Taylor Swift: "I don't want to marry young. I'm enjoying my 20s."

Taylor Swift doesn't expect to settle down anytime soon. In a recent interview with Parade, she revealed: “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.”

Despite writing about it so prolifically, Swift claims not to know much about love. “I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate,” she said. How many times has she been in love? “I know how many people I’ve said ‘I love you’ to. I could probably count it up, but I don’t feel like it. If I end up getting married and having kids, that’s when I’ll know it’s real—because it lasted.”

Swift is currently linked to One Direction singer Harry Styles. After a brief fling in April, the couple reconnected at the VMA Awards in September. There was "some serious flirting going on" between the pair at London's Teen Awards on October 7, according to BBC Radio One DJ Aled Jones. They arranged to have an intimate dinner at the upmarket Luton Hoo Hotel later that evening, but the reservation was cancelled after word of the booking was leaked to The Sun newspaper.

They were "holding hands and flirting all day" at the X Factor television studio in Los Angeles on November 14, as confirmed by the show's host Mario Lopez. Styles sat with Swift's mother during her rehearsal and sang along. "After she finished, he went up to the stage. They were joking and laughing. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and carried her off."

Styles has named Swift as one of his celebrity crushes, telling the October issue of Seventeen: "She honestly couldn't be a sweeter person. She's genuinely nice and extremely talented, and she deserves everything she has."

In November, Styles told Cosmopolitan that he was currently dating someone: "There's someone I like. If you're shown in the papers with other girls when you really like someone else, that's difficult. But still, I think it's important if you're thinking about starting a relationship to do it away from the spotlight. I thought I [had a type] but this girl I like isn't my 'type'. It's more about the person. How they act, their body language, if they can laugh at themselves. I find ambition really attractive too - if someone's good at something they love doing. I want someone who is driven."

meh on taylor

i'm so indecisive about marriage i don't know. part of me really wants to do it but another part is like is this what you really want or is it because you were brought up being told it's the thing to do with your life. though i do like the idea of wearing a dress and feeling like a princess for the day because i'm an embarrassment to life.
likegunfire 30th-Nov-2012 06:35 am (UTC)
you can have the ceremony without making it official & signing the papers or whatever imo <3
vampireweekend 30th-Nov-2012 06:36 am (UTC)
as long as u design the dress imo vera
kurtvonnegut 30th-Nov-2012 06:40 am (UTC)
i hate this marriage culture where women concentrate on the perfect marriage and skip step 1 aka perfect relationship. it has to come organically, u know? like i can't even say whether or not i'll ever get married bc i have to find a person who stirs that in me first.
clarelove 30th-Nov-2012 06:34 am (UTC)
She irrationally irritates the fuck out of me.

I'm a big, ol' disappointment to my Lebanese parents because I'm not married. Oop.
cruel11 30th-Nov-2012 06:46 am (UTC)
My Armenian family can't shut up about marriage and im just 21.

iamsam4eva 30th-Nov-2012 01:26 pm (UTC)
I'm Iranian and 30 - having a graduate degree and a cat, but no ring and no kids = failure. my parents went through an awful divorce after 25 years of marriage and i get serious vibes from my mom that she wants me to settle for anyone - craziness! also, i hate dating. hate it!

i'm never getting married. partly bc i don't want to but also bc idk if i'll ever be in a relationship :(
juggarnut 30th-Nov-2012 06:37 am (UTC)
if Taylor's engaged, hell would go shitbrick because people would anticipate a post-engagement breakup album.



OT: ive had a long day today. left work early to accompany my brother to the hospital. hospital couldn't see my brother after a 6 hour wait because the ER was flooded. my brother left the hospital pissed off at everyone and was on the verge of attacking me. i need a damn drink!

i have made a life long commitment to my dog
i don't have time for no man right now
galagooo 30th-Nov-2012 06:40 am (UTC)
I'm guessing I'm going to be single for the next 4 years at least, when I'll be in my late 20s. Small class, not really any prospects, no time to meet people outside of school.
redaodai 30th-Nov-2012 06:41 am (UTC)
One day they'll recognize our love.

