Taylor Swift covers the new issue of Wonderland and I am loathing most of the photoshoot. I don’t know who shot the thing, but it feels like the person studied at The School of Uncle Terry’s P0rn Lighting. There’s one shot which I kind of liked – the one where she’s seated and wearing Elton John glasses and it looks straight out of a Harper’s Bazaar circa 1969. I guess I also have to give props to whoever decided to force Tay-Tay to forgo her beloved red lipstick too. Huzzah! She looks so much better without the red. As for the interview… sigh….
On relationships: “Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.”
On what her future holds: “I have no idea if I’m going to get married or be single forever or have a family or just be on my own. You know, paint in a cottage by the ocean by myself. I’ve kind of realized that I have no idea where I’m going to be next year, or in six months, or in two months. I mean, I know where I’ll be on tour in two months, but no idea where I’m going to be mentally, emotionally, dreams, goals, wishes, hopes. I just have no idea and I’m kind of into that. You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that’s great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future.”
On having her heart broken: “You’re never feeling just sad. Maybe you wake up and you feel sad, and then you get angry, and then you feel like “I’m fine.” And then you feel confident, and then you feel a sense of doubt, and then you’re insecure, and then there’s jealousy, and then you’re back to sad – and then you feel fine again.’
And then you feel sad. And then you feel hungry. And then you feel boy-crazy. And then you feel like calling your publicist and leaking something damaging about your ex to Us Weekly. And then you feel sad. And then you feel like “Hey, I’m going to put on some red lipstick!” Yes, this is how Tay-Tay thinks.
I’m trying really hard not to nit-pick Taylor’s statement about not planning her future. I believe more young women should plan for their future, plan for home ownership, financial independence, plan for the children they want to have (if they want to have kids). Yes, when you’re 22 or 23 years old, you don’t have to have everything figured out and that is exactly the time when you should be making mistakes and learning life lessons, but for Taylor Swift, it feels more like, “I’m not going to form any opinions or make any plans until I get a husband and he tells me what my future is going to be!”

Can celebrities do us a favour and stop making that stupid wanna-be-like-heart sign all the time? It’s like they’re 5 and haven’t developed adult communication skills yet. It’s-so-stupid!
I call it “invisible hamburger hands”.
Perfect! Lol
Why is her goddamn mouth open in every picture!! Ughhh!
She is incapable of breathing from her nose. Drives me nuts!
I’m sure she gets asked these stupid questions but its so exhausting reading about her thoughts on relationships. Does she not think about other things? I can’t imagine being her friend and hearing her philosophy on love 24/7. I need space from her!
She’s like a frickin guppy.
That’s what me and my best friend call Kristen Stewart!
She’s trying to eat her invisible hamburger!
Is it me or does her “traffic light theory” make no sense? She can only exist in the relationship if it’s a green light. Huh?
It sort of seems like she isn’t willing to compromise or work around problems.
“If everything isn’t perfect, shiny and sparkly and just the way I like it, then I just *can’t* be in a relationship! Now, excuse me whilst I retire to my pink, four-poster bed and revive myself with a pitcher of lavender lemonade.”
She made $57 million last year. She’s 22 and gorgeous. Why should she settle, ever?
Perhaps she can only be in a relationship that is going somewhere, that has forward momentum, that is moving toward something and not stopped dead?
That’s what I thought she meant too; like if it’s going somewhere. And maybe for her if there is a red flag, that equates a red light? Who knows.
@Amelia & @Tessa: Thanks, guys. That makes sense. I mean, your explanations do. Ahem.
these pictures are …not her best. the hair is killing me, followed by that skin tone and then those poses and clothes.
as for Taylor’s interview: ahahaha, she is still such a funny girl. i wonder if she’s doing this shtick now to stay relevant or because she’s done it so long she’s starting to believe it too? how scary.
maybe she’s just still upset about being shut out at the ACMs. 5 noms, 0 wins, which is honestly unusual for her.
I almost didn’t recognize her here. She looks washed out. She has pupil-less eyes too.
inane[ ih-neyn ]
adjective
1. lacking sense, significance, or ideas; silly: inane questions.
What is with the unattractive expression?
Photographer: “Do me a favor, doll. Make the stupidest face you can and DO. NOT. CHANGE. IT! For the remainder of the shoot.”
People say this girl sounds smart? Not to me. Sure, her relationships are certainly traffic lights that she loves to love and then to use for publicity.
And yes, person can always plan future. And always change plans too. Going aimless is pointless.
Oh well.
Oh lord shut-up already!
As a struggling 24 and a half year old, I say heck if this girl has had nothing but failed relationships. Haven’t we all?! Her love life is nothing extraordinary for her age, most men are douches, and at least she’s managed to spin a glorious money making famous career out of it. All that the rest of us have are scarred bleeding hearts!
I’m with you! I’m 26 and have friends from 30 down to 22 and Taylor’s relationship history is not remarkable. I don’t know why people feel the need to act like she’s either: 1) a man eater or 2) a future crazy cat lady.
Also, I think her planning comment makes sense. She isn’t saying not to have goals, she’s saying don’t be surprised when those goals change.
