    Taylor Swift has kind of been everywhere recently promoting her upcoming album 1989 and doing all of the mandatory press that goes along with it. She is gracing the cover of British Vogue and in the issue's cover story Swift tackles the obligatory discussion about dating. She claims to be looking at her life realistically right now and seeing that a guy just doesn't fit into the picture at this point. Being likable has nothing to do with it. The fact that Swift brings a lot of baggage (and paparazzi) with her right now is less than fair to any decent guy so she claims to not even be looking for love.
