Taylor Swift: “I can never decide if I want love or my own space”



In an interview with VIBE’s January issue, Taylor Swift opened up about her love life.

“Independence is something I’ve always needed, from when I was young," she says, "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 .... Sagittarians are really independent, and we like our space. We’re drawn to love but battle for that need for independence."

In another 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."

Taylor Swift invites sick fan to lunch in Nashville



Taylor Swift had lunch with Kayla Kincannon, a sick fan from Madison Heights, Michigan, on Saturday (19 January) in her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.

Swift's mother Andrea phoned Kayla and arranged for Swift's tour bus to transport the teenager, who was staying elsewhere in Tennessee, to lunch.

The teenager recently celebrated her 17th birthday in the midst of a battle against brain cancer. She had been undergoing chemotherapy and it appeared to be working. However, Kayla recently learned she has another, larger brain tumor which developed during her treatment. 

Her family and friends launched a social media campaign, OperationGetKaylaToMeetTaylorSwift, in December

Taylor Swift donates 2,000 books to hospital's early literacy program



Taylor Swift is giving something back to the hospital where she was born.

Swift, a native of Wyomissing, Berks Co., and Scholastic Inc., have donated 2,000 books to the Reading Hospital's Child Health Center's early literacy program.

She made the donation through the national Reach Out and Read initiative, which promotes early childhood literacy by bringing new books and information about the importance of reading aloud into the pediatric exam room, officials said.

The Reading Hospital's Child Health Center gives each child between the ages of six months to five years a new, developmentally and culturally appropriate book to take home from their visit, officials said. Over time, children can receive up to 10 books for their home library.

Swift has promoted the importance of literacy and education throughout her career. Collapse )

“I can never decide if I want love or my own space”

ugly_jacket 21st-Jan-2013 08:13 pm (UTC)
you can
la_nostalgia 21st-Jan-2013 08:28 pm (UTC)
It irritates me when people think you can't. It depends on how you develop and work on your relationship
vivisexion 21st-Jan-2013 08:35 pm (UTC)
true, that!
x_brittacular 21st-Jan-2013 09:13 pm (UTC)
I'd rather just be alone tbh.
chilli_cheese 22nd-Jan-2013 01:08 am (UTC)
You'd be surprised by how many people believe this.

i dont care for zodiac stuff but that really applies to me
iantoj 21st-Jan-2013 08:05 pm (UTC)
Something about her just makes me want to scream "SHUT UP" every time I see her.
nick_halden 21st-Jan-2013 08:11 pm (UTC)
That's sad about thats girl's tumor, but really great of Taylor to do that. I hope everything goes well for her. I can't even imagine.

overprotected 21st-Jan-2013 09:13 pm (UTC)
i feel like those people are either a) really in the clouds [which is fine, have fun up there!] or b) really don't HAVE much of a personality and use the astrology stuff to make them seem interesting / give them something to base theirs off of
in_styles 22nd-Jan-2013 08:14 am (UTC)
Maybe they find it fun? Stop being so uptight.
gagita 21st-Jan-2013 09:33 pm (UTC)
people who use tina fey as their icon...idk just a pet peeve of mine
jessepinkman 21st-Jan-2013 08:13 pm (UTC)
RME you can have bolth.
heyx_lyla 21st-Jan-2013 08:15 pm (UTC)
Good for her for donating all of those books and for making Kayla's wish come true!
spiffynamehere 21st-Jan-2013 08:20 pm (UTC)
Aw, sweet!
itspokerface 21st-Jan-2013 08:20 pm (UTC)
Both tbh
yurasama_love 21st-Jan-2013 08:24 pm (UTC)
I can't hate on someone who donates books, so I'm going to just ignore her now.
Unless someone starts dragging MJF over her, then I'm going to be very displeased.
laceandskin 21st-Jan-2013 08:25 pm (UTC)
I'm like the opposite of Taylor Swift. The idea of being in a relationship terrifies me. If I have a crush on a guy and he starts to show signs of returning my feelings I start freaking out and end up pushing him away.
yurasama_love 21st-Jan-2013 08:32 pm (UTC)
Hello me!
x_brittacular 21st-Jan-2013 09:14 pm (UTC)
same. I actually get annoyed like "Excuse you, I like being single and alone just fine, kthanx!"
laceandskin 21st-Jan-2013 10:17 pm (UTC)
Sometimes I think being in a relationship would be good but then I remember that I would have to commit to one person and I don't want that.
gagita 21st-Jan-2013 09:33 pm (UTC)
csb
deathbytamarind 21st-Jan-2013 11:44 pm (UTC)
I went through that in the first six months of my relationship with my current BF. Bless his heart that he stuck around. I had a lot of issues with commitment and being emotionally vulnerable with another person. I still have some of those issues, but I ironed them out.
punkylana 23rd-Jan-2013 01:48 am (UTC)
same
la_nostalgia 21st-Jan-2013 08:26 pm (UTC)
You can have love/relationships and your own space/freedom at the same time. You just have to make that kind of relationship.
aubade_saudade 21st-Jan-2013 08:31 pm (UTC)
she should hang by herself for a while if she thinks having yr own space is impossible if yr in a relationship
