AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift is focusing herself on her music and is not really interested in meeting guys for now. The pop/country super star talks about her dating life in a new interview to promote her upcoming album "1989", suggesting that she hasn't dated anyone since splitting from Harry Styles last year.
"I feel like watching my dating life has become a bit of a national pastime. And I'm just not comfortable providing that kind of entertainment anymore," she tells Rolling Stone. "I don't like seeing slide shows of guys I've apparently dated. I don't like giving comedians the opportunity to make jokes about me at awards shows. I don't like it when headlines read 'Careful, Bro, She'll Write a Song About You,' because it trivializes my work."
"And most of all, I don't like how all these factors add up to build the pressure so high in a new relationship that it gets snuffed out before it even has a chance to start. And so I just don't date," she shares.
Saying that her upcoming set will be less "boycentric," Swift admits that it is not really possible for her to be in a relationship for now. "It's not like I've sworn off love," she says. "My life is just not conducive to bringing other people into it right now. I'm very childlike and romantic about lots of things, but I'm realistic about this."
In the interview, the 25-year-old singer says she gains more friends when being single. "When your number-one priority is getting a boyfriend, you're more inclined to see a beautiful girl and think, 'Oh, she's gonna get that hot guy I wish I was dating,' " says Swift who is close to Karlie Kloss and Lorde among others. "But when you're not boyfriend-shopping, you're able to step back and see other girls who are killing it and think, 'God, I want to be around her.' "
