Taylor Swift can’t get a boyfriend because of paparazzi, says Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is known for garnering attention based on her love life. However, in the latest issue of Vogue UK, Taylor’s not making headlines for who she’s dating but rather the reason she can’t seem to find a date.

The 24-year-old Grammy award winning superstar claims the constant paparazzi attention makes it impossible to get a guy.

Dating or finding someone is the last thing on my mind, because I can’t picture how it could work with the way my life is. I don’t know how a guy is supposed to walk next to his girlfriend when there are 20 men with cameras, and he can’t protect his girlfriend because that’s the life she chose. I just don’t see how it could work, so I don’t think about it, and I kind of run from it when it presents itself. ‘Cause I don’t think any guy really… They think that they would want to get to know me, and maybe date me, but I don’t think they want what comes with it.

In the article, Taylor also discusses the transition from her Nashville roots to mainstream pop, “You know, I don’t want to hurt people’s feelings, I don’t want to betray Nashville, whatever, but essentially it comes down to challenging yourself as an artist.”

When “Shake It Off”, the first single from Taylor’s new album was released, she came under harsh criticism for no longer identifying herself as a country artist. Many in Nashville weren’t pleased, and some critics felt betrayed and disappointed Taylor would turn her back on the city that made her famous.

In addition to changing her style on this album, Taylor also changed the target of her song writing from old boyfriends to old BFFs in the song “Bad Blood“. Although the full lyrics have yet to be released, many have concluded the song is about Katy Perry. According to Taylor, “She did something so horrible. I was like, ‘Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies.’”

1989 hasn’t even been released yet but the album is the talk of the town. Perhaps Taylor’s PR team needs a raise!

The November issue of Vogue UK hits newsstands on October 6.

Taylor Swift’s album 1989 is scheduled for release on Oct. 27.
