Taylor Swift: John Mayer's so 'presumptuous'
ABC's Cynthia McFadden did double duty as she interviewed Swift for Glamour mag and Nightline.
McFadden brought up Swift's Dear John song, saying the singer never identified who it was about, but John Mayer recently told Rolling Stone that it was him.
"How presumptuous! I never disclose who my songs are about," said Swift.
"He said he felt…"
Swift interrupted McFadden, "No! I don't want to know, I don't want to know."
(Mayer told Rolling Stone that he was "humiliated" by the song, and that Swift's releasing it was "a really lousy thing for her to do.")
Adds Swift, "I know it wasn't good, so I don't want to know. I put a high priority on staying happy, and I know what I can't handle."
So, McFadden asked, it would hurt too much for her to hear?
"It's not that I'm this egomaniac and I don't want to hear anything negative, because I do keep myself in check," explains Swift. "But I've never developed that thick a skin. So I just kind of live a life, and I let all the gossip live somewhere else. If you go too far down the rabbit hole of what people think about you, it can change everything about who you are."
Undaunted, McFadden brought up her new relationship with Conor Kennedy.
"I don't talk about my personal life in great detail. I write about it in my songs, and I feel like you can share enough about your life in your music to let people know what you're going through."Maybe she shares boyfriend gossip with her close pals? "I'm the kind of girl who needs to tell her friends everything. I've developed this really close-knit group of girls. Two of my close friends are bandmates. My other close friends are Ashley, Claire, Diana, Emma, and Selena," explains Swift.
Emma is Emma Stone, and Selena is Selena Gomez.
They understand her, which sometimes people don't, says Swift.
"I think some people think it's just apple pie and sunshine and sprinkles and ponies. Which is just funny. But I never feel the need to go out and make some grand statement that I'm dark and twisty and complicated, because I'm not that either. It's just not as simple as ponies and rainbows, though I do love ponies and rainbows."
Swift also talks about love in the U.K. edition of Marie Claire, saying she's a hopeless romantic "even after it explodes into a million pieces and burns down and you're standing in a pile of the ash of what it once was thinking, 'Why did I have to meet this person, why did this have to happen?' But then," she continues, "when you make eye contact with someone across the room and it clicks and, bam, you're there. In love again."
