Taylor Swift may write a great deal about her love life, but she makes a surprising admission in the latest issue of Parade : She doesn’t have a clue what that word means. Not really. “I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate,” Swift tells the publication. “I know how many people I’ve said ‘I love you’ to. I could probably count it up, but I don’t feel like it. Part of me feels you can’t say you were truly in love if it didn’t last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that’s when I’ll know it’s real – because it lasted.” Will Taylor’s latest relationship last? The superstar has been linked to One Direction stud Harry Styles . In the Parade interview, Swift also touches on her attraction to bad boys, along with her penchant for falling VERY quickly… On falling for the wrong type : There’s a really interesting charisma involved. They usually have a lot to say, and even if they don’t, they know how to look at you to say it all. I think every girl’s dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore. On how quickly she loves : I don’t think there’s an option for me to fall in love slowly, or at medium speed. I either do or I don’t. I don’t think it through, really, which is a good thing and a bad thing. You don’t look before you leap, which is like, ‘Yay, this is awesome! Let’s not think twice!’ And then you’re like, ‘We used to be flying. Now we’re falling. What’s happening?’ On fame : I asked for this. I could be playing in a coffee house. I’d be happy doing that, [but] not as happy, probably. Knowing that people are going to hear the music I make is the most amazing feeling. Knowing that there are dudes waiting outside my house with cameras, hiding in the bushes, is a less awesome feeling.
