Taylor Swift alone, perfectly happy

Dismissing relationship rumours about herself, singer Taylor Swift says she is single and contented too.

The 24-year-old opened up about her writing style, her decision to leave Spotify, and her link ups in an interview with Billboard magazine, reports mirror.co.uk.

When asked if writing about her love life had given her any problems with the way people "connect the dots", she said: "I don't have anyone whose feelings are on the line except for me.

"If I was in love with someone right now, I don't know how I would handle everyone else weighing in on our stories, because when you're in a relationship, there are a lot of secrets and a lot of sacred moments that you don't want to divulge."

Swift, who has been linked back to her former boyfriend Harry Styles and The 1975 front man Matt Healy, has said that she's happy on her own.

"I am 24, perfectly happy being alone. One of the reasons I'm perfectly happy being alone is that no one gets hurt this way," she said.
