Taylor Swift: I’m Not “Some Clingy, Insane, Desperate Girlfriend”

Taylor Swift knows what people say about her dating life, but the singer feels those perceptions of her are simply not accurate.

In the April issue of Vanity Fair, Swift tells the mag she’s not “some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend,” calling that idea of her “fictional.”

She says, “If you want some big revelation, since 2010 I have dated exactly two people,” referring to Conor Kennedy and Harry Styles.

Swift notes, “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,” explaining, “It’s why I have to avoid the tabloid part of our culture, because they turn you into a fictional character.”

Asked if she truly is boy crazy, as much of the public perceives her to be, the pop star responds, “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.”

Swift also seems to imply that she was none too happy about Tina Fey and Amy Poehler mocking her love life at the Golden Globes.

Asked about the comediennes’ joke, she says, “You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people, because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.’”

The “I Knew You Were Trouble” crooner went on to squash rumors that she’s constantly buying houses near the men she’s dating — although the singer did in fact purchase a Cape Cod home near Conor Kennedy’s family compound.

She says, “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.”

The issue hits newsstands mid-month.

    Not only do we have to listen to her drivel ad naseum on the radio/TV but we get to read it as well? Nice. I should quit clicking and reading these stories about her, but it’s rough because we all have to stop and look at the train wreck.

  • Write different music

    Granted she only has been with 2 people BUT she’s the woman who will write a new song about how a guy mistreated her or how she made a mistake. If your willing to put more time writing a song then fix your relationship you get a bad wrap. If she doesn’t like being attacked by her ex’s fans, then don’t write a song and tell another sob story. It just makes you look like your playing victim again.

    So Taylor, you’re saying that Tina Fey and Amy Pohler belong in hell because of a few jokes they made about you? Get over yourself already. You’re beyond annoying.

  • Jane

    Taylor if you do not like the image people have of you, change it. As for the ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.’” Really! Your image is why these things are being said about you. You say you have only dated two guys, you give the impression that you are a serial dater.

  • http://twitter.com/nirvanaman_1985 sam

    just 2 guys? Yeah right. John mayer 2009-2010, jake gyllenhal 2010 aswell, that’s 4.

  • nocountryforwho

    Awww, she was sad that she got made fun of? Taylor Swift is the whiniest person in Hollywood, I don’t care about her love life or her music. But I am tired of her making mountains out of mole hills.

  • cora

    I’m pretty sure this “image people have” of her was created by other people. For a site that debunks celebrity rumors, I see people’s comments on Taylor Swift to be more based on tabloid articles than fact or what she she says herself. I don’t think she needs to be accountable for stories people make up about her, but people are also too stubborn to change their minds.

  • Kyle4

    Taylor Swift is obsessively fixated on relationships and playing the victim. At first I thought it was a part of her act but it’s all she ever talks about in interviews and songs. She can’t even take a joke at her own expense, she’s like an uptight high-schooler stuck in a 23 year olds body. Alanis Morrisette and Fiona Apple ran circles around her before they even hit 20 and they didn’t need to use the guys they dated to do it.

  • Guest

    For someone that doesn’t like or pay attention to the tabloids she sure does know exactly what everyone is saying lol

  • Guest

    When you make you entire career about what this guy did to you and them this one, don’t be surprised when people assume you can’t hold down a relationship because of you not all the boys, write a song about hanging the works instead of boys.

  • anon

    she said SINCE 2010. idiot.

  • VeenaChandar

    actually, you don’t have to listen to her or watch her, there’s something called changing the station/channel. you also voluntarity chose to read an article about her, yet you’re portraying her to be in the wrong? wow, people nowadays. I have no hope.

  • Jojojet

    This is why I ain’t got time for Taylor Swift. She says that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are women who don’t help other women. Yeah that’s right just succeeding in a line of work run by men. Not only that but on shows featuring multiple strong female characters. The only female they had negative comments about were you. To say that they don’t help women shows how conceded you are. I don’t care if you have 100 boyfriends in the next 10 seconds, but the fact that you make yourself seem innocent in all these breakups annoys me.
    The fact that you say you wanna stay out of the tabloids but are constantly in them confuses me. Beyoncé one of the biggest pop stars around, if not THE biggest, says she wants to stay out of tabloids and she is hardly ever seen on tabloids. Why, because she doesn’t allow her bff to tell her friends to tell her personal business to reporters.

  • TSwizzle

    IDIOT. yeah since 2010… Gyllenhal, Kennedy and Styles.

    you can’t blame people for making assumptions on whose she dating, because it seems like every guy she hangs out with seems to turn into her exs after a couple of months of peculation.

  • vsdiva

    True! She has changed ALOT since her cutesy country days!

  • http://www.facebook.com/RTCastleberry R.T. Castleberry

    Oh leave the kid alone. She’s in her twenties. She should be dating around.

  • http://www.facebook.com/RTCastleberry R.T. Castleberry

    23 is barely out of high school. Cut her some freakin’ slack. Or write your own songs.

  • Kyle4

    23 is six years out of highschool, most people are finished University by then. That’s long enough.

  • Ray

    Gyllenhal ended in December 2010 so since 2010 she has had 2.