I don’t think it has anything to do with the quantity of relationships, but rather with how quickly she dives and commits in them, even if they’re only a few months. Remember that Kennedy kid who was dating her and she went and bought estate across his house? THAT’S the problem.
Into portraying herself as an enduring, endearing optimistic fragile female failure in love.. personality.. Revealing real life dramas which is considered her enhanced artistic specialty to this image she imagines is her, like you .. a geek not in tune with the fast paced, cheating, lying user.. abusive modern world of romance.. A proper lady inspiration with poetic gifts can write the special, I lived and felt this.. like you’ lyrics.. in her distinctive, passive but earnestly struggling to get clarity, find a nice fellow style.. A compare us note similarities and differences message which always appeals to ‘life sucks, but I will try again to find my Mister Right to love She proves conflicts and disappointments with finding a mate are natural effects of the human experience, but for certain personality types life’s little setbacks can trigger explosive emotional outbursts and other irrational, embarrassing behaviors that scare her so terribly.’ She doesn’t want to disappoint her friends, and she pleads for support and love.. she may grow old and never marry, have a family, sniff true love.. and demands to know why she is on the hot seat of disapproval.. scapegoat of mean-spirited gossip, comic bullying, her fragile soul and spirit is heaped with guilt and she blames herself for being too picky now.. for just dating some guys she thought were interesting ..and of course she worry’s her ardent fans, which found this distant-brooding innocent tossed into dating hell artistic style once amusing are growing impatient, moving on.. Don’t be yourself in charge and secretly micro-manage all your publicity to get a great deal of attention is the real key element making her a lot money.. is now getting stale.. loop..
wow its amazing that Adele is one year older than her, but the differences between them are astonishing.
I AM STUNNED. Thank you for pointing that out. Adele is a real woman with passion and soul. I don’t know what Swifty is but these pictures make her look like a 12 year old mouth breather.
I know. Adele looks so much older.
She reminds me (in the photos) of Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous
“….for Taylor Swift, it feels more like, “I’m not going to form any opinions or make any plans until I get a husband and he tells me what my future is going to be!” ”
ITA with this assessment. With Connor Kennedy, he prob would have pushed her for 5+ kids. Everyone in that family has a ton of kids (I dont know if they believe in birth control; they are super-Catholic). Then if she had stuck it out with JOhn Mayer (yeah right lol) I cant imagine him wanting even one kid…but I could TOTALLY see her agreeing with whatever the guy wants her to do. She seems like such a push over for whoever she is dating.
I agree completely with this. She’s like the female Brad Pitt, always looking and acting like whoever she’s dating. The whole not making plans thing is completely idiotic. I have plenty of single friends who are actively planning out their life, starting their careers, buying their own homes/condos, and aren’t waiting to find “the one” for their life to begin.
She’s so boring
Ha ha….I completely agree! This is how she communicates to all of her tween fans.
Whoops,my comment was directed to missespresso’s comment #1,regarding her heart symbol.
Well, at least we both agree that vision boards are stupid. That’s really all I got out of this.
I love her but she looks like a plain 12 year old here.
I agree Mew she’s not smart at all, watch her in some interviews in England where they are less worshipful of her schtick; SHout out to tulip for the Abfab reference but those women were snarky drinking smoking foul mouthed Brits, not this wilting flower;
As someone else pointed out, she really needs to shut her mouth because she’s starting to believe the image created to sell her crap is real. She’s losing touch with reality.
Ugh, enough with the blow-up doll face, and that expression that says, No, I DON’T have more than three neurons under these bangs. You’re not that stupid, or that innocent, or young. Or maybe she’s shilling to the all-mighty powerful 8 to 12 demographic, and I’m the one out of place.
She doesn’t look squinty at all without eyeliner. Her and Waity Katy should cold turkey give up eyeliner.
I know – I was just going to say that she’s actually opened her eyes here and doesn’t look squinty!
Yeah, that’s just what I need from Taylor Swift; advice on relationships. She always seems sort of stupid to me.
“I believe more young women should plan for their future, plan for home ownership, financial independence, plan for the children they want to have (if they want to have kids).”
Well…She has the first 2 accomplished already. She owns multiple homes, and it can’t be argued that she isn’t financially independent. I see nothing wrong with a 22 year old not thinking about children. At 22, I knew that I wanted them…someday. In the very far future. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your youth while you still have it and then having a family later. By all means, she is far more successful and accomplished than 99.9% of 22 year olds EVERYWHERE.
Why so much hate for her? Like her or not she’s never rude and always seems to be professional. At least she’s better role model for teenagers compare to Rihanna or heck, miley Cyrus. Yes there are probably much more better singer out there than her, but lots of her fans adore her and she keeps the image and at least she’s not smoking something or having piercing or tattoo n post it on twit for her fans to follow or stumble drunk in the pavement. I know her love life was unfortunate n she seems unable to take a joke but she’s 23 and I been in her situation before n trust me I had much more breakups than she ever did in her life when I was her age. The different is that I’m not famous, I’m not gifted in music but I’m lucky enough not to have my whole relationship became public and being the subject of ridicule or hate.
I don’t listen to her music but I follow her gossips and other celebs too, I am married and I found her extremely gorgeous n talented. And if I have daughter trust me I prefer her to idolise Taylor Swift than the likes.
