She's had her share of famous boyfriends - and has written songs about a few of them to boot.

But Taylor Swift has insisted that she's just not bothered that her love life is a Blank Space right now.

25 Times Taylor Swift Was The Most Awesome Person On The Planet

That time she was Time Magazine's Person Of The Year 2014. That's a whole lot of people Taylor is considered more awesome than.

That time she was Billboard's Woman Of The Year 2014. In case we forgot she is both awesome AND has a vagina.

That time she made it snow at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013…

…then came back the next year and was basically an Angel herself.

4 of 25
That time her 1989 album became the only thing we listened to, even though we couldn't stream it on Spotify, and actually had to buy it. SO worth it.

5 of 25
That time she made history by knocking HERSELF off the top of the Billboard Hot 100, when 'Blank Space' dethroned 'Shake It Off'.

But, obviously, ‘Shake It Off’ just shook the whole incident off.

That time she borrowed Cara Delevingne's eyebrows for her Wonderland magazine cover and even got a shout-out from Cara herself.

That time she posted a 'No It's Becky' picture on tumblr and we all lol'd at her GSOH.

Speaking of Taylor's humour, her flying unicorn costume WON Halloween 2014.

That time her playsuit was all we could talk about at the 2014 MTV VMAs.

And THAT dress at the 2014 American Music Awards. Hello, lover.

That time Taylor was 'Drunk In Love' at the 2014 Grammy Awards.

That time she showed Harry Styles what he was missing with her sexy 'I Knew You Were Trouble' performance at the 2013 Brit Awards.

14 of 25
That time she made an icky face about Justin and Selena macking backstage at the 2013 Billboard Awards. Never too old for those.

15 of 25
That time she was BFFs with EVERYONE! Hey Lorde…

16 of 25
…and Karlie…

17 of 25
…and Candice, Lily and Martha…

18 of 25
…and Emma Stone…

19 of 25
…and Ed. WHEN'S IT OUR TURN, TAYLOR?

20 of 25
That time she liked cats.

21 of 25
That time she got Kanye'd at the 2009 MTV VMAs…

22 of 25
…then had the last laugh by gifting Ed Sheeran this Yeezy-quoting jam.

23 of 25
That time she went matchy-matchy with Mama Swift. Repeat performance this Christmas, please!

24 of 25
That time she looked like this on the phone as a 4-year-old. So much sass in such a little Swift.

Speaking to E! News, she was asked if she'd deliberately sworn off of dating.

"It's not that as much as I'm just very protective of my happiness," she replied.

"I found a place in my life that feels really great and I'm not willing to compromise that for just anyone, and so, you can paraphrase that all you want into something very extreme, but they make what I say extreme no matter what I say.

"So I'm really happy about the fact that being single doesn't feel like being alone. I have love in my life, I just don't have a relationship, and that feels really natural right now."

Asked about the public fascination with who her songs might be about - T-Swizzle vowed to keep on putting it all out there.

"It's so interesting that my songwriting method has not changed, the formula hasn't changed, but just the way the rest of the world views me has changed.

"So it's the same thing as me sitting in class when I was 15 and writing a song about an issue I had or a crush or a disappointment. It's just now I'm not sitting in class now, I'm on a plane across the world, but I'm still writing about my life and I swore to my fans I wouldn't change that, and I'm not going to."

Hooray!

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
"Oh, my God, look at that face!"
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny? Rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh, my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
