Taylor Swift Covers Glamour Magazine

Posted by TractHerTrailHer on October 5th, 2012

Taylor Swift graces the cover of Glamour magazine for it November 2012 issue. In the issue she chats it up with Glamour about her new “Dear John” single, new relationship rumors, feeling misunderstood and hanging out with her gal pals Emma Stone and Selena Gomez.

For the photo spread, she posed in a real playful, fun girl next door role and got a little personal. Check out excerpts from the interview below:

On her most controversial songs:

“How presumptuous! I never disclose who my songs are about.” ”I think that song really hit home with a lot of girls who had been through toxic relationships and had found their way to the other side of it. I’ve never looked out while singing a song during a concert to see so many girls crying.”

On how she’s perceived:

“I think some people think it’s just apple pie and sunshine and sprinkles and ponies. Which is just funny. But I never feel the need to go out and make some grand statement that I’m dark and twisty and complicated, because I’m not that either. It’s just not as simple as ponies and rainbows, though I do love ponies and rainbows.”

On rumors of a possible relationship with Connor Kennedy:

” I don’t talk about my personal life in great detail. I write about it in my songs, and I feel like you can share enough about your life in your music to let people know what you’re going through.”

On her gal pals Emma & Selena:

“They are so important in my life right now. I’m the kind of girl who needs to tell her friends everything. I’ve developed this really close-knit group of girls. Two of my close friends are bandmates. My other close friends are Ashley, Claire, Diana, Emma [Stone], and Selena [Gomez]. I met Emma when I was 17, and I met Selena when I was 18. So they’ve experienced all of this with me, and they’ve also experienced their own amazing success, and somehow through all of it, we’ve stayed close.”

On people using her for fame:

“I think you can tell who’s a good person to be around, who makes you laugh, who’s fun, whom you can trust. And, yes, you’re going to get burned a few times, but I’d really rather get burned a few times than sit alone in that house with the curtains drawn. So God forbid this person you’re hanging out with gets a bit of validation out of the fact you’re famous. Is that the worst-case scenario? You know, it doesn’t seem that bad.”
