Country singer Taylor Swift says she has been single since her split from One Direction star Harry Styles in January last year.
Swift, who has written ballads about her break-ups, says she has no energy to be in love right now, reported Rolling Stone magazine.
"I feel like watching my dating life has become a bit of national pastime. And I'm just not comfortable providing that kind of entertainment anymore," said Swift.
"I don't like seeing slide shows of guys I've apparently dated. I don't like giving comedians the opportunity to make jokes about me at awards shows. I don't like it when headlines read 'Careful, Bro, She'll Write a Song About You,' because it trivializes my work.
"And most of all. I don't like how all these factors add up to build the pressure so high in a new relationship that it gets snuffed out before it even has a chance to start. And so I just don't date," she added.
Swift, who recently released her new single 'Shake it off', says she is not even into casual dating.
"I just think it's pointless if you're not in love. And I don't have the energy to be in love right now. So no.
"It's not like I've sworn off love. My life is just not conducive to bringing other people into it right now. I'm very childlike and romantic about lots of things, but I'm realistic about this.