hershelwalker 30th-Nov-2012 06:41 am (UTC)
like most of ontd, I don't want to get married in my 20s either. shit, I don't even want a bf who's around all the time. like...watch a movie with me, fuck me, then leave me alone until I want to see you again.
blahhhnata17 30th-Nov-2012 06:44 am (UTC)
mte! i like my alone time.
caribou_cake 30th-Nov-2012 06:46 am (UTC)
ugh mte. i dread ever getting a bf because of the clingyness. i dont need someone hanging around all the time or trying to talk to me all the time. i need to be alone like 95% of the time
hershelwalker 30th-Nov-2012 06:48 am (UTC)
same! I'm an introvert so I just get tired af when I'm around people for too long. and one of my biggest fears when it comes to relationships is getting bored with the other person/them getting bored with me. I honestly don't understand how most couples spend so much time together, it seems like a nightmare to me.
cab 30th-Nov-2012 07:06 am (UTC)
don't sweat it my sister has been with her boyfriend for almost a year now and they aren't clingy at all! she doesn't even live with him she lives on her own and it worked out pretty good.
cerseilannister 30th-Nov-2012 09:29 am (UTC)
lol just ignore them. that's what i did.
fakevoices 30th-Nov-2012 06:47 am (UTC)
ia about the alone time
x_brittacular 30th-Nov-2012 06:54 am (UTC)
that's basically my idea of a relationship minus the sex. I want a cute guy to cuddle with who won't nag me about shaving and putting out, and will put up with my cat hoarding. brb dying alone.
judgmental 30th-Nov-2012 07:35 am (UTC)
I know this couple that have been dating for five years and... they are together EVERY FUCKING DAY. They don't do a single thing without each other, it's sickening.

I am NOT joking, if she wants to have a girls night she brings her bf and viceversa.
venus_orbiting 30th-Nov-2012 08:03 am (UTC)
SERIOUSLY. Like, people think Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton are ~sooooo weird~ for having separate houses, but that shit sounds like a dream to me.
blenderhead 30th-Nov-2012 02:01 pm (UTC)
lol I'm the same way.

Every time they mention Harry and Taylor in the same sentence, I think about him supposedly throwing her over his shoulder.
It's hilarious!
cruel11 30th-Nov-2012 06:57 am (UTC)
Me too, since it's usually Harry that's always getting carried around.

I'm so sick and tired of all of my friends calling me picky. Fuck i don't want to settle ya know? I'm just not in the mood right now, i'm so stressed about school i don't want to deal with guys right now but they don't fucking get that.
spurtle 30th-Nov-2012 06:45 am (UTC)
Haha they say that to me all the time too. I settled for my first two relationships bc of my low self esteem, and now I'm just like, he has to be perfect to get my attention at this point bc I'm so busy with everything else.
deathbytamarind 30th-Nov-2012 06:51 am (UTC)
It's good to be picky about the person you'll be in a relationship with, especially if you're gonna be with that person forever. You also need to figure yourself out before you add another person to the equation. I feel most people miss that point.
x_brittacular 30th-Nov-2012 06:55 am (UTC)
my best friend basically told me to lower my expectations because "no guy is perfect". have fun dating an uneducated bum, sis.
ladyofthejungle 30th-Nov-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)
That's what my friends have told me. Ugh. I'm not expecting perfection but yes I have standards.
kurtvonnegut 30th-Nov-2012 07:10 am (UTC)
all i can think about with serial monogamists is that they must have low standards because idg how you just HAPPEN to find a guy/girl who is made for you a week after you break up.
venus_orbiting 30th-Nov-2012 08:05 am (UTC)
I would rather be picky and die alone because I never found someone who would truly make me happy than settle for someone I wasn't really into just for the sake of ~not being alone~. Fuck that noise.
hoot 30th-Nov-2012 01:29 pm (UTC)
People SHOULD be picky with the people they date. I think the majority of relationship problems come from people not being picky enough, tbh.

I've dated 4 different guys in my life (like, in total) and only had 1 serious relationship, the one I'm in now. I'm picky as hell and that worked out in my favor.
dumpweeds 30th-Nov-2012 06:43 am (UTC)
I don't really want to get married ever. if I do it will be non-religious and my parents will be PISSED.

and I don't want him to propose to me. I want us to come to a mutual agreement instead of him ~popping the question~

I just find the thought of lifelong partners more romantic than getting married
spurtle 30th-Nov-2012 06:47 am (UTC)
i can't help but want to be so surprised i almost pee myself when he proposes i love surprises so much

i'd like him to like know i'd say yes but still do it in a cheesy/horrible way
caribou_cake 30th-Nov-2012 06:44 am (UTC)
ugh marriage. ide want to get married or have kids ever, but being the baby at work (i'm 23) everyone is expecting me to marry and have kids soon so they can be invited to/plan the wedding/baby showers/kid's birthdays. on top of that they judge me any time i rme at cheesy baby/marriage stuff
fwee_prower 30th-Nov-2012 06:44 am (UTC)
blah i'm not getting married. i'll never be someone's husband.

but I will fuck one.
