Taylor Swift on Rumors About Her: 'I've Had People Say Really Hurtful Things'

Taylor Swift takes the cover of Vogue magazine’s May 2016 issue!

The 26-year-old entertainer discussed what she’s up to right now, the rumor mill, her boyfriend Calvin Harris, and more. Here’s what she shared…

On taking some time off: “I would really like to take a little time to learn things�I want to be a well-rounded person who can make a good drink�to be able to save somebody if they’re drowning�I do things like this…I got it in my head that I couldn’t do a split, and I was really upset about it. And so I stretched every single day for a year until I could do a split. Somehow I feel better knowing that I can.”

On rumors about her: “I’ve had people say really hurtful things about me, and so I’ve kind of learned how to gauge it: ‘This is, like, low-to-medium-level hurtful.’ There are a lot of really easy ways to dispel rumors. If they say you are pregnant, all you have to do is continue to not be pregnant and not have a baby. If the rumor is that you have fake friendships, all you have to do is continue to be there for each other. And when we’re all friends in fifteen years and raising our kids together, maybe somebody will look back and go, ‘That was kind of ridiculous what we said about Taylor and her friends.’”

On Calvin: “I’m just taking things as they come. I’m in a magical relationship right now. And of course I want it to be ours, and low-key�this is the one thing that’s been mine about my personal life.”
