She may write less-than-flattering songs about her ex-boyfriends, but Taylor Swift wants everyone to know that she’s sick and tired of being portrayed as a “clingy and insane girlfriend.”
Over the past few years, Taylor has had a series of high-profile romances with stars like John Mayer, Taylor Lautner and Harry Styles and she’s renowned for spilling the beans on her exes in her songs. However, Taylor has spoken out and denied that she is “boy crazy.”
“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,” said Taylor, speaking in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.
Taylor also addressed rumours surrounding her private life. She flat-out denied dating a string of famous men, but she did confirm that she had a relationship with Conor Kennedy and Harry Styles.

“If you want some big revelation, since 2010 I have dated exactly two people,” said Taylor.
“The fact that there are slide shows of a dozen guys that I either hugged on a red carpet or met for lunch or wrote a song with, it’s just kind of ridiculous. It’s why I have to avoid the tabloid part of our culture, because they turn you into a fictional character,” she added.
Taylor also spoke about the brief romance she had with Conor Kennedy last year. While they were seeing each other, reports surfaced that Taylor wanted to buy a house near his family home in Cape Cod.
“People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like – that’s a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real estate market just to freak you out so you leave me,” said Taylor.
“One of these things I say to myself to calm myself down when I feel like it’s all too much… if there’s a pregnancy rumour, people will find out it’s not true when you wind up not being pregnant, like nine months from now, and if there’s a house rumour, they’ll find out it’s not true when you are actively not ever spotted at that house,” she added.
