'Shake It Off' superstar Taylor Swift recently sat down with Buzzfeed for a brief interview and opened up about what she has learned over the past two years. 

When asked if there's one thing she knows now at the age of 24 that she didn't when she was 22, the beauty explained that realising you can be fulfilled without having a romantic relationship is new to her and something she has really come to value:

"I didn’t realise that being in love with your life can be just as wonderful as being in love with another person. Every relationship takes work and effort, and when I put that work and effort into my friends, family, and fans… my life changed completely."

Swift went onto add that doing things like moving to Manhattan and chopping off her long hair came out of her new understanding about how to make herself happy:

"I started making choices based on what I wanted, and didn’t feel like I needed to justify them. If I wanted to cut my hair, I did it. If I wanted to move to New York, I did it. If I wanted to take a spontaneous road trip, I did it. At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it. I also learned how to needlepoint ironic cross stitches of rap lyrics and gave them to my friends as presents. I’ll let you decide which is the more important revelation."
