Taylor Swift's Rolling Stone Cover and interview excerpt



Taylor Swift graces the cover of Rolling Stone's latest issue, where she gives a revealing interview on "falling hard" and having no rules when it comes to love, and of course, her highly scrutinized relationship with a Kennedy.

Taylor defends herself against the notion some have that she falls into serious relationships too quickly, arguing that you can't care about what everybody thinks in order to fall in love.
"The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks," she says. "It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. ...I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them."

But Taylor does reveal herself to have almost overly romantic tendencies when it comes to love.
"I love the ending of a movie where two people end up together. Preferably if there's rain and an airport or running or a confession of love," she says.

And then there's the decor of her Nashville condo.
"It's a whole Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland structure here. It's what the inside of my brain looks like, essentially."

But although she was involved in relatively short relationships with both John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal, according to Taylor, her relationships are always fully formed -- she doesn't "hook up."
"No," she says definitively. "Where's the romance? Where's the magic in that? I'm just not that girl."

On her latest relationship with 18-year-old Conor Kennedy, Taylor clearly reads the negative press surrounding them, though she tries not to. "How did I kidnap him?," she responds, referencing reports that she "kidnapped" him by flying him to Nashville. "You can't kidnap a grown man! These are serious accusations, now! It's an interesting way to spin something into a story. See, this is why I don't read stuff."

That statement is crap anyways because he is 18, not a grown man.
xtinkerbellax 11th-Oct-2012 07:16 pm (UTC)
Oh ITA, 18 may be a legal adult but many 18 year olds are child like in every other way lol.

vampireweekend 10th-Oct-2012 05:25 pm (UTC)
i refuse to believe this is nothing but a product of her trying to sell her innocent & love obsessed image

mcwicca 10th-Oct-2012 05:29 pm (UTC)
ikr what is this bullshit?
firstblush 10th-Oct-2012 05:29 pm (UTC)
seriously. i don't mind her. she seems nice. but i side-eyed that so hard.
distant_lines 10th-Oct-2012 05:42 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I don't think that's how the majority of stable, healthy relationships work.
preflyer 10th-Oct-2012 06:04 pm (UTC)
MTE, no no no no no no. unfortunately reminds me of a lot of the tweets Rihanna has been favoriting lately...
shukivengeance 10th-Oct-2012 06:08 pm (UTC)
Sounds immature and obsessive tbh

cerseilannister 10th-Oct-2012 06:49 pm (UTC)
mess. maybe you should think about it. but then i guess that's how she gets all these heartbroken songs.
boundarybreaks 10th-Oct-2012 06:57 pm (UTC)
do the opposite of everything taylor swift says, and your relationship will be successful tbh
the_pinkdress 10th-Oct-2012 08:25 pm (UTC)
not to sound... whatever... but like that's pretty fucked up to say when you have young fans, but w/e.

riri would agree i'm sure.
jennypage 10th-Oct-2012 10:16 pm (UTC)
This mentality produces so much drama. No wonder her relationships are always doomed from the start. Then again, she must hold fast to this philosophy because it has inspired her entire body of work.
in_styles 11th-Oct-2012 09:49 pm (UTC)
lmfao
autophanous 10th-Oct-2012 05:17 pm (UTC)
wow, that cover is absurdly skeevy and gross.
ms_mmelissa 10th-Oct-2012 05:20 pm (UTC)
It's Rolling Stone. Their covers are always skeevy and gross. :/
daddyissues 10th-Oct-2012 05:24 pm (UTC)
...why?
the_wolski 10th-Oct-2012 05:53 pm (UTC)
how? lol
nathanandbarry 10th-Oct-2012 06:36 pm (UTC)
It looks like some weird 70s photo found in a pedos basement. Or in Terry Richardson's basement. The graininess of it and how she looks like a kid trying to be sexy. ew.

this is so.. immature. It sounds like every 12 year old girl who just watched the Notebook.
theactualworst 10th-Oct-2012 05:20 pm (UTC)
IFKR?! That's how you end up in dysfunctional relationships. Christ.
zharia 10th-Oct-2012 05:27 pm (UTC)
It sounds like that's how you end up in an abusive and hurtful relationship! I didn't listen to any of my friends who disliked my relationship until he got drunk and ended up screaming insults at me because of my mental illness and hitting me in the face with a door and giving me a bloody nose. US AGAINST THE WORLD IS A BAD BAD THING.
nathanandbarry 10th-Oct-2012 06:37 pm (UTC)
That's how her music sounds.
boundarybreaks 10th-Oct-2012 06:58 pm (UTC)
us-against-the-world... She sounds like one of those people that wants a tragic, beautiful, touching love story like in the movies. damn
x_brittacular 10th-Oct-2012 07:34 pm (UTC)
my friend and her bf "fell in love" after 3 weeks and their one year anniversary is coming up. He's an unemployed alcoholic. She can do so much better.
watchyomouf 10th-Oct-2012 05:17 pm (UTC)
that pic makes it seem like her ass would be a pointy painful mess.

and her hand between her legs... dnw.

i may love to hate her, but lbh, when she is totally not sexy and when she tries for that look, it's nagl
ms_mmelissa 10th-Oct-2012 05:18 pm (UTC)
It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality.

Lord.
keziah42 10th-Oct-2012 05:22 pm (UTC)
It makes sense when the media/tabloids are talking about you all the time. Whether good or bad you have to ignore them and do what you want. I am confused as to why peoples don't understand this.
vanishingbee 10th-Oct-2012 05:52 pm (UTC)
The media is not the world. That sort of mentality includes us vs our friends an family, not just ~the papz.
expromqueen 10th-Oct-2012 05:55 pm (UTC)
ikr that's rihanna and chris brown's thing

astrologee 10th-Oct-2012 05:41 pm (UTC)
all of her interviews are "revealing". she seems like a sweet, naive girl imo. almost too naive.
mysticmaestoso 10th-Oct-2012 05:19 pm (UTC)
Her charade is so fake. That schtick only worked for her first album.
dirrtypony 10th-Oct-2012 05:19 pm (UTC)
It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard.

that right there is why her relationships never work out. thats a terrible mentality.
xx_pinkstar 10th-Oct-2012 05:25 pm (UTC)
omg Queen Hyobb looking fierce in your icon
theactualworst 10th-Oct-2012 05:19 pm (UTC)
Ooo her eyeliner is smudged and her hair is in her mouth. THE EDGE.
la_petite_singe 10th-Oct-2012 05:20 pm (UTC)
"How did I kidnap him?," she responds, referencing reports that she "kidnapped" him by flying him to Nashville. "You can't kidnap a grown man! These are serious accusations, now!

Ha, wow, I hadn't heard that, but it reminds me of that terrifying/hilarious documentary Tabloid.
callingstars 10th-Oct-2012 05:20 pm (UTC)
he's not even a grown man, what is she talking about.
ilovestarburst 10th-Oct-2012 05:23 pm (UTC)
Haha I totally thought of Tabloid too. So strange.
nattyx 10th-Oct-2012 05:20 pm (UTC)
