Taylor Swift: "Boys Only Want Love If It's Torture"

Shake It Off singer talks 1989 song Blank Space, revealing she feels it may be time to date a man not a boy...

Taylor Swift has opened up about her past relationships, revealing she believes her love life woes could be down to the fact that she's been dating "boys" instead of "men".

During an interview with The Sun, Taylor - who has dated the likes of Harry Styles and John Mayer - was quizzed about a lyric on 1989 album track Blank Space, which sees her sing: "Boys only want love if it's torture."

When asked about that particular lyric, the 24-year old stated: "I was thinking about this - boys only want love if it's torture and a constant chase. Men want love if it's real, right, healthy and consistent.

"Any girl who's really thought a lot about romance and relationships and break-ups has determined that the male species has divided into two groups - and it's boys and men. You can have a 40 year old boy and a 20 year old man - it depends on their emotional DNA."

"I think it's important to find romance and magic in your life without there being a relationship that constitutes that."

Taylor's new album 1989 is out now!
