Red songstress Taylor Swift opens up about her love life in the newest issue of British Cosmopolitan, where she appears on the cover of the magazine.

Taylor, who has been linked to several big stars when it comes to dating, admitted that she’s not the best at maintaining relationships. When asked what she doesn’t know about dating, Taylor admitted it was “How to make them last.”

“I really don’t have any rules about dating when it comes to height, age, career choice, anything like that,” Taylor explained. “It’s really more about strength of character. When it comes to age, I’ve been all over the map.”

Taylor explained that some of the things she has learned from love, she’s included in her newest album.

“I think that idea of love I hope for is that you learn a lesson and you don’t have to learn it twice,” she says. “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.”

Taylor is notorious for outing exes in her music, from Joe Jonas to John Mayer, the singer has some songs that make it clear who she is talking about. “I put details in my songs but never first and last names – and I definitely don’t include social security numbers!”

Right now, Taylor has been linked to 18-year-old British hottie Harry Styles, after having been spotted holding hands and getting cozy together in New York this week. They’ve even gotten themselves a new couple name – Haylor!

It’s no secret that Taylor Swift loves to write about her experiences with boys, whether they’re famous or not. In the past, Taylor is said to have written songs about her exes such as Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner, which are featured on her albums.

One song off of her latest album, called Dear John is rumoured to be about John Mayer, whom she was rumoured to have dated back in 2009 while the duo collaborated on a song together. While Taylor has yet to reveal if the song is really about him or not, John has opened up to say that the song is ‘humiliating’ and he did not deserve it.

“It made me feel terrible,” John says in the new issue of Rolling Stone. “Because I didn’t deserve it. I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do.”

John claims that he had no idea how Taylor was feeling, and only managed to learn after hearing the song himself. “I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call,” he says. “I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I’d already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you’ve ever been, someone kicked you even lower?”

When asked about the line in the song that says “I was too young to be messed with”, John simply said “I don’t want to go into that.”

“I will say as a songwriter that I think it’s kind of cheap songwriting,” he says. “I know she’s the biggest thing in the world, and I’m not trying to sink anybody’s ship, but I think it’s abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, ‘Wait till he gets a load of this!’ That’s bullshit.”

“There’s going to be a lot of speculation and guessing games about who is about because it’s been an eventful two years for me,” Taylor said about her album, “I’m really proud of it, It says everything I’ve wanted to say for the last two years… I gave everything I possibly could have given to that album.”

Taylor’s songs have already been getting fans playing the guessing game over who they’re about, with Back to December about former boyfriend Taylor Lautner, Dear John about singer John Mayer, Last Kiss about Joe Jonas, and Better than Revenge about Camilla Belle.
