Taylor Swift opens up about ex-boyfriends

Taylor Swift has spilled the beans on her former lovers, including John Mayer, Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal, saying that most of her songs are inspired by her failed relationships.

The 23-year-old singer also told New York Magazine that after 'Red' was released, she heard from the guy that most of the album is about, Stuff.co.nz reported.

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' hit maker asserted that the guy told her that he found the album a bittersweet experience and felt like he was going through a photo album.

Swift said that the sentiment was nicer than the "ranting, crazy e-mails" she got from another ex, which is an immature way of looking at a love that was wonderful until it was terrible.
