Taylor Swift On Love, Heartache & Her Triple Platinum Life

Taylor Swift graces the April 2009 cover of Allure Magazine. Inside, the 19-year-old Fearless musician talks about love, heartache and her triple-platinum life. Along with the usual pictures from the magazine, we inserted a couple of them from the backstage, do enjoy them. Also, check full story for a couple of interview highlights.

On talking about sex: “It’s fine to talk about love publicly, but I think when you talk about virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture you naked. And as much as I can prevent people picturing me naked, I’m going to.”

On classic fairytale endings: “I have always been fascinated with fairy tales, and the idea that Prince Charming is just one castle away. And you’re gonna run across a field and meet each other in the middle, and have an amazing, perfect movie kiss. And it’s gonna be happily ever after.”

On writing that perfect break-up song: “For some reason, I could never, ever stop writing songs about heartbreak. Just because as human beings, what we can’t have is what we replay in our head over and over again before we go to sleep.”

Taylor Swift on Weight: “Basically, if I’m indulging too much and not exercising enough, I can feel that,” she says. “I can feel a change before I see it. For me, working out is not so I can stay skinny. It’s so that I can keep up my endurance so I’m not panting on stage. Heavy breathing is the worst when you’re in concert. You don’t want to see that, if you’re going to see a show.”

Taylor on Keeping Mum on Her V-Card: “It’s fine to talk about love publicly. But I think when you talk about virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture you naked. And as much as I can prevent people picturing me naked, I’m going to.”
