To put it mildly, being a recording artist is working out just fine for Taylor Swift, but should the country superstar ever decide to try something else, she could have a career handing out sage relationship advice.Following a very public break up with pop singer Joe Jonas, Swift says she's looking forward, not back.
"What I've learned is that I've really moved on from it," she tells The Boot. "You can't stress about what you can't change. You have to live your life and be happy in spite of whatever doubts you might have or whatever might have happened."
And don't look for Swift to jump into someone else's arms anytime soon: "I'm not typically the girl who dates a lot of guys or is in relationships a lot," the 19-year-old says. "Most of my life, I've been single. If I meet somebody who's great, I'll make an exception. But I'm really happy being alone ... I don't feel a sense of emptiness if I don't have a boyfriend."
The next lucky man should know that Swift is very comfortable in her own skin. "If you're like, 'I need to talk to you' all the time, [or] 'Why didn't you call me back?' ... If you're that girl, then nobody's going to want to date you. I have this rule: I don't call a guy first. And you can't ever send two text messages in a row."
"It's so important to be confident in who you are," Swift advises. "The best thing you can bring to a relationship is a whole person."
Look for Swift's live AOL Music Sessions performance right here on The Boot on December 19.
