift’s love life as it is to cover Lindsay Lohan’s recidivism. Swift doesn’t seem to realise that it’s okay to just flirt, and you don’t have to date every guy you’re attracted to, and Lohan doesn’t seem to know that sober living would probably cut down on lawyers’ fees. Swift also doesn’t seem to realise that you cannot stalk your way into the heart of a guy who scares easily. In the case of Conor Kennedy, it was alleged that Swift purchased a home on the family compound even though she wasn’t really welcome. And in the case of Harry Styles, she’s flying to another continent and staying in a hotel near his home ostensibly to harass him into taking her back. But Swift says she’s not even that dedicated to stalking. The buck stops at intercontinental flights to achieve what heavy breathing down the phone cannot.

She says: ‘People say that I’m buying houses all the time that I’m not buying. It’s like… every time the press thinks I like a guy they say I am buying a house next to them.’ She continues: ‘I think in order to get to do what you love, which is this incredible positive thing, there are drawbacks. I had to stop reading any gossipy article written about me for the last two years because it would hurt my feelings that so much of it was not true. So what I had to kinda do was just realize that’s not me, that’s someone else, they’re writing about a character because none of those people know me. I think that’s the drawback, your privacy is completely gone, but I asked for it because I could be singing in a coffeehouse somewhere. But I asked to be at this level and there’s going to be a drawback to whatever path you take in life and I try to handle it as positively as I can.’

Yesterday, Taylor Swift seemed to concede that her serial monogamy had backfired and she needed some time alone. Except she’s been reading the Lance Armstrong Book of How To Be A Lying Liar because those were lies she told and she’s probably stalking Harry Styles right now. The One Direction singer is currently in London and Swift arrived in London earlier this week. A source claims she’s there for a confrontation after the couple split at New Year’s: ‘There’s talk of a meeting with Harry being on the cards. Harry has just got back from a small tour in Japan with the band and now has four days off. Out of all the hotels there are in London… Taylor has opted for one close to Harry’s house.’

Because even Taylor Swift cannot accurately recall the names of everyone Taylor Swift has dated, it’s finally dawned on her why her revolving door love life has become the butt of the joke. A source says it’s finally occurred to the singer why writing ‘It’s not you, it’s me’ in your dream journal in crayon doesn’t make it true when Us Weekly Magazine is using its front cover to call out your serial monogamy. The source explains: ‘At first Taylor just thought it was funny how much interest people had in her love life and she went along with it. But now she’s the butt of jokes on Saturday Night Live, in the tabloids, and on the late night shows. She laughed it off, but the jokes made about her at the Golden Globes got under her skin. The jokes being made about her love life embarrass her, but it’s finally hit home with Taylor. She really wants to make an effort to slow down and not jump from boyfriend to boyfriend.’ And Swift sort of confirms this in an interview with VIBE Magazine January 2013 in which she ponders what it’s like to be alone: ‘Independence is something I’ve always needed, from when I was young,’ says the singer. ‘But I love the idea of romance and falling in love. I’ve never really had a long relationship. So that’s something I think about for the future. It’s an interesting part of my personality. Part of me just wants to be alone.’ And she told Parade: ‘People think I want to get married really young . I don’t know why. I’m a romantic person, but that doesn’t mean I want to miss out on being in my young 20s. I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate.’

Yesterday, my eyes glazed over a story about how Taylor Swift and Harry Styles split because he ‘said something he shouldn’t have’ with no allusions as to what that may be. Except it turns out it was probably ‘Tits or GTFO’ because another source alleges today that Styles dumped Swift because she ‘was asexual and wouldn’t put out’ enough. The source explains: ‘Taylor is so concerned that the public will think she’s a whore, because she dates around, that she doesn’t put out. What she doesn’t get is that the guys keep dumping her because she’s being a prude.’ Another source expounds: ‘Harry found Taylor a little sexually uninterested. While it was clear she obviously had a thing for Harry, Taylor didn’t want to put out as often as he would’ve liked. Harry is a young boy, with ladies throwing themselves at him and has had a string of relationships with older women. It’s no secret he’s sexually active and is enjoying his fame at the moment. But Taylor just wasn’t up for it as much as he is. They were sexually incompatible.’ A friend of Swift’s says she doesn’t get why some people think she’s slutty: ‘Having a clean and wholesome reputation is super important to Taylor. She puts herself in these stupid situations but then honestly can’t understand why she’s getting such a shabby reputation. Harry wants to go out to fancy bars and clubs and enjoy being young. But Taylor’s more of a homebody and all she would talk about was antiques! It drove him crazy, so he gave her the elbow! Taylor was beyond obsessed with Harry and she was over the moon when he agreed to take their relationship public.’ Photos below of Swift’s counterfeit rack at the 2013 People’s Choice Awards.
