Taylor Swift: doesn't like to talk sex issue in public (Allure Mag - April 2009)

Taylor Swift is simply captivating on the April 2009 cover of Allure Magazine. The 19-year-old singer shared her thoughts about relationship, inspiration and sex.

Highlights of Swift's Allure interview via PEOPLE.

On discussing sex in public: “It’s fine to talk about love publicly but I think when you talk about virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture you naked. And as much as I can prevent people picturing me naked, I’m going to.”

On how relationships gone bad inspire her: “Let’s say I date a guy who really does nothing but damage me. And you’ve spent time, you’ve spent effort, and you’ve put everything into trying to make that work. And it didn’t. So you write a song about it. It was worth everything if you write a song about it.”

On fairy tales being a big inspiration: “I have always been fascinated with fairy tales, and the idea that Prince Charming is just one castle away. And you’re gonna run across a field and meet each other in the middle, and have an amazing, perfect movie kiss. And it’s gonna be happily ever after.”
