The Time Is Right

Taylor Swift graces the cover of the January issue of Cosmopolitan UK. The “Mean” singer talks to the magazine about love, relationships, public appearances, and more.

Highlights from the article can be found below and to see more on Taylor in the issue head to Cosmo UK. 

On love: “I don’t know. I think that idea of love I hope for is that you learn a lesson and you don’t have to learn it twice. But the song I Knew You Were Trouble is about when I knowingly made the same mistake twice.

I couldn’t resist it – there’s that temptation to push yourself into a risky situation with someone who is going to hurt you, and that’s what that song is about: not trusting your own instincts and ignoring all the red flags.”

On relationships: “How to make them last. I’ve never had a really long relationship, so I have no idea what that’s like. Wish me luck for the future!”

On public appearances: “Yeah, I have really nervous moments. I get overwhelmed and intimidated by the idea of putting on a performance on TV – and I get nervous before releasing a new album.”

Also, above you will find a behind the scenes video from Taylor’s ELLE Canada cover shoot. Both magazine are on newsstands now!
