Taylor Swift inspired by Oprah and Angelina Jolie: 'They better other people’s lives'

Taylor Swift has revealed that she is inspired by the likes of Oprah Winfrey to use her power and wealth for the greater good.

The singer often visits sick children in hospitals and is known to gift the medical centres money.

Speaking in the September issue of Vanity Fair, Swift said that she looks up to the likes of Winfrey and Angelina Jolie, who use their status to help other people.

The '1989' star said: "If you look at Oprah, she’s made so many people happy over the years. She’s made so much money, but she’s given so much of it away.

"Same thing with Angelina Jolie. She’s been so productive, but she’s used that position to better other people’s lives, and I think that’s where I’d want to be."

Speaking meanwhile about how she recently changed her outlook on dating, Swift - who is in a relationship with Calvin Harris - said:

"That was the way that I decided to go on with my life. Not looking for anything, not necessarily being open to anything, and only being open to the idea that, if I found someone who would never try to change me, that would be the only person I could fall in love with.

"Because, you know, I was in love with my life."
